jencat | In which the world has gone mad

Ack, and basically several other expletives. I finally managed to scrape a few hours of temp work (at the hospital I thought I escaped last year..!). This involved me calling agency, agency saying 'yay, we'd love to have you back!'
Me: *thinks this is waaay too easy*
Agency: We have stuff!! Tomorrow! In a department where you know people! And it's only working til 4pm!
Me: *celebrates, tells everyone*
several hours later..
Agency: Um, errr... you know that training you were supposed to have last year, that we cancelled?
Me: yeeeessss...?
Agency: They, kinda, don't want you working there without that training.
Me: *grits teeth* er, okay, knew it was a long shot at short notice...
Several more hours later...
Agency: They're desperate!! We think. Maybe. Can we call you tomorrow at 9am when they finally decide whether they need you or not?
Me: *grits teeth down several millimetres* Why of course. I have stupidly put myself in the position where I kinda need the money at this point. I shall leap out of bed and await your call!
Next day, 9am comes and goes, and 9.20 arrives *thinks about going back to bed as, hey, they didn't call*
Agency: Hi!! We love you!! They need you!! Now!!
Me: Whah?! Gah! Leaving now!

So I roll into work for 11am instead of 10am, work asks why I was late. I explain that they wouldn't let me know until this morning.
This, apparently, is Just Not True.

ARGH!!!

For some strange reason, despite my contact lenses having caned my eyes basically since I put them in this morning, I still haven't taken them out. Which is odd, and slightly worrying, since I've been home for about five hours now. Also, a slight chance I may have put them in the wrong eyes at some point. *questions own sanity*
