After a number of phone calls and spending most of the day in the dark, I learned that my assignment with Horton, Lantz and Low is now completed. I learned this from Jason while visiting their agency. My agent had said that they did not need me for this week, and that they understood that I needed to look for work, as opposed to just being on call until next week. I stopped by HL2 to pick up a few items I’d left and to get a sign-off on my time sheet. It was then that I learned that HL2′s client had OK’d their presentation and “signed off” on the project. With no mention of future work, Jason thanked me and endorsed my time sheet, indicating that I would no longer be needed.
Working with HL2 was a great experience. I really enjoyed the work and feel that I made a substantial contribution. I hope that I get the chance to work with them again some day.
The down-side to this assignment is that it ended after only one week, which is a far cry from the “four to six weeks” I was promised at the beginning of the assignment. Although unforutnate, I really don’t regret turning down the other two assignments I’d been offered as I accepted this one. These dramatic changes are to be expected, and it’s my responsibility to deal with the logistics these changes involve.
