I got a mail from a pimp last night (sunday) at 8pm.

As I'm on the bench it was most welcome!

Now lets see if I get an interview.

(and the rate is only 60% of last rate, but it is local and beggars can't be choosers)

I had a call today as well at 3pm from a Agent - pre-arranged Friday.

Looks like they are working overtime

Not that I'm interested in the gig, but I am intrigued. I'll not bother calling him, I'm sure he'll be in touch again...

Sounds promising, a call on Saturday.

I had a call on a Saturday evening (7pm) earlier this year. I got the gig.

Which proves what muppets certain agents are.

I once had a pimp call me at 8 on a Sunday morning for a contract with a stunningly good rate. I was suddenly wide awake

Then the idiot realised I didn't live in London and started making excuses. "So what?", said I, as I could rent a decent pad for the duration, but no, he wasn't having it.

Not unheard of for pimps to work at the weekend. Maybe he got a lead on Friday and wants some people to go back with on Monday before some other fecker nicks it. Or the client could just be wanting people quickly.

Perhaps he's been given 5 days to save his job and he's trawling for his life- ?
Or perhaps he fancies you?

Yep, sounds like he was on Autopilot mode, didn't realise it was the weekend. Having said that, there are a couple of "Urgent Contract" listed for Saturday 18 July - maybe the market really is picking up? Nah, can't be..

Pimp called me on Saturday!

I've just heard the voicemail, no details apart from "please contact me"

What's that all about?
