text: Joe: oh wise sir David, decipher this for me
  Joe: a company replied that they're not recruiting a copywriter, yet they asked me for samples
  Joe: what does it mean?
  David: they may have plans to recruit some in the future and are building a database of capable people
  David: to make it easier for them when they will need to do it
  Joe: that would actually make sense
  Joe: every place that doesn't give me an outright STOP, gets a polite reply from me, trying to initiate negotiations :D
  David: are you planning to send them some samples?
  Joe: already sent my portfolio + a brochure I wrote texts for
  Joe: I've actually done paid copywriting :D 
  Joe: but it took some digging to locate the finished product
  David: you paid so you can do copywriting? :P
  Joe: Haha, no!
  David: I know, that was a joke :P
  Joe: I'm frustrated and trying to work on some stuff and it drains all my sense of humor :(
  David: that's a bad sing, humor is the best shield against all the shit life is throwing at you
target: Joe applied for a position of a copywriter, but the company is not recruiting now. He sent them his portfolio and a brochure.
