    Bloody Agents

    Fishing trip ... again.

    Agent: "Hi, Dave Timewaster here. Got a couple of roles that look like you'd be a perfect fit for".

    Me: "OK. Tell me about them."

    Agent: "Firstly, I need to know where your CV has been sent, to avoid duplication: it can make you look a bit unprofessional with the client."

    Me: "You tell me the 2 companies you mentioned a moment ago, and I will tell you if my CV has been sent to them."

    Agent: "Er, before we go into details, I will also need you to provide 2 references from your current & previous manager..."

    Me: "Thanks, Dave. When you have a real job to tell me about then give me a bell. Bye."

    The irritating gits.

          Yes. And I agree with that, too.

                  I would have to agree with you on that, yes.

                    Well, I can see why you would.
