Does anyone find that certain companies release work over the weekend?

Was your burger place near the cinema? Was kept waiting in a bay for my meal there.

No, the one near Sainsburys. They gave me completely the wrong drink on a drive thru and apparently I should have driven back after leaving to change it. I checked the order was right on the receipt and had a couple of chips in the carpark but apparently you also need to keep the queue waiting and open your cup lid to check the drink is correct and put the lid back on again, place it somewhere safe in the car because you've got no one there to hold it, then drive off.

edited to add - actually, i'm presuming all this as they didn't actually tell me I wasn't being paid for it, I had to find out for myself on my assignments page.

MG, what a lovely thought - bleugh

Just had 2 emails from Abai entitled Bristol assignments - got all excited thinking here we go and it was 2 of the same trying to get me to do petrol where you get a set fee and have to spend 2/3rds of it on petrol in 1 store then drive to another store and buy something small.

Hmmm, I'm looking for jobs but not that one thank you!

They're no where near each other!!

Are there any repercussions for re-arranging the date of a Gap job? I've got a chicken job tomorrow and can't really do it, so want to move it to Monday (which it says I can do.) Just wondered if it was like some of the others where they kick off a fuss...

No there aren't any repercussions. I've had jobs where I've changed the date 5 times without any problems!

Me too! I regularly change the dates. There's a petrol one at the mo that I've put off about 6 times already.

No, not really. I find most companies release most of their work Tues - Thurs. They are the best days. RE are mostly in the evenings.

GROSS! Bad enough it going down the throat ...be dreadful to to have it coming back!

I was eating a Chocolate Brownie when I read that...put me off!

Sorry! I did look at the clock and thought, well it's not lunch time, it's not tea time, but I must have forgotten the afternoon snack time. :eek: You must admit, I said it as politely and cleanly as possible.

If you did the freezer shops for ESA check your pay statement on line as they dont seem to have paid out for the small reimbursement.

Have you rung or emailed them? Just wondering, otherwise I'll do it on Monday.
