yesterday was an awful day. this is an attempt at making a long story short. i work for an agency as a freelance designer. basically, they are my pimp - they find me work, i go, and they get a cut of my pay. they sent me here to fordham to work for 2 days - that was over 5 months ago. so i finally got offered a permanent gig here. they wanted to sign me before christmas so i could get a paid vacation which took a load off my mind cause i couldnt afford to not get paid for those days - especially since we are closed for over 10 days. then there was a snag. the agency has a policy that if i get hired before being at a place for 6 months, they get a commission of 25% of my first year salary. after being here for 6 months, they wave the fee. my 6 months is up january 10th. excluding the days that we are closed here and i will not be working anyways, and by the time all the paperwork gets filled out here, thats about 10 days left. the company here cant afford to pay the fee and asked to have the fee waved. i called them and begged them saying if i dont get this, i cant pay my rent. well, they refuse. ive worked for them for over a year, enduring so much shit as i asked them to place me somewhere else cause i was miserable and they didnt do shit about it. they have made an obscene amount of money off me in the time ive worked for them. so, now i cant pay next months rent. before being offered the job, i asked them to find some temp work for me during the holidays so i could make some money but cancelled it this morning cause i refuse to allow them to make a penny more on me than they should while im here. last night was their christmas party and i didnt go because i was so mad and i knew that if i was around them and drinking, well, something bad would happen. faces might even be broken. i was so upset and angry yesterday. then i get this email from my dad this morning:

Nic
I was thinking about the xmas week and the whole thing that happened there.
The week will probably be a dead one all over, and it may be tough to find a temp place, so rather then knock yourself out and drive urself nuts, I will be happy to employ you for the week and you can just take off and enjoy yourself.
It will be good so that you start in January more relaxed and forget what the agency did.

Love ya
