      I'm still quite green here but is the OP for real? This and the 'no-one knows what they're doing but me' rant posts are making me sense a pattern.

      Or rather smell one....

        There are some very freaky people here. Oddly most seem quite normal in real life.

          This is a short term cash flow problem. I am a bonehead for not checking, but the agency is a big concern so would have thought they would be able to negotiate.

          Little guy gets ****ed.

          It was only your last timesheet that is delayed isnt it ? You are owed 17K on that ?

            Rather than mocking you for a simple mistake and showing incredulity you are living hand-to-mouth on your contracting invoices in the first place, I am going to suggest you just take out a loan that will allow you to pay it back in a month cheaply.

                I've always ignored that issue as I find it very hard to believe. For me 1 invoice =2.5-3 months living expenses. I really can't see how you can contract for a long time and not have a substantial warchest.

                  WHS

                  If you're spending all what you earn from contracting and have no war chest you're doing something very very wrong.

                    I was there for 4. 5 days a week.

                    16 x 5 = 80

                    Bear in mind that if you travelled to or fro on weekend days those days will count as well, also 4 months is likely to be more than 16 weeks unless all of them were February.
                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                      17K is way too far over exposed
                      sounds like you are invoicing at the end of the month then waiting 2-3 months to be paid ?

                      and now this gig is bailing the previous one out ?


                      if it were me, I would be having sleepless nights, I dont care how big the agency was
