02/08 - What a Cold Wednesday!

I've been ignoring it. Probably not a good idea, but living in a city, we don't loose power since everything's underground, we've got food in the freezer/fridge. Hubby's bringing home his laptop so he can telecomute. Hopefully ignoring it won't come back to screw me, but it's just so nice out right now, I can't fathom a foot of snow this time tomorrow.

 

Is it just me or have there been more and more surveys with no code, but it's still asked for?

 

Maybe everyone's following the same broken template.

 

husband came home with a snack for himself (bloody mary mix) and a surprise (GIRL SCOUT COOKIES )
I married smart.

And how do we not have drooling smiley with the amount of food talk we have around here @ChrisTurk??

 

Been a survey heavy week for me and I havent had any without a code that should have had one

 

Doesn't make a bit of sense how nice it is out today. But yeah, might be 6-10 or 8-12 depending on what you watch. At least you don't have to travel.

 

I've had at least 3 a day, but no rejects so far so I guess I'm fine.

 

It's ok, Hubby cancelled the snow storm by remembering to bring in the car cleaning scraper from the car. Murphy's Law states the snow will not happen now.

 

I did that earlier. OMG it was pure torture.

woah! I are one fart smeller!

hmmm...not sure I said that right....

 

Have you spilled anything on it recently? I'm thinking the electrical contacts (the stuff that lets the signal from each key reach the computer) are screwy. Maybe try AutoHotKey to fix it?

 

Random question of the day: Would you guys put MTurk on a resume, especially if you're looking for IT related jobs, and how would you best word what you do? I feel like it could be something great to add, but I'm struggling to put it into specific words for a resume.

 

someone put this on another forum a few weeks ago

"Perform a variety of cloud-based tasks including transcription, data entry, content moderation, data mining, and product inventory categorization."
