I'm alive, or something resembling alive at least. Surgery went well and they think they got all the infected bone out, there is a little infection left in surrounding tissues so no sutures yet. I wouldn't say it is great, but I could feel worse. Thank you to those who wished me well and once the prosthetic and teeth are in I'll post a pic....I don't have the guts to put one today.

Glad it all went ok! rest up!

Our desperation is so bad we managed to completely crash the OCMP servers.

Good work, team.

I need to make enough this week to pay some shit, and get our Etsy idea going...
So if the Turkfairies could like, get off their asses...that'd be great.

Whats your etsy idea?

 

[electrolyte]

Why is it that when I'm super motivated, there's nothing to work on but when I'm feeling lazy, all the HITs post?

 

[MirrorMan]

Well as I said, for well over a year straight on the old site you could count on good hit's being dropped from 9am est until 1pm. Now I'm hearing about zoltars dropping really early in the morning and it seems as though the tides have changed in regard's to when there is a steady flow of decent HIT's dropping.

It really depends on what your definition of "decent HITs" are. It's pretty subjective around here. There are a lot of people that do just surveys, some that can't stand surveys, some people like repetitive tasks that require little effort for little pay, some like batches, etc, etc. I have found that, in my opinion, it is good to be adaptable and understand that it isn't going to be gangbusters on HITs I prefer doing everyday. I have had days where I hit my goal in three hours and I have had days where it took much much longer. You just have to be willing to search out what best works for you and your goals in the time you have allotted for yourself. I was gone for nearly a year, and picked up right where I left off as far as my daily earnings go.

Words to turk by. That's the way she goes, boys. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't cause that's the f*cking way she goes.

Very true.
My stamina is in the shitter, has been since I "quit" caffeine.

But I'm always keeping an eye out for work as long as I'm awake.

I sort of quit caffeine a few weeks ago. I got poisoned, couldn't eat for a few days and then only really bland stuff for like a week, and when that was over I was like, well damn I haven't drank caffeine for over a week let me try to keep it that way. It's getting hard though, don't know if I'll keep it up.

Good luck with your caffeine-free life. I've quit caffeine loads of times before too and there is a hard period with stamina for sometime after but eventually your body should course correct itself with that.

I perform research assistance and data entry for companies and Universities, worldwide.

In other words, I work on the internets.

When'd you quit? I'm on day 36

 

[stuffalleysays]

hope you're home and ready to rest

Resting as much as I can with kids, pets, and packing for my daughters dance competition this weekend. I would never have scheduled this for 3 days before competition. However the original surgeon quit taking my insurance and this one stepped up as a favor for another who had retired. I did not feel I was in the position to negotiate what worked for him. I would highly recommend that any jaw surgery be done when you have lots of vacation time and kids are away at summer camp, or with Grandma. I'm a pretty tough cookie, but these have been way hard and just a long recovery time. I can only compare to c-sections and knee surgery of course, but given the choice I'd gladly take either of those. I think it is because it is the mouth and maybe the mouth is just more sensitive. Or maybe because it is bone, either way, I have ice packs and bomb pops and choclopolitan ice cream for home made wendy's frosty's, lol.

Off and on for like year. Usually off.

It's been tougher to work but for situations in which like a killer batch drops at 8pm I have an emergency stash of root beer.

From what I can gather it's the same patient one from last week.

I just say that I train Skynet and people tend to scoot away. Should they press further, I say that I'm a freelancer with all kinds of various tech companies and while my pay is poop, it allows me to do stuff like go to the doctor, kills ninjas or faff about without having to report to anyone. You'd be surprised at how many people are envious over small bits of freedom like that, at least where I live.

I love the phrase "faff about".
