Did a vitamins and supplements shop for RE today. The receipt came out very faded. As soon as I uploaded it, got a proofreading query on it. I emailed the RE contact explaining the situation. What do the proofreading team expect me to do? Go back and demand a better printed receipt? !!!!!!!

Also, did a cookies visit today and the skanky assistant was playing with his cap all over the cookies. I almost threw up there and then! Needless to say cookies all went in the bin and I gave a bad report. How unhygienic!

aarrggghh, just been offered 5 x the usual fee for each of two jobs tomorrow and I can't fit them in! Never been offered that much before, is that a normal incentive for last minute bank jobs?

Yes, if last minute. I got asked to do one today about an hour away. it was already 2pm, and had school pick up to do at 3. I told the guy this, and he said I can offer you an excellent fee, I told him not possible this time, otherwise my children may be taken away from me due to negligence!!

I had this "are you sure you have done the correct store" - er yeh! They are either being mighty picky this time or think we are downright liars!:cool: I have had a couple cold ones returned this time, but as yet havent been back to re-do because I want to see what the outcome is on all sections - no point going back 2 or 3 times. Is that what you're doing?

Yeah... though I haven't actually managed to upload any of the other pics yet as the links aren't there. No way I'm attempting to email all those photos unless I really have to. I emailed last night to query and still no reply so at the moment they are just sitting on my hard drive! I have replied to the crisp query (what do they want me to do?! No point going back anyway as the photos would be exactly the same!).

2 of my stores are in the next big town and not 24 hour stores... so if I do have to go back it will have to wait till later in the week.

I dread to think how much time I've spent on these jobs... not exactly a moneyspinner(!) but every little helps at the moment...

Try popping a Polaroid sunglasses lens over the camera lens and rotating it until the glare goes. That gives you autofocus problems though.

Not sure I could manage that without looking suspicious ... I was feeling conspicuous enough whipping out my mobile phone - think if I got the zoom lens out and stuck my sunnies in front, they'd definitely be escorting me off the premises

Might be worth doing for the not-so-undercover ones though!!!

Anyone know how long it takes from registration to being able to see assignments? Referred a friend and they have filled in all of their details and filled in the profile but it still shows no assignments available - but I see available ones on my account.
