Flabbergasted

Today was a good day at SMD, the more hours-heavy of my new jobs. I made the bus that gets me there a minute late - not so good, but considering I got up an HOUR after my alarm was supposed to go off, I'll take it. I found out for sure I was doing pretty well on the rate I was told I should be accomplishing the work (So far, and accounting for my newness.) I didn't take any extra break time (Nor have I any other day; today I am guilty of going for five minutes to get tea in place of a 15 minute break and taking 40 minutes for a 45 minute lunch break. I've sometimes even taken the whole 45 minutes.) I did check my e-mail once, but the rest of my time on the internet was directly work-related, and mainly doing what I was told by my manager to do if I needed to find certain kinds of information. I played my music at a volume that might be audible to someone immediately inside the room, and didn't edit out the Nightwish, but there were no OTs or volunteers in their respective proximate areas, and the office next to mine was empty all day, so I think even the places I screwed up the harmony weren't offensive to anyone's ear. At the end of the day, I said "see you Wednesday" to all the people in my area, and even talked a bit about not being sure yet what was going on in July, but all sounded sure it would get straightened out. My direct Manager said a goodbye on the way out, and everyone waved in a friendly way.

Later, Colin phoned me at the friend's place I was at, to tell me the temp agency had called to say the SMD job is cancelled, and not to go in for the next shift.

WTF??

I am SO calling the agency tomorrow to find out what's going on. Because I guarantee you, nobody I was working with had a hint, and NOBODY has said I've done anything wrong. Sometimes the opposite.
