Barry Grant
Founding Director

Roamie
Senior Director


A personal note from the Founding Director:
As some of you may be aware, there was an accusation thrown at Barry Grant Associates. It was a result of a misunderstanding. Barry Grant Associates is actively pursuing unaffiliated agents. We were also considering merging with another agency under the Barry Grant Associates name. However, we realize that that may be a bit overzealous so we are no longer pursuing that.

We will only consider taking in agents already affiliated with another agency if a reference is given from a Director of that agency.

Barry stops in to see if anyone left an application. He checked the in box but the only thing he could see there was dust.

Barry thought to himself, "Hmm. I wonder if the application requirements are too tough." He was not sure a simple sentence or 2 about oneself was too much to ask. "I think I'll wait a few more days. Maybe the Press Release was getting over looked." And with that he placed a bottle of his best Cabernet Sauvingon next to the Press Release and a few glasses.

"Well, that should attract some attention."

Roamie walked into the office, gets his first cup of coffe of the morning and checks the application box with great anticipation. Empty. Roamie decides to write a note and tape it to the outside of the box.

Dear Agents,

BGA has several openings still available. We will upgrade your gear, provide traveling money and of course, a spot in an up and coming agency. If interested, please send a PM to Roamie or Barry Grant.

Sincerly,
Roamie

Chris dragged himself into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee to soothe his aching head. Only problem with needing coffee with such desperation on a Saturday morning is that the evil hangover responsible for such a state usually impairs one's ability to produce a decent brew.

"Uurgh.." Exclaimed Chris eloquently after taking a huge gulp of the coffee. He was not in a position to argue however, as his pounding headache kindly reminded him. So he took another sip, more cautiously this time and occupied himself with reading the morning paper while negociating with his head to take pity on him by feeding it more coffee.

He was distracted by the press release advertising for Barry Grant Associates, tucked within the folds of his newspaper. As Chris skimmed through the article, his pounding headache came back with a vengance as he remembered the reason for his excessive drinking the night before.

He really had to do something about this. "I cant stay in this agency for much longer or Im gonna end up losing my mind" brooded Chris.

He then looked back at the article and thought that this could be a sign that it was time for him to move on. "Maybe this agency could turn out to be what I've always been looking for" Thought Chris cheerfully.

All thoughts of headaches and hangovers were suddenly forgotten!

Barry checked the morning post and found some interesting items. He received 2 letters from New York. A very impressive application from a Mr. Christopher Keller and another interesting letter from NY in a violet envelope. A smile crept onto Barry's face as he read the letter written in a flawless hand.

"Mr. Grant,

Good day to you,

Yes I am indeed aware of Mr. Keller’s intentions to move to Shanghai, and to join Barry Grant Associates.

Christopher Keller has been recently moved out of Moonlighting. Yet I assure you that Moonlighting and all its members only have the absolute best wishes and intentions towards Mr. Keller.

If you require further information concerning Mr. Keller's employment at Moonlighting, may I suggest you seek it from Lady Coco or Miss Agatha Misty.

Whatever you ultimately decide, I personally wish both you and Mr. Keller every possible success...

*nods politely*

Violet Parr"

Barry left immediately to send an invitation.

Miss Violet Parr soon heard of the news.

She was glad of the news, and was also ultimately happy Moonlighting decided to let Mr. Christopher Keller go.

"After all," she thought, "We did not want to be responsible for turning Christopher to the bottle."

Feb-24-2007 05:10

Well turn me sideways and call me Dolores, turning poor young Christopher to the bottle.

One alchoholic in the agency is already to many I've been told. (hickup)

Is this why my gin has not been as theraputic of late, has someone been replacing it with water?

Roamie opened his brief case and tore a sheet from his Big Chief Tablet. He ripped the top off his black magic marker and wrote in big letters.

"One Opening Left"

Roamie looked at his handywork and taped it to the Application Box.
