    Agent just went mental with me...

    It was an earful down the phone. Jumped up city boy hoping to land a fish before the weekend no doubt. He ranted about how long he spent on the phone with me as if that were currency.

    Isn't it time to lose the '45' branding? Or do you just WANT to wear a "I'm a loser' badge?

    That would be a major error. Gigantic smugs are very hard to come by in this world, so every smug should be treasured, honed polished and then revelled in.

    Keeping it as short as possible.. a London based agent contacted me about a job in Germany (not the first agency to contact me about this job and I informed him so). I'm interested.

He then went on a rant about how bad everyone else was.

    Spoke with agent B in another european country. Worlds apart. He knew how contracts worked for freelancers in the EU, knew the system. And above all spoke well. He was my choice. I felt comfortable being represented by him in what is a niche market for me.

    So I wrote an email to agent A: Dear xmcx, I regret to inform you that on this occasion it is not my wish for you to represent my candidacy with regards to xx position. But if I may I would like to hold on to your details for some future opportunity.
