Nice work :T

I picked up a couple of fillers from RE yesterday and they were through pending and onto the payment due 25/01 within 30 minutes of submitting them. Makes a nice change.
One of the pictures I uploaded was awful; blurred and too far away and I added a comment apologising for the poor quality. Still approved though. Weird!

It's the double standards, inconsistencies and pointless queries that makes RE a laughing stock and easy target for abuse on forums, bu they deserve it:rotfl:

I had an idea for getting xmas money sorted for 2012.

I'm consistently knocking out between 2 and 6 eDigital jobs a week at the moment which I tend to do in the evenings before winding down after all my other MS reports are finished.
I send the invoice on the 1st of each month.
Since I am completely useless at saving money - if I put it in the bank it invariably comes out and gets wasted - my idea was to save up all my eDigital work till November and then send in one monster invoice.

So, since I can't find the information on their website (ironic), my question is; Does anybody know if they have a maximum I can hold on account or will they automatically pay out when it hits a certain figure.

Just stick it in it's own bank account and forget about it until Nov. It's never a good idea to let invoicing slip, no company is that safe atm.

I've got one tomorrow although at one of their partner stores. Although i'm most likely their target age i'm at a loss what I am meant to ask in regards to a branded t shirt....

I picked one up to do this week. I would just ask if they have any 'a**d*s originals' or 'n**e' t-shirts in stock. have a look pick a couple up try one on.

As it says on the brief have a look on their website so you are at least familiar with what they sell. I cant stress how important it is whether the brief tells you to or not. Its what normal customers do, and thats what were posing as!!:o

Last question - at least for the time being! I sent an email late on Thursday to the lady at the fleece company, saying that I would not be able to continue as I wasn't getting the briefs early enough, meaning on the first day I'd set up the wrong planogram in one store as the revised one had not been sent to me until after I'd had to go out - upon accepting the job, I'd told her that I have a regular day job in the afternoon, so would have to go out in the morning. I didn't mention on the email, but was also annoyed that from reading on here, other people received their updates the evening before, so why not me?

I should add that I didn't commit to these jobs long-term, just for last week and see where we went from there. I ended on a polite note, saying that I hoped to work with her and the company on other projects in the future. As she didn't reply, or otherwise appear to take the hint to just send out the documentation to me earlier, do I assume she's now found someone else to do the stores? Can't say I'm gutted if she has, but a response acknowledging my email would've been nice.

any one doing the ims hotel audits ?
briefs are now in... seems a lot of info required and i think will take longer than the revised expected period ... no surprise there then...
pre phone calls are also compulsory.. and worth it i think too

I PMd the board guide and asked on Friday. I'm sure they'll get to it.

Just because they're being @rsey towards me this weekend!

Example:
Q: How long did you have to wait before being served?
A: 00m:00s (selected using drop-down boxes)

Query: Please confirm exactly how long you had to wait to be served.

My answer: I didn't wait at all, hence the time stated of 00m:00s.

There have been others but you've all had them so I won't bore you.

I actually think that's a valid clarification for them TBH. If you look at it from their point of view as you did not put any time in there at all it does look like you may have missed it, so worth them clarifying it with you

The thing is, the drop down boxes are set to "N/A" by default so I had to physically select "00" for both the minutes and seconds - its not like I just left it as it was.

I know but even so it’s still easy to select 00:00 in error, it’s always worth working in to at least one of the answers the actual time you waited, not that this will stop them asking but at least you can point to it and say please see “answer XX”.
