Yeah, it was a bit unexpected. Had been working on this contract for 10 weeks, and there was a lot of talk of being converted to regular employees (2 out of our original group of 10 contractors had already been converted). But, company decided that they didn't have enough work to keep us all, and let me and another fellow go last Thursday. Because they deal with lots of very sensitive data, they didn't give us any warning whatsoever (they didn't want to chance a disgruntled employee doing something naughty).
Anyway, it's back to more short-term stuff for now. A chance at a 1-day job this week, and another slightly longer project starting soon.

Oh, dear, sorry to hear about that! It just seems like they should have let you know or something...
