Just noticed that 4 of my TNS phone visits are back on the jobboard - does that mean I did it wrong?

just looked and three of the ones I did are back up again. Don't think it can be to do with me as I got an email last night as my results had corrupted and I had to do them again (fun evening) so they can't have looked at them yet I shouldn't think. Maybe there's some that need recording?

The jobs have been a bit muddled from the beginning - I had jobs allocated, taken away, the number you could do kept changing, I got called about not having submitted my recording when it was a report only job etc. Am not counting on seeing anythung at the end of it tbh and will feel like a bonus if I do.

Ohhh the irony of taking a gap call as you're eating a gapburger in your car and them asking you how you are. Hahaha. 'Well, I'm eating a gapburger, how do you think I am?' ... straightforward stationery shop visit, and I got some sellotape ready for Christmas with my purchase so all good there!

Bit concerned though as I was told there would be an extra £2.50 premium on the phone, this was yesterday lunchtime and it still hasn't been added. I emailed them and received no reply yet, which is also a bit unusual. I've always had the phone premiums added the same night and a response from email fairly quickly...

They are generally VERY good at adding the premiums... I wouldn't worry too much.

Gap stationary?

Give them till 8 tonight then just fire off a few emails. They do usually reply, eventually. If not, wait for your next booty call and tell them then.
A lot of people hate Gap, but I've had no bother yet and find them pretty good.

And speaking of timing. I remember doing a load of shops in a town one day and at dinner time started wishing I had a burger job. Then on the way back to the car I got a booty call with a huge premium for a place just round the corner. Result!! Full belly, bigger pay packet.

Does anyone know which firms are paye? My friends wants to give it a try. But on paye to see how he gets on before going down the S/E router thanks

Why don't you give him the paperwork for a few jobs and let him try it out for himself. That'll confuse the sales assistants.

Mmm, that's been my experience in the past, usually been the same day though. Thanks.

I can't remember what the code is! It's not gap stamp shops... it's like, the gap couriers. Or something. I dunno! You have to go in and make an enquiry about sending stuff abroad and then buy some stationery.

Do you get the emails? I got an email about the latest film a few days ago, you can simply reply to their emails and indicate which cinema you can do and your field rep ID and a contact email/number to reach you on. On the past two occasions, they've simply emailed back to confirm they've allocated it and then you download the paperwork from the website.

No, I haven't had an email from them since the initial "thanks for signing up" one. I'll check my account settings with them, maybe I've checked a box asking them not to email me or something.

If anyone is looking for an assignment in Grimsby on the React job board take a look in Lancashire. Apparently, it has now moved! :rotfl:

If I remember rightly, I rang them and left a message on their answerphone saying that I could do a certain cinema the first time.

I didn't receive a phone call in return but I did receive an email confirming the assignment and, from then on, I've received emails every time a trailer check comes up.

Doubt it my love. I got an email saying my reports had been done really well (God knows how, it took me forever going back and forth linking this to that and what not). Mine are all on there.

To be fair, I don't think any of the staff were briefed properly about what we were asking about. I got told in each store I did that the thing we were asking about was absolutely carp! Me thinks everyone has been re-trained and we are going to see if any difference has been made. HTH.
