insincerity is worse than indifference

trying to impress a customer by mistaking him for someone else is worse than playing it cool.

i refer to the manager of the local mini dealership who greeted me enthusiastically today as someone completely not me.
two weeks after i offloaded several thousand pounds in his shoppe.

"how was the bonnet when it came back from the body shop?", he asked.
"i've got no idea. i haven't seen the car yet: it's still being built as far i know.', i said.
there was a look of awkwardness on the manager's face.
"you're not mr.smith, are you?"
"ur...no"

i stopped myself from telling him i was embarrassed by his skills.
his expression told me i didn't need to.

there aren't too many 6ft 4" skinheads with spledid ears buying minis in canterbury, surely?

last night i did NOT sleep...till 4am at least.
and now i'm jaded.

got offered a shoot with p-diddy tomorrow BUT I'M BUSY!
and
got offered a gig in west africa with kate garraway today but had to turn it down as it's right when we're skiing with the sons next month.

HATE turning down work: especially trips to places i haven't been before.
