Nope, mine just loaded up straight away.

The RA station reports are a killer aren't they? And I have 7 more reports to do for them tomorrow! :eek:

Just have some stock phrases in Word that I copy, paste and edit as needed, some of the stuff is mind numbing if you let it get to you, I've 6 tomorrow plus a MS station assessment, 4 RM small supermarkets, MF phonecalls and a TNS quickie, some day off for me...

The upside is lots of chocolate, a tie, female stocking fillers and a pasty for me.

Eek! Friday's my busy day - 19 visits mimi style! Posh chocolates, children's toys and stocking fillers as well as station visits for breakfast and lunch (ooh, and cookies for that mid afternoon pick me up )

Can't say I'm looking forward to the reports - I have writers block at the minute and I only had 4 visits today :eek:

Don't mind them so much, better than they were. Only problem is finding so many words to write about a seating area, or about a kiosk!
Sheesh!

As BG said, copy and paste. I now have a little notepad on my computer with all the headings and paragraphs which I then edit. It's a bit of a headache this time round as some of the visits have been appalling and some fabulous, so have to double check before submitting.

Bloody hell, did a mammoth shop-athon in Manchester today. I am now the proud owner of even more sexy toys from the sexy shops, thanks to RE (how do you keep a straight face doing these visits, I had a sweet looking mos talking about rude things and she was blushing profusely and I was biting my lip to stop from loling in her face), I have gifts from just about every shop at the train station, an Italian takeaway and a Chinese takeaway, shed loads of outdoor things from outdoors shops thanks to React, and I am sure they must think I need help as I did about every single phone shop in the main shopping centre. Don't you just love it when you do a GFK phone shop and they don't want to help you at all and more or less throw you out after 1 minute

5 reports done, only another 15 to go!

Not too bad around Christmas time though if you do a load of phone shops, as everyone wants a bargain, so you don't look like too much of a nut bag haha! On my last train station report now, just a couple of quick supermarkets to input, then a couple of jobs at the weekend.
Always starts slowing down even more now over Christmas, so happy days to the bonus jobs they want done before the jolly hols.

The quickies are still going, the latest wave started on Monday, the electricals have just been done. The main supermarkets look like they are not being done at the moment, I would doubt they will go to another MSC as TNS does cart loads of work for that client.

Can't say I'd miss them, far too much work for little reward.

try doing a fruity phone shop for ESA where they just will not sell you a fruity phone and actively refuse to demo it.
