oh I am very sensitive to being terminated but that can happen during temping. I have been terminated because the company found a volunteer to do the work, another time because I could not do the heavy-lifting the position required (I was not told beforehand else I would have declined the assignment), and for this current one, they terminated me because I gave 5 days' notice (per my temp agency's standard agreement for quitting an assignment) and the company did not want to waste time training someone who was just going to work a few more days. I always try to be a good worker but this recent spate of disappointing temp jobs has me on eggshells. still, I need to keep trying. gotta make a living!
