    BTW (and apologies for potentially opening an old wound Mimi ) has anyone else had an email from GAP regarding using tablets for audits?

    I have. I am..... unsure.

    :think:

    Editing to add; I did 4 of the station jobs last month. I just stood there and took the photos :D -- there's really no way to be completely subtle about it but no-one bothered me. I thought the reports were an absolute pain though, so I've not picked up any this time round. However someone else (can't remember who) did loads last month and I remember reading that they thought they were OK so it's probably just me being grumpy.

    Seems an odd way of doing things!
  • It does seem a little odd.

    Mind you, if I sit down and work out who I get the best paid, steadiest, easiest work from, Gap are actually right up there by the time I take bonuses into account. So I'll wait and see if they explain it a bit more.

    I'm curious to know more re the tablets, has anyone responded yet?

    Anyone think this could be an april fools thing?
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    I got the email from gap - not sure about it either. Will have a think about it.

    I replied saying yes, but will decide once I see what it's all about. I did wonder about an April Fool's but they are in Australia and it's tomorrow now there :)

    Catalyst - late payers or what?

    I'm starting to get ****ed off with them, I did two "urgent" jobs for them and now they drag their heels paying.

    So how much work have we all for next week?

    I'm away on Thursday for the holidays but I've got TNS syndicated, RA stations and supermarkets, TNS fast supermarkets, MF phonecalls and bookies and a Service Measure dinner to squeeze in. With a REACT attraction visit while we are away.

    Possible me, once you got round the stupid way the reports were laid out they were fine though, three will get me breakfast, coffee and a magazine and I'll be passing through anyway.

    With RA, is the 3 station visits set in stone or do they let you do more if you contact them? I'm totally new to them, so have no idea how they work.

    Set in stone until they can't fill them, then they ring/email around, I did three in three different stations last wave, I just had to avoid the ones I did when choosing these ones.

    Whooooooooooooops - Everyone mentioning how many TNS fast supermarkets to do have just reminded me I was meant to do one today.
    Can't believe I forgot :o
    Think it's probably because I've not been doing much work lately since having the baby other than a few regular audits, so I'm not as organised with it all. As I used to be doing much more I would always be checking the diary, planning what I was doing when etc, whereas as I'm not picking much up at the moment, I don't have to do all that. Better give them a buzz and apologise and see if there's another day they want me to do it.
