04/12 - Warm Wednesday!

[Constantinople]

PE: $35.00

Good place to stop for now. Lunch time!

 

[electrolyte]

That's the eventual plan but old habits die hard.
Been smoking Marlboro Reds since I was 12.
They are part of me now.

You've probably got a plan, but I have a friend who was able to stop after decades with gradual decrease in nicotine in vaping and support from /r/stopsmoking/.
You can do it!

Maybe they should let those people work on it then...or are they fed up with the requester, too?

I would say that this is the case. I used to work with them back before TM and PC and all these other script programs were big. Did about $100 bucks in a few days with them.

Fast forward to now, and I make money and always seem to have a survey lined up so all my time, I am at least making some money.

To quote his hit "If you’re not a person who can handle rejection (it may take 20 people to get one contact) then please don’t participate."

20 people to reach one contact. Do the math. 20 people, average about 5 minutes per call of dialing, trying to reach a contact that can talk to you, etc... You are more than an hour and a half in and have NOTHING to show for it. It's not a matter of being rejected, it's a matter of not being paid.

I used to do this for a company locally. It was called an Inside Sales position. We would get a list purchased from a vendor and we would call them all, top to bottom. On average, 60% or more of the list was dead numbers, closed businesses, and so on. I was paid $30K a year plus commission on sales to do that job and I averaged after three years $62K. It was VERY stressful, but it paid nice.

Here is the thing. 60% of his numbers, MINIMUM, are going to be dead numbers. That is a lot of work that many people are NOT getting paid for. That is what the majority of his TO is about. The reason he is putting that in his hits is because I sent him a link to his TO page and explained what I just said above and he blew up.

Not going to rehash, you can read about it from yesterday, but just saying, I feel he is preying on mturk workers and making them weed out the bad numbers from his call lists for FREE, so that they have a clean, well built list to either work on themselves or to sell to other companies. And a list that has been cleaned up and freed of bad numbers and contacts and such, that list is worth upwards of $1.50 to $5 a number depending on the content.

He may be jaded, but imagine working an hour and a half and not making anything. Not even a nickel as a thanks for cleaning up his list.

still broken

Now it's changed from "the connection was reset" to "refused to connect"

Edit: Ha, it actually connected for one page, then errored on the next.

Started smoking at 13. Cold turkey didn't help me but shockingly Chantix help me stop for 3 years. I started back after a bad day. Poor excuse I know, but I plan to start vaping once I figure out where to buy etc....

The bad thing about Chantix (which is also marketed as Wellbutrin) is that it really messes with the mind in a lot of people. I had horrible nightmares on it, and my mother went crazy. Well, she was already crazy, but in this case, she maxed out her levels of psychosis. Friends of mine have had similar experiences with it.

Also, I have the same problem with knowing where to buy and what to buy. I looked at a few stores, but they were all super "bells and whistles" type things. I'm not trying to buy a smokeable Transformer. I literally just want a simple, one cartridge e-cig that's not going to require me to save for a month or more and has affordable refills that don't taste like butt. I got a coupon from Camel's website to get a Vuse Vibe kit for $1, but am having trouble finding it in stores in my area. Still doing some research, so I'll let you know if I find something that might work for you if you want..

ETA: Thank you, @electrolyte ! (Brain, I swear to Bob, you better have remembered the right name, or I will poke you with Qtips!)
