Had to leave my temp job because shit literally happened.

So yeah, for those of you who don't know I have a history with two physical ailments... ARD and IBS, that is... Acid Reflux Disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Some months my stomach decides that it wants to be my mortal enemy and that no amount of suffering for me can satiate it's lust for vengeance.
Thing is, I had a temp job doing data entry when this round started up, and I only get to leave early twice before they make me turn in my badge. Tonight was number three.
In my defense, I was in the restroom for a solid fifteen minutes dealing with *ahem* matters. When it starts out that bad it usually doesn't go away for a while.
Still, gotta call my temp agency tomorrow and tell them of what happened, then see if I can't get another placement out of them. Wish me luck gang.
EDIT: I would like to point out that the whole 'three strikes' thing is because this job was only available for a limited time anyways and they wanted to discourage people from taking off work just because they could. This was a government job and a lot of money for the bank doing it, so they wanted to make sure they made deadline.
This was actually a rather good job. Easy work, a comfortable break area, and they even had catered lunch on Easter as well as a raffle (someone won a $500 Visa card, someone else won a big screen TV, and someone else won a Samsung 7" tablet PC on my shift alone. These prizes were given out to one person on each shift, and to enter you just had to clock in that night). This was probably one of the better places I've worked, just a very strict place.
UPDATE: Contacted the staffing agency. They were sympathetic, may well have something new for me within a day or so. Nice to know I'm working for a good one this time.

Best of luck sweetie
I was working a temp job doing data entry for the IRS. It was contract work and, even if I hadn't had this happen, the job would've been over by next week. The reason they do this is to discourage people from taking off just because they can or skipping out on work, it just so happens that my own health issues came back to bite me in the ass (or do something painful back there anyways).
Honestly what'll happen is that I contact my temp agency tomorrow, explain the situation, and they'll find me somewhere new to work.
