I suppose given the rather infrequent requests generated from my website this week has started with a furry of activity. Not only did I receive an actual order which has duly been completed (no feedback yet though) but rather bizarrely I also received a request from somebody seeking employment. I must admit that it was quite flattering that somebody must think I am more professional than I actually am and that based on the website they presumed that I was running a successful operation receiving so many requests that I was sub contracting the work out as opposed to the four poems in three months that I have completed.
I promised to keep hold of his details should the situation change and I have done but hopefully he finds something in the meantime as he may have a long wait and I did not have the heart in dispelling the notion that I offer a professional service. It seems churlish to fault find with his enquiry but the pedant in me refuses to ignore making criticisms - I know I'm not perfect but I welcome people commenting on e.g. my punctuation as for one thing it means somebody is paying attention to me. Anyway the "application" was done in verse form and included the phrases "beneath my chest" and "from the heart" to describe where he was speaking from emotionally and this confused biology did jar with me. I did not have the heart (from within my chest) to point this out as I thought one blow was enough for him in one day. Had I a job to offer him then what little experience I have may have felt inclined to offer some constructive criticism,
