[thelist] Joining tables... in MySQL

[Tris]

HERE's my SQL dump...

CREATE TABLE `jobType` (
  `id` int(12) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `name` varchar(100) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL default '',
  `type` tinyint(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  KEY `id` (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin AUTO_INCREMENT=7 ;

-- 
-- Dumping data for table `jobType`
-- 

INSERT INTO `jobType` VALUES (1, 'Design', 0);
INSERT INTO `jobType` VALUES (2, 'Meeting', 0);
INSERT INTO `jobType` VALUES (3, 'PHP', 0);
INSERT INTO `jobType` VALUES (4, 'Downtime', 0);
INSERT INTO `jobType` VALUES (5, 'Copy', 0);
INSERT INTO `jobType` VALUES (6, 'Other', 0);

-- Table structure for table `jobs`
-- 

CREATE TABLE `jobs` (
  `id` int(12) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `user` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  `week` date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00',
  `day` tinyint(3) NOT NULL default '0',
  `jobNo` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  `jobType` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  `hours` tinyint(5) NOT NULL default '0',
  KEY `id` (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin AUTO_INCREMENT=14 ;
