I immediately thought "alcoholic, in need of a shave" and then remembered that was Hancock

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).

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...

And the pimp called you unprofessional? What a cheek!

Expect a call from the agent in 6 months time when there is next a slot that your CV looks good for. I had a bollocking beyond belief from one agent, I fought back and it got quite nasty, he rang me like it had never happened the next time the dollar signs flashed before his eyes.

Well done, 2 jobs at once ! BOOMED !

If they start ranting, and you called them - just hang up. If they called you, just put the phone down somewhere and get on with something else.

Not my best moment, I'll admit.

But I fixed it and it's a lesson learnt.

Only Mary Poppins is practically perfect...

He was trying to bully you into it. Now the poor little dear will have to make another phone call to get someone else in. Diddums

Cojak, if you are good enough to get offered the job then they will come crawling back to you.

[DodgyAgent]

You sent an email. Thats IT!

Next time, just say you have an upcoming court case for fraud and you thought it was best to let him know. He'll drop you like a stone!

He'll probably relate well to that

I'm sure it's not your worst moment either (even though I can't prove it!). However, I do believe professionalism is a 2 way thing. If the agent is saying things about you not being professional, then they are also acting unprofessional as well.

They are showing how upset they are because they have lost out on some income. (Which I am sure you already know).

Thanks DA.
