Well, that didn't last long.

I just got off the phone with the temp agency, and they told me that Eddy wanted today to be my last day since I "didn't seem to want to file."

Yes, I was having a difficult time figuring out the details of their filing system. It's one of the most complex I've ever seen, and I haven't had a job that called for filing per se in about 5 years.

However, should I be punished because the woman who was supposed to train me was distracted since the day I started there due to her son's illness and has been out at least part of almost every day? Should I be punished because two of the people I was told I could ask if I didn't understand something were out on vacation for parts of the 8 days I've been there? Should I be punished because I wanted to know how high a priority I should place on a specific task, if it was something I needed to drop everything to do right that minute or if it could wait until I finished the task I was doing?

One thing I've noticed is that some places hire temps for positions that it's just not appropriate to bring them in for. There simply isn't the time or the resources available to make them able to perform the duties required. I am so sorry that happened to you!
