CollegeStudent7,
Between work and school you've got a lot going on! Good for you!
I've hired and fired office help for years. My advice would be to tell them you have a drs appt, call in sick, or car trouble...whatever you feel comfortable saying. You need to go on those interviews because once they find the person for the job they are currently interviewing to fill, you will be replaced. They are telling you in no uncertain terms you are not the proper fit. A temp assignment is "at will" so you can tell them the same day you will not be in tomorrow. Unfortunately, the same holds true on their end, they can tell you today your services are no longer needed. No hard feelings that is the nature of the temp business.
Quite frankly, giving 2-4 wks notice is a courteous gesture to the company after working there at min 6mos because you will need them as a reference. Some walk you out the same day notice is given. If you are in an executive position the motivation for long term notice is to give the company time to fill your position, or to designate a replacement in time for you to train them. There is usually a nice incentive given to provide this service.
Good luck on your interviews!
