Turns out I was way too insecure and over analytical as I received a job offer today.

Happy dance, happy dance, happy dance.

Just goes to show a thank you is never wrong.

Yay, Mama!  It may have been the agency wanted to wait to contact you after salary negotiations were completed.

As someone who worked in temp staffing for several years, I want to differ a bit.  In a normal interviewing situation, I wholeheartedly recommend that people send a thank-you note, but when there is a third party involved in blurs the line a bit.  Is this a temp-to-perm situation or is it a direct placement with the company?  I do think it makes a difference especially if the agency is going to be paying your salary for a while.

Going by the response of the person who received the note, I do think you overstepped a bit by sending a card directly to the company.  I would contact the person at the recruiter at the agency and explain what happened.  I don't think it's a major deal, but like I said, sometimes the lines are blurry in this situation.  Some employers were very much against having too much contact with temporary employees because of potential legal issues.

I worked in the same industry and agree with you 100%.  It is not proper protocol to contact the potential employer.    This is why they go thru an agency.
