Thank you again. I don't mind writing detailed narratives at all. However, I always feel silly when 2-3 sentences are expected and I write 2-3 paragraphs....
Hotel Shops: The scheduler made it sound like their hotels are something that I can incorporate easily into a route (i.e. I don't have to spend all day at the hotel.) Is this accurate?

I have just taken a shop with A Closer Look that is completely not part of what I normally do - a grocery shop. However, the scheduler promised that I would see "more shops" than I currently see as soon as I successfully completed one shop for them. She also said that the more I complete, the more shops I will have available to me. She said that I will eventually become eligible to do their hotels shops, which would be useful for my overnight routes. However, I was not able to pin her down for how many shops I would need to successfully complete in order to have their hotel shops open to me. (Is it five? Fifty? A hundred? A thousand?)
Does anybody have insight into this? I don't mind doing a handful of shops that don't fit into my wheelhouse to "move up the ladder" with them. However, I do like to know the rules.

They don’t take me too long but writing 6 to 8 sentences about a section with just two questions can be difficult. Even the the five to seven sentence sections are hard enough. I just try to write really short sentences to describe what occurred but it’s a challenge to not repeat myself. They even tell you to not describe anything that is beyond the scope of the questions in each section.

Good Lord.
If it's the same one that I do in So Cal, stick to the format. They want 5-7 sentences in a section, for example. That's all they want. Don't go crazy. I practically write those narratives in bullet-point format.
15 minutes tops. Don't over think them. There's no bonus if you write 12 sentences when they ask for 5.
If Jim is your editor, I think he can edit a good report in 5 minutes or less.
