07/29 - ChrisTurk - It's Wednesday!

Call and channel your inner Karen

 

It's Comcast they won't care.

 

You aren't Karening hard enough. Gotta ask from some money off due to the service being so far below what you're paying for.

 

I believe this is the first time I've ever been the randomly selected person in my 5? 6? years turking! Yay!

Now I have more money to spend on thrift store sweaters that I unravel for the yarn!


Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

You've received a bonus from Adam Bulley for work related to 336OE47KJ65NDFI710JIQHJIWMPWV5.

The Requester included this note:
Thanks for your hard work on our study "Choices & confidence: make decisions for a psychology study (approx 30 mins)".

You have been randomly selected today to receive the payouts from one of your choices.

When presented with the following choice:

"Would you prefer $34 today and $0 in 160 days, or $0 today and $35 in 160 days?"

You chose "34 today and $0 in 160 days".

Thanks again!

 

The ten day probation making me sad . On the bright side everyday I’m learning something new on how to better optimize my workflow. Also thanks to everyone in the forum who has helped and been nice

I'll save you the time calling.

Comcast: How can I help you?
Start loop 1 of 20
--You: My internet speed is crap.
--Comcast: Yes. Was there anything I can help you with?
End loop
You: *Hangs up in frustration*

 

They'll eventually offer to lower your bill for higher speed that you won't end up getting.

 

I see this isn't your first rodeo. Welcome to Comcast, home of Xfinity.

 

I never have issues but I also pay for an xfinity business line since it's tax deductible.

 

Then I will threaten to cancel and the other person will laugh and ask me if I'm going to pay AT&T 75 of what I pay them for 2.5 mbps down when that is way worse than I get now, gotta love that competition.
