8 days

Work came. Work went. After 8 days of working with LM, I was getting really excited about the possibility of a future with the company. The benefits and the career options are pretty much endless. Then came the phone call. 

I had the day off today because of an eye doctor appointment. I met my dad for lunch and was making my way back to my room to get started on my PR project when my phone rang. I answered, and it was my boss. To make a long story short and to cut the dialogue that I don't really feel like typing, it goes like this.... I took a temp job with LM as a recruiting assistant and I knew very well that this was a temp job. To cut to the chase, my boss didn't have enough work for me to do and since I was a temp worker, I couldn't get access to the LM network where I would be doing most of the work she hired me for, therefore, no work for me to do. Simple math really. No access + no work = no job. Awesome. She made sure to explain that she appreciated the work I had completed in the 8 days I was there, and that I could use her as a reference in the future. It's just a little disheartening. 

And so the job search ensues.
