atw: Recruitment behaviour

I have just been hung up on.
By a bloody recruiter.
The usual thing, an enquiry (why are they always rude poms who sound as 
though they would try and sell their grandmothers for warm beer?) from 
some mob I last had contact with in Sept 2003; asking would I be 
interested in a permanent role.
I asked "Tell me about the role?" (Could people please let me know if this 
question was relevant and fair).
He replied: " I don't have the details about the role with me; but..."
I asked if he could send me the details before we continued.
He hung up.

Well what on earth is going the hell on. If recruitment agents want some 
respect why the hell don't they give it? Were they just going to use me as 
padding to get their incompetent little pet over the line? Where is the 
fairness here? Where is the ethical behaviour that is meant to provide 
everyone equal opportunity? Why should I say 'yes' to something I know 
nothing about? 

So my response to you recruitment agents lurking in the background on our 
techwriting list with your little black books at the ready is this:
Go stick your rudeness in your ear. HOW DARE YOU treat people with SUCH 
CONTEMPT. The sooner you parasites learn some manners, the better 
everybody will be. And let me assure you, if I get any funny treatment 
from recruiters with even a sniff of discrimination against me I'll land 
your festy butts into the anit-discrimination people quicker than you can 
scratch'em. I can afford to do it now... And I bloody mean it.

Merry Xmas everyone else. Maybe.
