Feel needed by someone is really great!

I've just checked my emails and my supervisor at EAS wrote about a similar opportunity in College of Science. He said with 5 of us trying to divide 40 hours/week, it might be over-crowded and so we could apply to that job if we want to and he will write us a recommendation. Then I replied to him saying that I will apply to that job and ask where I should send my resume to. His reply made happy! He said, "I hope you don't get the job, you've become far to valuable to lose. :-D" I don't have any intention to leave, but just in case they think they have too many people and decide to kick out one of us, it's safe to have something in hand, don't you think? And so I replies to him saying that I will just apply in case they decide to kick us out. And guess what he replies! He said that don't apply if I don't want to, just stay and he will make sure I have a job there until I graduate =D

Well, he really made my day..It's really nice to know that people want you to stay =)
