It wasn't deliberate on your part, and you presumably only did what they would do to you in a heartbeat...Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

I sent an email stating that I didn't want the job, since I'm not assertive enough to state this in a call. When he called I wouldn't get into 'my reasons' for rejecting (because that's when he was able to turn me over last time).Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostOoh go on then, what happened?

Que "Lost relationship with client"; "very unprofessional"; "will take you off our books now"
Oh well, at least I did it like a plaster - painful but quick.
Feel a bit Hitch-like at the moment...

I verrrrry much doubt they would remove someone from their books, you could be income to them, one day!
Deffo don't worry about it - he'd have done the same to you.
And - CONGRATS!!
