Lying agents
You know I've been around a long time and seen it all. But the agent on this current gig really is taking the biscuit. Every single thing he has told me is a straight lie. Its hard not to burst into laughter speaking to him now. Lots of it is stuff he should expect me to find out pretty soon after arriving on site too. Thankfully its a short gig and I wont have to put up with him for long. May name and shame him later (after I've been paid) some of this stuff is outrageous.
Client is a nightmare too, completely clueless and beyond saving, just been brought in as the scapegoat.
Ah well.Tags: None
