Getting FIREd up 😀

South_coast

Have you seen the "Burnout and wellbeing" one on Prolific this morning, Ed? I tried to do it before I got up, but it kept saying it could only have 10 people in it at a time. No time now and I can't see it still being around tonight, but thought it might be right up your street 😘

I missed that one SC but it would have been right up my street! I actually failed an attention question in one called something like "workplace stress and memory" the week I went off

My memory is never great (I always liken it to one of those kids' toys where you feed the Play-Doh in one side and it comes out in a sausage on the other side - ie, there is only room for so much information), but it was the absolute pits in the 18 months before I got made redundant. I sympathise!

OMG, I just endured the same mad One Poll survey about motorway services that I did about 10 days ago 🤦‍♀️ And still, when asking the reasons I might choose to stop at a particular services, "location" wasn't an option - which I would have assumed was much more likely than what I thought of the gaming facilities at each one 🤷‍♀️!

But I did get 10/10 on the Newvista Friday fun quiz 😀!

I abandoned the services survey when it was clearly the same as the one I’d done (just the day) before. It reminded me why I have a short fuse with Onepoll! They are utter drivel!

Woke up early (thanks, light mornings 🤦‍♀️!), so after a good stint of Duolingo, thought I'd have a bash at some Qmee for something productive to do before getting up. Oh. My. God. That was painful 😱 

Eventually managed to earn 42p over two surveys. Cashed out to PayPal, who told me I can't withdraw less than £1.00. When did that come in??? I have truly earned my 42p, I want to feel the benefit of it!

Hasn’t it always been £1 as I had the same problem years ago. Can’t believe you tried Qmee… you get kicked out so often that you couldn’t pay me to do those now 😂

Have you tried a sleep mask for the light mornings SC? I never would have in a million years but got given one on a flight and it has revolutionised my sleep in the summer. 

It definitely saves me the perils of Qmee! 😂

That's the point - they can't pay you to do them 🤣🤣🤣! 

Am sure I've cashed out 1p from PayPal before purely for comedy value, but maybe not 🤔

Not tried a mask, Vix, but thanks for the thought. I think it might weird me out a bit if I couldn't see when I woke up, plus I think I'd feel a bit guilty about trying to block out summer when we get so little of it 🤣!

No Qmee for me again anyway, I should probably get back to spending my time researching fun things like saucepans....🙄

Mrs E also swears by a sleep mask, you take whatever help you can get when you're a light sleeper with a toddler who gets up several times a night!
