I temp as a secretary and he calls now and again to check on my availability (I am registered with one or two other agencies too). I emailed him to say I'll be in touch again when I'm next free for work. His response was, "You only want to call to gloat". I didn't answer, but what did he mean by this?

It sounds like he was saying to you " you're keeping in work and that's good, you're phoning to tell me that I mustn't phone you because you're sooooo busy with work, Great". This person didn't mean it in a bad way. He was joking with you and he is pleased for you. In other words you're only phoning him to tell him you have work. He means nothing bad.

Yeah she's on conflict highway huh. i like the way they say "commonplace single mom " earning "$225K and investments of $35K" . All those single mothers are in basic terms swimming in it.

I think he's desperate to place you somewhere (in order to get commission) and finds it hard to accept that you have found a job without his help ...
