    It doesn't help that they're a tad musty in an unpleasantly musty sort of way.

      Pimp just rang me about an ideal role.

      Forgot to get his name at the end of the call.

      DOH!

      Hopefully he'll call me back if they want to interview me.

        Did he need 3 references?

          no 5.

          He did say his name ( I wasn't paying attention, DOH!) and the gig is at a company I've worked before.

          Will have to wait and see.

            What happened to the mysterious overseas client from last week?

              I haven't heard back and don't expect to, I think he was trying to fill a role that someone else had already been taken on for but they weren't quite happy with and he probably told them he could get someone in at short notice.

              This gig is same niche market and same country, added advantage I've worked with them before (as a permie) and can get some internal references if need be.

              Will have to wait for the pimp to get back to me. Apparently these people will wait for the right person, as opposed to the last lot who apparently won't wait.

                Betcha it's the same company and the last pimp was trying to pull a fast one

                  Gosh.

                  Another project done for a foundation year esteemed customer.

                  I amaze even myself sometimes.

                    The first one was with a small Dutch company on specific workstreams and this one is with a subsidiary of a UK company on an overall workstream

                      Just had a call from a Dutch pimp, they sound less sleazy than UK pimps, must be the accent "for schure ya"
