Nope, keep checking, had the email from abai but can't see the jobs. Someone posted earlier that it's a technical problem their end?

Has anyone done any of those financial visits for TN? Just wondered what they were like and what they entail. Thinking of doing one. xx

On a different subject is anyone else having problems accepting assignments for RE? I can do everything else but get Javascript void when I hover over the assignment notes, time, questionnaire etc.. they all open but not the accept assignments.. I've tried on all 3 computers we have.... just trying to ascertain whether its them.. or me....!!! Please... anyone???? I've spoken to them so often they now know me by voice recognition...!!!:rotfl:

It`s not just you!! I have emailed and spoken to several people in the office. The last one I spoke to was tearing her hair out cos of all of the calls. She said they were working on it and just have to keep trying...I can see all the jobs but can`t apply for any. Managed to get one by phoning the office and applying...but that takes longer than FFF and is not possible in the evening!!!
Also have tried on my laptop and still the same! I have have downloaded the new Abode, am well peed of!!!

Thankgoodness (in the nicest possible way of course), I keep getting the java-thingy too and missed out on a supermarket job (again) last night because I couldn't accept it. Hope they sort it out soon.

On the plus side I did 9 jobs yesterday and only one was RE. Wot a difference getting results back, so much speedier and not as much bad language flying around with frustration at their stupid reports....:rotfl:

Rosy swithering isn't particularly a Scottish word. It means similar to dithering ie unable to make up one's mind. Glasgow esp has some fab words though like gallus.!!!Or mokkit!!!

I wouldn't mind if it was the same car in each then I could just swat up on 1 car. I fear I will get all muddled up between cars.

I put notes in my mobile phone and read just before going in to help remember but also there are often opportunities when the go off to "consult" when you can have another quick refresh. I have been known on a less confident day (or just brain dead one) to be blatant and say my husband sent me a message with all the spec and read it in front of them (I can get away with being glaikit (tee hee) being 4'11" and blonde and middle aged too)! Apologies to all because I hate stereotyping and I definitely don't fit that mould and would never describe people as such. I can ACT the part when need be though - something about car sales men that seem to like the ditzy female but I love the surprise when I whittle their profits away!:j

You are right too about cheating. I have to do a revisit recently at an optical shop. Between us the allocator and I couldn't quite believe the cheek of this MS'er. 1) Had "forgotten" to get left and right. Had "forgotten" to take a prescription. Now I have forgotten my precription but the shop can phone your optician and get it faxed within 2 minutes so that isn't an excuse. We suspect this MS'er and I use the term loosely..merely phoned the shop to get a name for the report. And ordered the specs online and picked them up locally.
Thankfully this company removed her from their database and witheld the fee. Quite right too.
Being nosy how do you MS a MS'er. By doing it over again.

Have been sent like you to reassess a suspect report and also do jobs same as on same day as someone. I have been MSing long time and used to work years ago in retail and also Public Services and occasionally an opinion/clarification would be sought. There are a few ways but I don't think agencies would like them discussed so I will remain :silenced:

Suffice to say to anyone thinking of falsifying reports it would lead to being thrown off the books and whilst that someone might gain money for a while I reckon they would be sussed out eventually and have to pay the money back and leave themselves open to prosecution for fraud.


Apologies for the rosy reply but Hollypear pinched my violet!:p

p.s translations please for gallus and mokkit!

Boo, I didn't see any supermarket jobs
For some reason I can accept jobs with RE on my laptop at home but have problems on the works computer. The only reason I can think of is that I use internet explorer 8 at home and I think the works computer is on 6 or 7. Don't know if this makes a difference?
Got a Spanish job through RE tonight. Yum, yum.
