    Sympathy for Agents

    I'm working part-time as a booking agent for our Rockabilly band. I seem to spend half my day on the "telling bone", sending e-mails, talking to slightly impatient pub and restaurant owners, and bass players and drummers who keep saying things like "probably" and "might", and "just in case you didn't know I won't be in town after all on Saturday".



    To all those Agents out there.

    You have my full sympathy.
    I'm alright Jack

      I hand the keys back to the shop tomorrow. The painter who was supposed to repaint the front of the shop has disappeared. Supposed to have been finished today.

      I go to the shop, it's half done. The undercoat is really thin, which means it needs two coats of gloss to cover the strong colour below.

      The keys go back tomorrow at 4pm. I put the guy on this job on Monday. It's a two day job. He pissed off to another customer first.

      "Don't worry" he says, 'It should be fine'
      "It needs two coats mate, not one, I've just looked at it, how many coats can you get done in gloss by tomorrow?'
      "One" - was his reply
      "FFS - I told you that if it was painted by 4 O Clock tomorrow and the dark colour below removed it was going to cost me £500 fine according to my lease. It needs two coats"
      "Well just tell him I'll do it Saturday" - was his reply "I'll do me best but whatever will be will be"
      "It cant be Saturday, as I've told you 4 O Clock tomorrow I give the keys back!"
      "Chill out, it'll be fine"

      Whatever will be will be!!!!!****!!!!!!!!!!

          Tell him that what will be will be him not getting paid.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
