  • Who writes the questionnaires? This is a quote from a react one that I have just done. "Was the floor clean or swept? If not, why not?". I am going to sack this company shortly.

    I had one like that from REACT yesterday, terrible use of double negatives! IT said:

    No other problem? Yes or no

    In the end I answered no, but I don't know if that was right. What's the betting I get a proof-reading query?!?!

    Yes it is but it is hard find an item to give exact change without carrying every domination possible

    Its not that hard. All you need are 4 pound coins, 1 50p, 1 20p, 1 10p, 1 5p, 2 2ps and 1 1p Then you've got right up to £4.99 covered and any combination.

    I always have tons of copper so its a good way to get rid of it.

    That doesn't add up to 4.99 :rotfl:

    Just told ESA in no uncertain terms to STOP ringing me every day/ multiple times per day. I told them that nothing has changed since yesterday and I still won't be taking any of their jobs. Idiots.

  • To lighten the mood on Friday afternoon I thought I would share an excerpt from an assignment email I received.

    "We have been asked to visit some of the retail stores to assess staff performance and knowledge in the bedroom department. No purchase is necessary."

    I took a pass :rotfl:

    Yep - I have had daily calls from ESA, TNS on their phone shops and ABAI for some garage I did miles away on the way to footy game, and too far to return to.


    On the point of Abai petrol stations - not done or a while but they seemed to have added a 'bulky' item on top of all the caf! stuff you have to buy. If they add any more, I might as well do my weekly shop in there...
  • My ESA summer phone jobs are now ok for pay FINALLY after being on pending validation since June.
  • To show that there is no sense in this world. I tried to sign up for TNS and apparently, I failed the induction test, no feedback as to why of course. Oh well! I am signed up with 10 other companies and that one fails me. I am sure that must mean something.

    I find getting a bottle of juice seems to satisfy this requirement, and often either the 500ml bottles of coke or pepsi are on offer and never had this questioned...
