Morning shoppers!

Got a busy day today, 2 electrical shops and a toy store before watching the big footy match then a chicken and petrol job later.

Not much booked in after today though

Oh regarding payments from BARE, is it sent by BACS on the 22nd or should it hit my account on the 22nd? I'm due quite a bit from them this month

The teenagers sitting next to me were mighty confused when the burger manager asked them if they were all ok, and if there was anything the place could have done better for their nest visit.

I must have been wearing my MS T shirt - I was offered a receipt without asking.

Good luck! Is it your first video work?

I've got a day off. I spent the whole of yesterday out doing work so this is my weekend.

Aahhhh, having yet another panic. All I seem to be doing is asking question after question here. But then I guess that is part of what this thread is for. Am just about to go out, when I remembered I had a small supermarket job to do later for TNS and I haven't looked through the briefing notes yet. Must be more organised I know, but anyway...
Have just logged into TNS, and I can get onto the reporting link, but it says at the bottom that by viewing that page it means I have already received the workpack. So I don't want to go any further incase that would mean I couldn't see the workpack again (not that I've seen it in the first place!)
I''m sure that as usual I'm missing something blatently obvious, but I don't know what???!!!???

I think you can view the briefing notes as much as you like
they wont go anywhere xD

Yes, I see now that I needed to go into the reporting link and the notes and questionnaire etc was there. Was just double checking, and probably panicing more because I was in a hurry. Which now it turns out I needn't have been anyway!!
Am gradually getting jobs from the different companies, and once I've donte my first one for each company I feel much better about knowing what I'm doing!!
In the mean time you will just have to put up with my endless questions!

Does anyone else find it REALLY annoying when a job suddenly appears, which is obviously a cancellation, for a shop you've BEEN to the previous day and could easily have done?

In the past 10 days I have actually been in an RE underground sandwich store in Chelmsford and the watery-earth in Bromley, and the next day seen a job pop up on RE for the day I was there! And just now, the posh sarnie store in Bluewater - which I havent seen on RE for months and months - has popped up and I was there Friday and could have SO easily done it!

I think in future, when I go somewhere and I'm not MS-ing it, I'm going to "dummy MS" it, get the staff names, take the photos etc, then if the job is released I have all the info!

BUT WHY DO PEOPLE ACCEPT JOBS AND THEN RELEASE THEM THE DAY AFTER THEY ARE DUE? SO VERY ANNOYING!!!

It happens to me too! I'm going to fake MS everything now too. Great idea!
