    I've had a lot of work from ESA and had the odd query but I must admit I don't like their attitude when they ask you to do a job urgently!

    ME either, the guy who called me was rude I said I could only do the job the day after he said he would get back to me but by the time he did it was too late I accepted another job.. and he then called me 2000000 times!!

    Does anyone know with RE I have just seen a bunch of points added on for reports but they are still pending payment wise?

    Also, I saw -1 for a proofreading query however I have not had a query?

    I have the same thing, assignments pending payment that have been allocated points and one that has had 2 points deducted, but no query showing in messages :(. Don't know what's going on.

    They are backlogged.

    I had points deducted Saturday but the query only turned up today. I rang to ask as it seemed odd to get the responce it's because they are busy.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    Sorry to ask again but are the watches self assign on Esa.

    No they are not. They have to be allocated.

    I'd not heard of the shop before and the reimbursement looked excellent but most things in the shop cost a lot more than reimbursement. The cheapest watch was double the reimbursement and the nicer ones were around three times as much.

    They had some jewellry which was around the reimbursement level. I bought myself a lovely sterling silver necklace for a couple of quid more than the reimbursement, so I was happy with that.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Sorry to ask again but are the watches self assign on Esa. They phoned me up for a job last week but I could not do it at all. I am now wondering if they have taken my self assign away (but the shops they wanted me to do where a good hour plus drive each way but the person was not happy that I was not willing to do them. I tried to explain that I had to be at the children's school that afternoon). I just want to know whether they are punishing me for declining their work.

    I am suspicious of this as well, they phoned me last week or the week before to do two urgent chemists that I could not do with the time restrictions so I explained this and the guy sounded ok on the phone.

    However I have since tried to apply for a job with them, which seems to say it was self assign, did not self assign for me and needless to say went from my "pending" section or whatever they call it.

    I called them back twice on Monday but there was never anyone available to speak to me, I then got loads of calls but couldn't answer them as I was in work!

    What are the REACT ice-cream jobs like? Easy, reasonable questionnaire?
    Had an email about an urgent one 1 mile from home but wondering if worth going Saturday night.

    oh and mega annoyed the other night. Some donut released a job I reserved with AbAi at 1am - so guess who got an email about it AT 1AM??? :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I leave my mobile on vibrate at night for emergencies so wasn't happy when it buzzed, thinking it was family in trouble or something and then to see it was that!

    The person must have then got it back again just to give themselves more time and now they've released it again!
