Computer really mad! Triple quote. Sorry!

I'm still in MS Infancy, but I can see things have quietened down this week in particular. If you were up for a burger or two, then you'd be alright, but quite frankly - I'd rather not!

Just have to keep our eyes peeled I suppose. Would like to see a few more jobs pop up on Gkf as really enjoyed the last one I did for them. And my new found favourite - petrol on aba-i!!!!!

I've got two jobs booked for this weekend (managed to get them to coincide) but that's about it.

Fingers crossed for some big uploads today!?

I figure i'm one of the lucky ones - I have a few jobs lined up, but only 2 more for this week. I think that because i'm young I get quite lucky with the TNS jobs which are sooooo easy - shame I don't drink though but it'll make for a great Christmas party!!
Hopefully some more uploads today though

Yeah I'm anxiously waiting for my application result from TNS - I'm quite young (and quite young looking!) so will hopefully pick up a few of those jobs. And I do drink - which would be very handy!

I haven't been ID'd in such a long time - I think it's because I buy things like tea bags and cat food whilst I buy any alcohol and they must thing I'm older than my years!!!! "She drinks tea and has a cat, she couldn't possibly be underage..."

Not much lined up here for me either but then this time last month I was the same and have had such a great month this month ! Got two bank jobs for GFK, pub drink at the weekend and 2 regular monthly jobs for friday and saturday night , then just one job for July....

Absolutely NOTHING in my diary! :eek: Am getting a bit worried actually as (reading between the lines) I missed the TNS fast supermarkets, and I suspect RE have had some wine shops that I missed (and I was soooooo looking forward to getting one of those!), and I missed the Gap pizza, and basically I just never seem to be here when the jobs are released... plus there don't seem to be as many jobs around. Except GfK of course - loads of phonecalls that I won't do because they are recorded (just too much hassle with my dodgy phone), and I see that horrible audit is still available. Seriously beginning to wonder if and when I'll pick up another job!

Thanks guys. Feel a little better. Things do dip but I've only had a handful of jobs this month in total.

Fingers crossed for uploads!

I thought it was a quiet month too, but looking back it's not been too bad, just that my jobs have all been odd ones rather than grabbing a load at once, if you know what I mean. Hopefully the July jobs will start being released soon and things will pick up.

On the positive side I had my first phone call from GAP offering a chicken job for tonight (I guess someone's cancelled it as it wasn't showing online). From the knowledge of this thread I said it would be inconvenient and they offered me a small supermarket too, which is great as I need some milk and stuff.

A question - I did 3 jobs for GR and have only been paid for 2 of them. The one I've not been paid for is still showing as pending, however this was done a week before the two ?I got paid for. Is this normal or does it mean something is wrong? (Typically the "missing" payment is the biggest of the three!)

Me too. The 1st job I ever did for them back in May has still not been paid, but the next 6 have. They told me that its because different jobs get collated at different times.
