High & Dry in DC

This is a new one for me: the satmodem company I've contracted with announced me on Tue that Fri is my last day.

Which came as an unwelcome surprise as three weeks prior they asked me to extend my contract another two months putting me back home mid-September.

Luckily I gave in to my laziness and did not lease a flat... the hotel I was at was 500m from work, in decent & clean shape and not too expensive compared to 3-month DC area leases. So I did not have any losses.

After a bit of ferreting it turned out that they ran out of money and cut loose all my contractor colleagues... they even pulled the extension crap on one of them as well.

What irked me was that my agency was notified 2 weeks prior but they did not bother to tell me.
