Venting on our long line of temps

Ok, so this is getting really ridiculous! Apparently I am the problem and that is why we can't get a person to stay at this position. I have no idea why our first girl left but out of the 3 temps we have had we have rec'd the following feedback...

"Julie was condenscending towards me. She had a bad attitude."

"I was not trained on the phones, was not given a break, was not given a regular lunch."

So basically this is all really baffling to me. So the first girl, basically her issue was that she didn't want to work here so she was telling the agency whatever she wanted to get out of it and was happy when I complained about her...Still I don't understand how I was condenscending. I've asked people up in this front office as they can hear me training and they have no idea where that came from either.

So the second girl we had come in on Friday. The first comment out of her mouth was that she didn't like the traffic on 405 and never wanted to make the drive again....ok, so basically she doesn't want to come back right? Well, I trained her on the phones and the mail, it was a slow day on Friday and I knew that she didn't want to be here so why show her how to do a lot of stuff? So I was up here for an hour in the morning showing her how to answer the phones and believe me, she had every piece of paper she could that had to do with the phones so I don't know why she had no instruction on this...got me on that one. With the breaks, I told her to let me know when she was going on a break and I would take the phones, nobody else had a problem with this but her. So since I didn't come up and tell her to go on one, she says we didn't let her. So at noon, I show her how to give the phones to Adrienne, which she does, and I invite her to come back and join everyone for lunch and she declines and says she has errands to run so I tell her to be back by one. So don't know why she is saying that we forgot about her so she got a short lunch...

I just dont get this. I don't think that I'm talking rude or not showing them something. What the hell am I doing wrong?

So now Adrienne says this is a problem and she will probably start doing the training. HA! That's funny. That will definately not go over well. But fine with me, then I can actually get my own work done seems how I've been training in addition to my regular job...

Ok, so this was my venting post. Hope you all enjoyed it....Hopefully this will make me feel better. Everyone here is telling me to not let it get to me but kinda hard when it's more than one person saying something and your own boss takes their word over yours...
