        It's not wrong in the thread title.

            Sadly, the second agent was one of the younger ones.
            The little gel slick haired creatures are breeding and multiplying, and the only way we can control their numbers is to not reply, and to keep your dustbin lid firmly shut.

                Yes. For example just had a call.

                Pimp : "You looking?"
                Me : "No, sorry got a new gig starting Monday"

                Pimp : "Ah ok. I see you are at XYZ currently"
                Me : "Yes until Friday"

                Pimp : "We do a lot of business with their hiring manager, Bilbo Baggins (or equally made up name). Do you know this person?"
                Me : No.

                Pimp : "Is there another hiring manager there you know the name of?"
                Me : "No"

                Pimp : "Do they use a lot of contractors there?"
                Me : "Don't know"

                Pimp : "Are you leaving because your contract ended normally?"
                Me : "Sorry, why the Spanish inquisition?"

                Pimp : "Just doing my job"
                Me : "OK well I'm just trying to do mine"

                Pimp : "Well if they didn't offer an extentions, or it's ending early this can be an indication of ....."
                Me : "A reference or a lack of is also an indication"

                Pimp : "Sure, so is this contract ending as the work is complete or ....."
                Me : "I am on perfectly good terms with the client and would happily come back. In this instance there is not enough work for me to be extended"

                Hastily tried to get him off the phone.

                Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                  Shame you cut him off at that stage.

                    Ah come in we've been expecting you.

                    The point is I was getting asked lots of questions (some latterly becoming more relevant but by that point I was just fed up with all the questions).

                    Leaving this role is not without its clouds, but I am just not happy discussing it in detail with a complete stranger.
