The new job I started didn't last for very long. We underwent a restructure at work which meant the person whose job I was doing came back much sooner than expected. And that meant that I only had three weeks in the job instead of three months. Very amusing considering how nervous I was about starting it - I need not have worried.
Essentially what happened is that someone higher up the chain from me came back from leave expectantly and so the business had to be reshuffled to give them something to do. This caused a whole host of people to be returned to the jobs they actually own and I was at the very end of that little chain of dominoes.
It was heartening, after being told that I wasn't needed any further, that my boss said "YES!!" like she had won the lotto when I told her I was returning to her team. It is nice to be loved.

The best two sentences to hear at work are "Please don't leave" and "We're so glad you're back". (Well, they're a close second to "Would you like a Tim Tam?") Glad to hear you're in a happy place at work. :)
It's funny the way things happen. I hope you're enjoying your old work again, and isn't it nice to get that sort of feedback from your old-and-now-new-again boss.
