Extension time - been told verbally but nothing sorted yet
Bad day != the right to slag people off in the professional forums. Infraction given. Do not do it again. Constructive, polite feedback or leave it for others to answer please.
If you've been on this board for a while you're allowed to generally act obnoxiously, abuse newbies, but then mess about a bit and everything thinks its funny.
If you're new, then you;re basically not welcome. The forum owner must be so proud.....
The reply was harsh I agree, but you do seem to ignore a lot of the advice given or at least question it. Just for clarity, can you answer the question about whether you are direct to client or via an agent.

Agent.
I think its true to say that some people treat this forum as a bit of a therapy session though. Blow off a bit of steam sort of thing?

That option tends to hold true I must admit but some people make themselves a much easier target than most. Everyone has a threshold before they break and you seem to be pushing most peoples... and you can't see it which is the strangest thing. You take advice from people that tell you something but don't take a hint from people that say naughty things. They are both a form of feedback. You can't take one and ignore the other (the odd ones maybe).
Most of your threads end up in you taking some abuse nowadays, and not from the same people. No Smoke, fire etc....

You do understand who you are contracted to don't you? You are not contracted with the client co but the agen, the agent will give the extension to you if he receives an extension from HIS client. Have you spoken to the agent about the extension?
Some people do get a bit short with you, but you really do need to listen to the advice you are given.
