So with that in mind I beleive it only correct for me to start looking for other work (so I have been)

I was up for a job at Orange in Amsterdam a few weeks back, but the agency had asked me for a 'motivational letter' at which point I'd said 'in that case thanks, but no thanks'

Well, that paid off and it seems O. like my attitude and want an interview :)

Shame as I really liked this job/place/people/lifestyle but it is the shape of a pear thanks to the agency.
(Who btw are doing themselves no favours with their client atm...they (the client) don't like hiring people who don't get paid for obvious reasons)

Why is _nothing_ ever easy.
