Bing Referral! Two possible Jobs :)

May 17th, 2014 at 01:00 am

First off, I just have to say how much I love Bing's customer service. I had an ongoing issue with not being able to do my mobile searches. CS and I went back and forth for four or five emails. I think I kept getting sent to the next level, because I had a different person each time. Finally, I got an email telling me a workaround. At first I felt frustrated because I thought they'd misunderstood and thought I was talking about the computer searches. But then I actually tried the workaround. Big Grin

Yesterday I cashed out for 500 SBs from Bing. I had them by the time I got home from work. Smile So this afternoon I was doing my bing searches (didn't do them this morning because I was working on Bubblews) and suddenly noticed I had 567 points. Huh? Then I realized that I must have had a referral reach silver status! Woot Woot!

This is my second referral to reach Silver. The first one I think was Sicily. That makes me sad when I see her name on my referral list. Frown Of course, I cashed out for another 500 SBs code. (These points will eventually become either Amazon cards or PayPal cash. I'm hoarding points right now to make sure I have enough SBs to get my 5 $5 AGCs for June and July in case I can't swag as much as usual.)

I've been throwing lots of darts out there on the job front. Most of those darts have missed their target. But it looks like possibly two have landed, or at least have a liklihood of landing! Smile

One is for tutoring English online to people in South Korea. It would be about 15 hours a week. I might be having a phone interview for it today. The recruiter emailed me this morning asking if I would be available, and I said after 3:30 CST (which is 4:30 my time.) I had a missed call today at 2:55. I think that might have been her. Oy.

The second one is for a virtual assistant type position. Full time with benefits. Big Grin She's going to email me to set up a phone interview on Sunday.

With the second position I'll need to change my minutes plan to unlimited. I'll have to do some research to figure out the most economical way to do that (while keeping my phone!)

I had a few frustrations this week. I wrote about one of them today in a bubble:

Text is http://www.bubblews.com/news/3391581-inspection-frustrations and Link is

It does have a happy ending. The mobile home manager came by about 30 minutes ago and did the inspection. I'm only going to be charged the $250 pet deposit which I was supposed to have paid when I got Kari. This was a deposit I'd offered to pay back then, but was told to not say anything about it by the then mobile home park manager. $250 is very reasonable for the damages Kari inflicted here.

    Should the S Kr option work-out keep in mind the time differential between time in your location and time is the following day in S Kr. If you can check a bit about their culture it will help a lot.

    Thanks PNW - It looks like the phone interview for today isn't going to happen. The lady said she'd send me an email to set up a time on Sunday .. never got an email, and as of 6:15 p.m. MST no phone call either. Frown Oh well, keep on looking.
