    My contact email address needs sorting out: [email protected] doesn't make the best first impression.
    The email addresses are obviously stripped out by the time we get them, but I'd have hired you on the strength of that addy alone...

    That'd have been one of the tamer ones! It was amazing how many of them appeared to use their e-mail addresses as a means of telling other people about their perception of the size of their John Thomases. Or perhaps they were just warning agents about their personalities. It was hard to tell.

    The Mayans were right!

    Actually, despite some time spent foiling with agents this week, it's been generally OK on the communications front my end. One gig that came up last week through an agency I haven't dealt with before, and that I've just been offered today, also came up through a second agent that I know better. I wasn't able to be represented for the role by the second agent that I know better as I was already in through the first lot, but he did provide some useful info unprompted about the role I secured this week nonetheless.

    I don't get it, unsolicited helpful information willingly passed on without prompting from an agent. Does not compute....
    Newbie agents try to be polite and do things by the book. They will soon learn to become like other agents....
