Ya know those annoying emails that you get about doing surveys for money and rewards? Well, that’s my new substitute behavior. And, it’s not going so well.
Here’s what I have discovered……if you take one survey, you will get a bazillion other survey companies emailing you. This is not good for someone with addictive behavior patterns. Believe me…..I know!
It seemed easy enough. Get paid a couple of bucks for every survey that I take. Definitely not a way to get rich but at least I wouldn’t be out shopping. Right?
So, I signed up with one of the survey companies. After filling out a complete profile form, I got directed to a survey. After spending 5 minutes on that survey, I found out that my profile did not qualify me to finish it. Another survey…….5 more minutes wasted. And, 5 more and 5 more…until a hour had gone by and I had not had the opportunity to earn my precious $1.50. CURSES!!!!!!
With a big sale begging me to come, I got a great idea. I changed my profile on every survey. I was female/male/Hispanic/Native American/Oriental and more. I worked as a car salesman/a psych doc/a Burger King counter person/a horse trainer/a nanny/a chef/a Los Vegas blackjack dealer and more. I was 15 yrs old/67 years old/23 years old and more. I was so many things that I started getting confused.
When I realized that I had signed on to one as a pregnant, 59 year old, male model, I knew that I had to quit.
But, now, I’m totally swamped with surveys. So many surveys that I am thinking of changing my email address.
One thing that I did NOT do was give out my real phone number. I have nightmares about answering the phone 50 times a day with a surveyor on the other end.
Take my advice….shopping and hoarding is easier and probably a lot saner.
