No job - wait, job!
Today while I was at work, a good number of people came up to me and went, "So, I guess today is your last day, huh?"
I kind of blinked at them and replied, "Um... no one's told me!"
Admittedly I kind of suspected, seeing as the woman who's been ill for the past few weeks who I'm here for* came back this morning. But it was still a little annoying to not get a phone call from the HR person letting me know this was my last day until, like 2:30. It meant I couldn't call the temp agency until then, and of course they don't have any assignments for the rest of the week at this much of the last minute.
HOWEVER!
I mentioned this was the end of my stay to a woman who've I've been helping by stuffing folders, and who has 1,000 folders to do in the next few days, and she looked genuinely upset - both because of the 1,000 folders and, she said, because she'd really liked having me around. (Aw!)
About 15 minutes after she left, she called me and asked if I had any other temping assignments for the next few days. When I replied no, she got excited and told me not to accept any, because she was going to call Steve and see if they could get me back for a few days to help her.
So the upshot is, I'm going to be back at the same place doing nearly the same thing for Wednesday and Thursday! But I get a nice break day inbetween. WHICH MEANS I MIGHT GET TO GO TO RUGBY PRACTICE OMG.
(Maybe not, because the weather's supposed to be shite, but still --!!)
*Technically I was replacing the girl who was replacing her, but that's complicated.
