Surprise Visits and Cool News at Work

January 17th, 2015 at 03:16 pm

NE surprised me twice on Friday - He showed up at my door at 7:30 just to say hi before I left for work (he was heading to SM - the store closing down.) Then he showed up at my door again at 4:50, just a few minutes after I got home. He had his eye on a speaker in O and thought I might want to go with him.

We did end up taking a road trip to O. I like going there because they have a Hardee's - Their mushroom and swiss sandwich (burger on the side for NE) and onion rings are SO GOOD.

NE did buy the speakers, and is planning on getting them up on eBay this weekend probably.

I found out from my boss on Friday that starting on February 9, I will be getting a 15 minute break in the afternoon. I could have asked for one in the morning too, but there's only 3 hours before my lunch break, so I thought that was kind of pointless. She was relieved that I didn't ask for the morning break. Smile

My plan for the afternoon break is to walk on the treadmill while reading a book. Smile Get more steps in daily and be away from the phone! Big Grin

I finished up all my retirement benefit/life insurance paperwork. It won't get delivered til Tuesday though.

I ended up going with a supplemental 10k Life Insurance because if I decide I need it later for a larger amount, I'd have to be medically approved. So for about $1.80/month I'll have 81k of life insurance. If I leave, I can take it with me, the amount I pay would just go up.

I received $25 PayPal from Mypoints yesterday. I also got my $25 AGC from PerkTV. I now have about $100 in Amazon credit.

My goals for this weekend - Today is just about relaxation and rejuvenation - probably a trip to the library.

Sunday - Get the living room cleared of boxes and all pictures put up.

Monday - Make veggie patties, cc loaf, etc. to freeze for future lunches. Do some cleaning.

Weigh In News: Even with my chocolate indulgences and Hardee's last night, I am down almost 2 lbs since my last official weigh in. Smile

    How does perk work for you? I signed up, but it feels so slow. How long it takes to get $5.00 GC?

    I've earned $55 in AGC from Perk in about two months. I have 3 different devices I run it on - you are allowed up to 5 per household. There is a Reddit page which has a lot of hints. I would suggest downloading Perk Wallet - there are two different giftcards that you can get at a discount at the $25 level. Guess which one of them is Smile
    Running 3 devices I get up to 5k points in about 5 or 6 days. If you only have one, you probably should be able to do one or two $5 cards a month without too much time invested.

    So you run whole day long? I have my phone, but I don't want kill it.

  7. FrugalTexan75 Says:

    No, I don't run it all day long. It depends on how much time I have (i.e. how much time I am at home.) Maybe 5 or 6 hours some days, others 1 or 2 hours. One of the devices I use for Swagbucks until I've ran out of points to earn, and then switch to Perk. I just keep an eye on them while doing things on my computer or around the house.

    I will give it try, since I am having such hard time with swagbucks lately. Thank you for advice.

    I used to love the mushroom Swiss burger when I lived near a Hardee's!

    CB - It is so good! There aren't any Hardee's in NM or TX, so the last time I'd had one was when we took my brother to academy (boarding high school) in Arkansas in 2000?? I was so happy to find out there was one here - especially one NOT near enough to frequent often, but not too far away for a once in a great while treat.
