The Agency. Oh man.

Today they decide, all contractors should invoice weekly. Because they haven’t screwed it up enough. They want it no later than Friday, at 11AM. You know, an hour before I start my shift that day. Not to mention Saturday. And the Agency wants the approved timesheets from my client to accompany it. But you cannot bill for ‘future time’, so the timesheets won’t get approved in time. So I can’t bill for my hours.

Yes, I tried repeatedly to speak with my representative about this. She never returned my calls. Or email.

My boss is on my side with this: she’s willing to go to the mat and demand they rescind the change. (Which hey, also breaks the contract I signed with the Agency; you know, because they put in writing when and how I invoice to get paid. Not to mention they almost didn’t pay me on time according to the contract they signed.)

I’m loving the work. I ended up in the office 90 minutes early today (after my doctor’s appointment, and oh yeah, I woke up a half hour before my alarm today too). I’m hitting a groove with this work.

So of course, the Agency has to make things worse.

Stay tuned.
