The new agent is a puzzle. They've got a lot of very well known clients and I can't see what Jack brings to the party. My best guess is they owed Rosemary some sort of favour.
The premise of the grifty book seems to be devising complicated, potentially expensive and dangerous ways of performing simple tasks which normally need inexpensive safe tools eg tin openers and rags.
How marvellously useful and helpful.
They appear to be an agency specialising in after dinner/corporate speaking events hence the real breadth of roster. I believe this means she no longer has a literary/brand/tv work agent, she only has that speaking head agent. Appears to be an attempt to pivot now she’s burnt all those bridges
If the jars are clear, surely unless you're making food on a near commercial scale, you'd just remember what was in them/failing that see it, and could write down when they were made on a piece of paper if the inventory looked a bit like tescos fridges in terms of scale? I cooked a meat joint last night. I don't need to write on the plate. I'll remember when I made it by tomorrow when I finish it. And I don't even have a jar for it.Wtf how are oven gloves on the second list of things to add in the future yet a permanent marker and jars of assorted sizes made it to the must haves?
Ps I don't even own an egg circle thing and I don't intend to buy or make one from sharp tins and a belt sander. Nobody has ever looked me in the whites of my eyes and said the wavey egg I have made them is insufficient proof of my status as a heater up of food to avoid bacterial and viral illness.
They've not even added her to the website. I wonder if they're just doing this book because Rosemary SNAPPED and then will softly, gently drop her.They appear to be an agency specialising in after dinner/corporate speaking events hence the real breadth of roster.

Trying to catch up while winding down in bed, but ending up winding up instead!
Reading a Jack tweet has sent my head in a spin.
She has applied for "innumerable" entry level jobs that would pay more than what she earns right now. She clearly hasn't been successful in any of these applications...
She is actually telling half a million followers that every employer thinks she is unemployable. She's telling everyone that all the charities she has supported over the years can't find her a position, though they have hundreds of paid emloyees. They don't want her.
She is so bad that not a single person will give her a job. Not even McDonalds, not even a supermarket, not even a pub or bar. NOT A SINGLE EMPLOYER.
I would be embarrassed to admit that, but she writes as though it's everyone else's fault, rather than her own ineptitude.

Are egg rings required by law in the UK? Will the coppers run you in if you cook your eggs freeform? Because I'm pretty sure we can get by without them.
Hm. I thought the marker was to number jar and lid to match them up because "mismatched lids can lead to food spoilage" (loose paraphrase). Followed immediately by a tip to use a piece of paper as a substitute for a missing lid.
I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face over the egg rings.
It's blowing my mind. You've no tin opener so you'll need two knives and a mallet to get both ends of the can off.
I will hold my hands up and say I hadn't heard of an egg ring before tonight. Literally just living my life, undisturbed, fully unaware of the existence of egg rings.

Oh no. I've just realised we have TWO EGG RINGS. I'm so sorry 
.
.I'll be honest now, I didn't bother to read why jars or pens or home made sharp egg shapers were needed. If you've taken the time to read it, I bow to your superior levels of patience and dedication to finish a task you start. I mean that genuinely.
Either way. My stuff is in the fridge. Unaffected by hand cut tins. I'll take my chances just safely cooking and reheating food. If i haven't got the tools to make a particular meal, and can't improvise, I'll just buy and eat something else to be honest. I'm not bringing an axe into the house to cut fresh pineapple, I'll just buy it in a tin.
From feisty, battlefield- ready Barbie Jack to little Mx Sunshine in 3, 2, 1…. My head is spinning.
Matt Gloss must have been back in touch, making her feel softly, gently, painstakingly better.
What a melt!

I've managed to wangle myself a fish slice from the last list, guess I'm not as much of a povvo as I thought I wasWtf how are oven gloves on the second list of things to add in the future yet a permanent marker and jars of assorted sizes made it to the must haves?
So that's why WE can't have one? Because other people have two.Oh no. I've just realised we have TWO EGG RINGS. I'm so sorry
I'm joking. Don't want one. If I want a round egg I'd do 4 in the pan together so it was giant and round.
A plate on top of a bowl does the trick in the fridge. No need for a kamillion jars or sharpies or spending hours matching lids to jars.
All I’ve really got from her rants today is that she’s blaming Twitter for not being able to do her “job”.
Like this -
... and that whole rant to Elon Musk. Which really irritated me, she really thought she was doing something, but the whole tone of it was so smug.

Yeah - did rosemary just pay them a fee to process the complaints short term
? Amazing she got someone of Rosemary calibre to start with - I think they all had middle class guilt or 
experiences to cover up like Nigella
I have several empty jars For making marinades and sauces. If I get the wrong lid, I try a different one. But typically, they live in the cupboard with their lids on until I need them so the lids don’t get mixed up. #crapjackhacks
