:rotfl: the points system at MF!! Yea it seems absolutely no use at all. Proof reader questions have been a bit odd. Asked specifically if items such as "X, Y or Z were mentioned" and then get an email asking me why did I put no... was Y not mentioned?...... No... that's why I picked no! Confused!

I've seen a few jobs needing average 9 for React, but yea 8 and 5 (!!!) seem to crop up mostly so will see what happens next time.

After nine jobs my average with React is 10. Probably won't stay that way for long though. :-O
Did get a comment on one report being incomplete, but the issue was cleared up when I explained that, to the best of my knowlegde, I hadn't submitted it yet since I had only started entering it in parts as I had time on my hands to do it.

The last week of the month always is a bit slow. I seem to use this week to pick up stuff for next month. GFK bank jobs are slowly going down. ESA keep leaving me messages about jobs which are hanging, either need to jack the fee or put it up to reasonable level in the first place. I did the breakdown job for GFK at a motorway service station - not done one of those before. How an earth you are supposed to take a piccy in a confined space of the entrance hall without being picked up and observe for 10 minutes. Who writes these briefs..

Maybe for yourself, but usually not the case for me, usually in December and Jan only.

Had the really El Grande Floorshow at the gypburgers place today. Funny to watch actually. Had to work on keeping my poker face.

The icing on the cake was when I left and I left just after another couple of guest which exited through the left side exit, the manager really had a problem since he had opened and was holding the door for them as I was exiting through the right hand exit. :-D

My MS diary has gone a bit tumbleweedy (apart from a couple of burgers). Partly fussiness over fees, partly just not seeing work, I think.

I still can't believe the complete and utter lack of work where I live. I mean, it's diabolical. There is nothing, absolutely nothing. It's not helping that there appears to be no 'proper' jobs to suit me either. I am going to have to take up busking at this rate!

I've just noticed that a burger I agreed to do this evening (over the phone) is a breakfast visit.

Am I going to have a nightmare submitting the report?

I had to cancel a job with React yesterday, I've got a bad cold/ear infection. I've now noticed there's a "shopper citation" thing on the shop log page, underneath where it says tests & qualifications. Is this bad? Because I had to cancel a shop?

Has anyone done the PIP car audits where you go round overtly taking 'pics' of various areas? It looks relatively straight forward but my guess is that it would take at least an hour on site + going home an uploading numerous pictures and report and would take another hour. The fee seems too low for the work required. Just wondering if anybody else has done this one in the past?

I've done some. They took around 20 minutes each. Don't take long to write up at all, as they send you a booklet to fill in whilst you're on site, and it has a checklist in it to ensure you take the right photographs. The thing that took me the longest was editing the photos, but I think it was less than an hour altogether.

Thanks for that - In principal they looked straightforward, there just seemed a lot of pics to take. They have been lurking on my board for a while and wonder if the fee would go up... Had a real 'mare' with an Assosia merchandise job yesterday and came to the conclusion that their buybacks and overt audits are fine but anything involving my local Mr T, I will skip as take too much time and hanging about waiting for people. The PIP audits look straight forward so may have a bash.
