    Oh god, I just realized I need to go to a liquor store tomorrow. It's possible I will not make it out alive.

    I made the deep mistake of telling him why I loved college football more than nfl- he now tells his buddies and co-workers about how everyone is elite at the nfl level, so it's just not as exciting or unpredictable as cfb can be. And how he really respects college coaches for how much work they have to put into recruiting and adapting their coaching method because they can't rely on having a Brady like quarterback for over a decade at a time.

    He even throws in a nice little nugget about Hunter Renfrow now, that I totally said last year. He's stealing the essence of my bird being!

    Thanks for the evil idea though, I should start feeding him false knowledge, so he says something like how it's refreshing that A&M is undefeated this year or something equally insane.

    Eventually you wont feel this way. No-TO work is generally where the stupid $100/hr batch that lasts more than 30-minute stuff exists. Getting to the point where you can ID that work before other folks can is when you ascend to Turkvanna :p

    Ughhh but rejections are scaryyy. That's what I gotta get past honestly, being so afraid of rejections. I only have one rejection and 4548 approved, so like i'm not doing exactly bad on that front or anything.

    My goal right now is $20/day too. I'm only at $16.44 though... That being said, I'm not at the computer all day long either. I would be thrilled if I could get to $100/day, but I can't see that happening.

    I've been off work the past two days mostly to clean and organize the basement because we're down to about 1 more month to go before there's a new little one around and this shit needed to get done. But also so I could go grab all the thanksgiving dinner stuff on monday while everyone else was working. Suckers!

    I had to pick up a couple odds and ends the day before turkey day last year (nothing I couldn't do thanksgiving without, just stuff I wanted. I also bought more decoarative birds.) It was hysterical to see people losing their minds while my friend and I drank Starbucks and lacksadasically browsed target and bi-lo.

    Assuming you're no longer a true 100%, as long as you stay over 99% approval, there's no gold star for no rejections. A 99.0001% is functionally the same as a 99.9999%, and you're probably giving up a lot of money in the process.

    On the other hand, doing a bunch of work and not getting paid for it is shitty, so still tread with caution.

    I'm sorry to hear that, Bird. That really sucks. My dad got laid off from 10 years of teaching masters level classes through email. It's shitty manners.

    I'm making cornbread dressing and green bean casserole! My friend is making roasted veggies, and her family is doing the rest. Are you gonna cook for just the two of you?

    I usually sit at it from about 8 am until about 3 pm, unless I wander off to do something else, but i'm also not spending that time hunting for hits, mostly just watching for the things I already know.

    OK, OK, so this is off Mturk topic, but I was looking for a "your grilled cheese, madam" gif for @Vanyanka, and this one popped up, and I am not sure what to make of it. NSFW
