    Oh my goodness who's turn is it to pick up the spoon and feed the newbie!
    I'm thinking if we all had this amount of time to ask and answer questions none of us would have time for MSing!
    Please, please do some jobs and work that way what the pay is, what the best jobs are and if you are suited to MSing. Its how most of us learn and we are very supportive but none of us can tell you if you will like/be good at/make money from MSing. We are all self employed tarts that sell ourselves to the highest bidder but most of us will sell ourselves to any bidder and find out the hard way.
    Sorry for the rant but I've reached my limit.:mad:
    Well said - I've admired your patience this far!

    How many MS have you slept with? :-p
    When I say we are tarts I don't mean we sell our bodies I mean we sell our experience and expertise. Some of us (strange I know) actually get a kick out of doing a good job and being rewarded for it. We like to know we can make a difference to the levels of customer service people receive through people taking our opinions and observations seriously.
    I think what is p*ssing me off with all your questions is so far it seems you haven’t yet done one job. Please feel free to take the plunge with 5 jobs in 5 hours every day for the next week then come back and share your experience with us all and we will be more supportive than you could imagine. However being on here asking endless questions that would get you endless different answers is not the way to know if you are suited to MSing or if MSing is suitable to you and is not is not getting you nearer to your goal.
    Couldn't think of anything witty to say so just keeping the space until I can :(

    This evening at 9.54pm a job for a company came up, I was asked to do it. I accepted it, I just thought but they were closed even when the job went up?! So I emailed them to see if they want me to do it tomorrow, what are the chances? :S

    CLIENT NAME!!

    Generally if the client is ok with it being done a different day rescheduling a late pick up job is fine with them.

    If its RE, despite being a pain at times when it comes to doing jobs released at the last moment they're pretty good - of course it does depend if the contact picks up their email but if they dont they'll probably offer you other dates later in the week when they come in on monday.

    Interesting. So if I do one job and then just every survey I would be offered more jobs?
