I daren’t book anything until I’m given a clean bill of health, which may be too late for this one. Hope you both get the recognition you deserve there x

Was supposed to have a webchat 1-1 with an agent today and my camera didn’t work (new updates I think) so I missed the whole bloody session and am SO frustrated as I was waiting for this to help me decide the way forward with the wip. Gah. Excuse me while I rant/sob.
-
Oh, that’s awful. Have you managed to contact the agent to explain?
-
Yes, and the people who were organising the meeting have also talked to her. She’s going to send me some feedback apparently, but that might take a while and urgh it’s just so frustrating. Plus me messing them around hardly leaves a good impression, does it?
-
Oh Raine. I would be tearing my hair out and breaking things. What a b****r. I bet you were all psyched up for it as well…
-
I don’t know. I wouldn’t hold it against somebody in your position and I’m sure the agent won’t either. I imagine that doesn’t help much though.

-
Oh no! Blasted technology. Great when it works but a pain in the proverbial when it doesn’t! Hope the agent is sympathetic and you get something worthwhile in the feedback. Sending a hug x
-
Having had a couple of technological cock-ups myself today, you have my sympathy, Raine. Hope a replacement session can be organised.
-
Oh, ffs, what a time for technology to have a hissy fit! That’s awful, Raine, and I feel your frustration … but hopefully (surely) the agent will too. Here’s to the feedback being of the positive kind x
-
Ug! So so frustrating. 🙁

Thanks @gippsgirl, some of these look like good possibilities. 🙂 Good luck if you are subbing to any of them.

This was received from Words Away whose courses I’ve done (with Andrew Wille) and attended some of their salons. Hoping there might be an opportunity here for someone.

Anyone thinking of going to this? I’ve booked and would be lovely to see a familiar face or two.
It’s marginally more accessible for the more northerly amongst us, which is fab. -

Je M’Appelle Missy (384 inluding title)
A sweet voice announced, “Je M’Appelle Missy”.
I looked up from the menu and immediately two sets of Brown eyes burned into each other.
An awkward smile later and my schoolboy French produced a stunted smile from the young waitress which turned into a guffaw, like that of surprising a toddler wit…[Read more]
