Gratitude # 43

First and foremost, I am so incredibly grateful for electricity and the indoor climate control it enables for us. While I enjoy the cold weather, I most certainly do not enjoy sitting in a 53°F office trying to type while wearing gloves. UF’s heating system was offline most of this week, but they finally fixed it last night. It was still 53°F when I got here this morning, but it was up to 65°F by about 10AM. We’re now just barely under 70°F in the office. Ah, comfortable working environment at last!

I’m also grateful for the little bit of fragmented “one more day” I kept getting this week. The chairman let us go home on administrative leave, which was really quite nice. I still got up early and came in to freeze a couple mornings, but at the very least I still got to go home and nap with the baby for a bit. It helped make up for the whole baby not wanting to sleep at night bit.

I am also grateful to see some [redacted] opportunities coming my way again, although I did have one offer pulled after the company got a certain amount of posters. Now if only I could really justify writing about [redacted]. I suppose it does sound like an interesting topic that I personally would like to read more about — I am going to have to worry about aging eyesight at some point in my life, after all. I think I’ve justified it. I will need to learn about it some time as an alternative to glasses, so I’ll just share it with all my wonderful readers!

  1. Know that you’re not suffering the cold alone. It is ridiculous even in Charlotte. Every once in a while I think about how lovely it was last February in Miami…only it’s stupid cold there, too. Stinkin’ global warming!

  2. It varies. I joined it when they still had the ability to review different opportunities, but now they have it set up where you have to wait for an offer. This particular offer that I might be doing (I need to make sure it didn’t expire before I could get to it) was going to be $1.50. It’s nothing special, but it’s a little pocket change here and there. The current system is also such that I have to wait until I accumulate $50 before they’ll send anything to my paypal account. I made $11 off of the first offer they sent me, and I haven’t made anything since. YouData.com is pretty good for some spare change that gets sent to your paypal account every Friday, although it’s just that — spare change.
