Well, blast
Got let go from my temp job today. I shouldn't be too upset about it, since it was inevitably going to come to an end, being a temp job and all. There has been a massive cutting of temps in recent weeks because business has been so slow, but we'd been assured that they were done cutting and that things had stabilized. On top of that, I was cut even though I'm more efficient and know how to do more things than one of my fellow temps--whom I like a lot, don't get me wrong. I liked all my co-workers quite a bit, but if you're going to be cutting people, shouldn't you start with the least efficient and work your way up?
So I've gone from being afraid I'd be working too many hours two months ago, to have a fairly good number of hours six weeks ago, to having too few hours for the last month or so, and now I'm looking at less than 10 hours a week until the temp agency finds me another job or I find something myself.
It's actually not losing the job that sucks the most, though. I'm confident that at the very least the agency will come up with something else, and it was a crappy job anyway. But it really sucks to get to know people for a couple months and then BOOM they're gone from your life completely.
