05/05 - Famous Last Words Friday!

[Lila. B.]

I keep getting emails from a Florida university to take a followup on a survey I did in 2015... and they expect people to drive to their university. They're paying $15 to do it. I live in TN

I've been getting emails from them since last summer so I take it they haven't gotten many participants

Road trip!

Good morning. I still have a head cold but I think the caffeine withdrawal effects are waning. How're you doing, @C to the J?

I'm ready to work!

How bad is a rejection? I just got my first one forgot to put in a survey code dammit.

it's okay. Do you still have the code? email the requester and let them know you are new and it was a mistake.

 

[Squatty]

hopefully your new found youtube stardom will cover you with ad-revenue.

All of this is starting to go to my head.
Before you know it, I will think I am as attractive as @Vanyanka as bossy as @kryss and I will try to change @Pleco 's name and order him around, like I have any type of power whatsoever.

They have no access to google hangouts I guess.

I am so disappointed with Hopkins. These aren't the usual delicious hits.

These are the closed qual hits I mentioned the other day. Very strange and underpaid. What I want to tag, it doesn't appear in the dropdown, and the instructions state you have to be 100% sure of your answers. Based on their track record, I wouldn't touch them even if they paid well.

You have to be 500% sure of your answers or else get yelled at and get your qual taken.

IDK seem easy enough. Most of the topics/passages get recycled

probably hell

Took me 65 minutes with no breaks at a fast pace. Could easily take ~75+ minutes. Instructions will take at least 20 minutes and possible more. The practice trials require you to get 10 right in a row several times so people can definitely get stuck on those. The actual hit itself takes at least 45 minutes with 1 break provided in between. Got a $1.57 bonus doing pretty well.

TL;DR: hell

Yeah. It just needs some getting used to.

I didn't say these were bad, just that they aren't as good as the usual hits
