I’m on holiday, and out of nowhere I get a message via WhatsApp….

I already have a job, working in IT for a big educational institution, and although I'm not paid to provide support out of hours, I have a very good working relationship with members of faculty, so I don't mind helping them if they need it. They frequently travel, and it's not always possible to speak during UK office hours. I got this random message via What'sApp earlier on – it looked for all the world like an SOS from a colleague, but no – turns out a nation-wide recruitment agency have scraped my number from somewhere and want me to consider a second job, in my spare time. WTF??! I've got a full-time job, a toddler to look after, all sorts of other commitments, why are they interrupting my holiday with this?! And why won't they take 'no thank you' as an answer?
