Got home from work and found that a temp agency had seen my resume on Monster.com and wanted to contact me about resuming work for them. I last worked for this place four years ago, for about three weeks, and it was not a pleasant experience; the only job they got me was part-time, filling in for someone's vacation, and after it ended on what I had thought was a good note, the temp coordinator called me and lectured me on unspecified things I'd done wrong. I was supposed to come in for a "more thorough look at how you are supposed to represent us" when I was hired somewhere else.
Given all this, I have no idea why they wanted to talk to me again; has the person who didn't like me left? I'm seriously puzzled, since if I was a poor enough employee that they reprimanded me I can't see any reason why they'd want me back. So I called them up and left a message stating that I was not interested in working with them based on the above, and requested that they take my name out of their database.
I'm still scratching my head over this one.

Oddly enough, I got *another* message from a temp service, this one a legal temp agency based in Boston, two hours away. I left a polite message stating that I was not interested in legal work because I'd rather crawl through ground glass on my hands and knees than work for another lawyer, plus I lived well outside their area and was not planning to relocate. It's not quite as insane as the time a lawyer in Austerlitz, New York, called me for an interview, but it's still a puzzlement.
