More Interesting Stuff, etc.

November 15th, 2014 at 12:50 am

So on Thursday my already interesting week got even more interesting. This time thankfully it wasn't a scary experience. It was something I would never have thought to have put on a bucket list, but am glad to have experienced it. Smile

What was this experience?

I got to attend my first ever press conference!

The bus company I work at was awarded a sizable money grant that they are going to use to buy 3 new buses and a driving simulator. The mayor, and some other major dignitaries were all there.

It was way cool. Smile There were 4 tv stations covering it, and at least one newspaper reporter (who asked some questions at the end.)

My boss K told me I'll have the chance to attend many more. Smile Whatever gets me away from the phones ... Big Grin

Today was very stressful at work. I think I'm just way overtired. I made a mistake this afternoon - a stupid one - that I'm sure to hear about on Monday. I've really been trying to be *uber* careful, and yet still did it (gave the wrong pass to someone basically.)

--
We're supposed to get more snow tomorrow. It sure is cold enough for it!

Wednesday the heat wasn't working on my side of the office and I was *freezing* - Thursday it was working - today it was sort of working.

I brought my space heater to the office on Thursday, but haven't used it yet.

If you haven't heard of PerksTV it is an iPhone (and Android too I think) app. you earn points by watching videos. I finally earned enough to cash out for a $5 AGC today. I wonder how long it will take to arrive?

I think it is a good thing I got a new phone. My 4S has been having some weird battery issues this week.

I got my sim card in the mail on Wed but haven't had a chance to mess with it yet. I need to call ATT and find out what my ETF is going to be.

So I'm close to the end of my 60 day eating out challenge. Other than two exceptions I did it with no trouble. I m looking forward to allowing myself the option again, but I think the challenge has successfully reset my resisting eating out muscle so I won't go crazy with it.

    I've been doing Perk since July - love it! DH is shocked at how much we've earned between Perk, SB, and Bing. To answer your "when" question: Perk sends out rewards Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So if you redeemed yesterday, you will get that reward on Monday. Good to know to time redemptions. If you can save up enough for a $25 Amazon gc, you can redeem through the Perk wallet for a slight discount. That's what we do about once a week. We went "all in" with 5 devices for each of us. Just love our little "Perk farm" we have going. Granted our router couldn't handle the load and we had to upgrade, but things run smoothly now. It sure is a lot of fun!

    You can run Perk on more than one device at the same time?? I did not know that. A $5 AGC is 5000 pts - how much is a $25 one? I thought I was being all smart waiting til I had enough for the $5 one rather than the $3 one ...

    I've been earning the tokens too - put in for AGC, Walmart, IHOP and Amazon Prime so far. Smile Working on another Amazon Prime entry currently (10,000 tokens)

    Up to 5 per account! Smile 24250 for $25 Amazon (and maybe a couple others) when redeemed through the Perk Wallet app. I'm sure I'm not even maximizing this as well as I could be, but I sure can't complain either!

    I have done absolutely nothing with the tokens. I have them, just done nothing with them.
