vipers' nest

It has been almost two months I rolled back to the vipers' nest. My feelings remain pretty much the same, just that I got a new house and a better pay. Something big has happened though, and I have been persecuted by it. Nobody knows what has happened. The ones I know may not even appear in my life again. Anyway, these days my decision not to speak out against another three months of probation has been attacked by my senior colleauges. Maybe they are right. Why do I need to get a six-month test? Afterall, I thought I got a 60 per cent raise in salary so asking for another favour would have seemed too odd.
