I just realized my self appointed title - uber master - makes it sound like I'm an uber driver. might have to rethink this.

I've been pretty chill since the new year has started. How have the work days been?

 

[Hotlamp]

PE: -5.00 for bowl.

That's really awesome! Congrats! I'm trying to do the same, but on my own. I have varying success, I suppose. I'm glad you're doing well.

Yeah, I was the same way, I tried getting sober on and off for 5+ years before this but always ended up making an excuse why I "should" have a drink or why I deserve one. After my twins were born and going through terrrrrrible post partum issues...I made the choice ( well my husband helped when he came and picked me up at the hospital and said get sober or leave haha)

Okay, let's do the batch dances today. I need to make up for lost money and still have time to purge and pack.

oh yeah my alcoholism was a problem for years and i knew it but always had an excuse. got DTs from alcohol withdrawal after a 6 week bender and checked myself into rehab. and now the first thing I do every morning is pray. It's amazing how much has changed in such a short amount of time for me from working the steps and throwing myself into the Fellowship

love your walt quote in your signature. another favorite of mine from him: "Around here we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

I can't find a yawning smilie. Maybe this :weary: or this:openmouth: or this.
At any rate, Good morning!

 

[ashleyvirus]

so have there been any "improvements" made to mturk that i should know about since the summer?

i got paid $15 to do some pretty easy(for me) math on a survey a couple days ago which was a cool welcome-back treat lol.

I totally agree, it sounds like our stories are so similar. I grew up going to catholic school...ect.. But once I moved for college I "deviated" from the path. But once you make your mind up for once and for all that, that is enough. Its amazing how quickly the mindset changes. We pray every night and every morning and its a great way to start and end our days.

Transferring money to Amazon Payments takes about 8-10 hours now, instead of just a couple of minutes. Yay progress!
