Random Rants

I'm currently dealing with agents over three possible jobs.
-
Due to a lack of communication between agent and client, and things getting in the way, I've had a phone interview fall through twice now. OK, the client is in Australia, and I'm in the UK, but it's not that hard to sort out surely?
-
One other job is a short term project in Guildford. So the rate is lower than in London (where I live), and the commute is awkward and expensive.
-
The third is in London, and the agent was talking about a lower rate than my previous contract, despite it being a much shorter project. I've since seen it advertised at up to a bigger number than I've been submitted at. (Some renegotiation might be necessary.) Plus he was unwilling to accept that the best window for a phone interview would be tomorrow morning as I'm seeing company #2 in the afternoon.
I'm not really that bothered by any of the above. In fact, the continual hassle of dealing with recruitment agents is really putting me off working in this way.

been finding/hunting for plain copper zippo lighter but because it's no longer in production, ebay is the only way. problem is, those cheaper ones only does shipping within US while those that are willing to ship internationally, the bids go sky-high.
like those that only ships within US is going around USD30ish while the internal ones? USD100 and over.

Copper or brass, never seen a copper one but I have a couple of plain brass ones laying around in a drawer if you want one.
-
I'll dig them out later and drop you a PM Eddie.

Tonights episode of "I hate people" is brought to you by the people of eBay.
List my old phone for £165 on eBay as a buy it now and watch in frustration as it attracts no interest, yet people bid on the same phones but in worse condition up to the price of over £180.
Decide to put the phone on an auction and immediately get messages saying "Hi, do you have a buy it now price?".
People suck.
