    I phoned RM immediately on receiving an email to find that the 5 jobs I could do had gone.

    RM do have a knack of having favourites. I can remember when I was "special" and they used to give me everything and then some. They would call me back after numerous allocations and give me bigger circuits. These days I get nothing at all. Looks like someone else is "special" near me. Regarding the email, they might have saved them for someone "special" in your area.

    Tip for GR, check just after 9am every morning and you can swipe some visits. I have been getting 1 a day for the last few days.

    Got my first ever floor show at an ABAI cafe today. Guess it was obvious as I was the only one under 60! Oh well. It's all good.

    Has anyone done the test centres ?. I got my first one coming up and was wondering if the test actually takes a full hour or if i have to drag it out really slow . Bit nervous for this one so any tips will be great.

    Pretty sure I got sussed today. Only too late right at the end of the visit so they couldn't do anything to save themselves!

    Had to ask the same assistant 4/5 different things -_- She happened to be the one nearest me at the beginning, the one who I first bumped into after venturing out of the changing rooms to try and find someone to ask if something fitted alright and then she served me.

    Felt sooo awkward. Plus that shop took double the time it should have due to lack of being approached by the assistants... so annoying :P Missed the train back by 2 minutes.

    On the upside new jumper yay.

    Update: Just done the report. Expecting my first proofreading query...

    I did a gyp burger visit once and noticed a sticker on the staff side of the till saying something along the lines of "If any customer asks for a receipt tell a manager IMMEDIATELY!" Needless to say I got a floor show that day.

    Did you include that in your report?

    Had a fun day today, was about to start into my phonecalls for Bare when I get a call telling me the missus was rushed into hospital as her blood pressure was way up. Thank god she's fine now but naturally any thought of MS went out the window, anyone know how flexable they can be on these phone calls in terms of times etc?
