@Nick Someone once filled a card with glitter as a joke for my ex girlfriend. She opened the card in my house, and glitter went everywhere. 2 years later, I'm still finding glitter...

 

advice: don't drink on weekdays kids

 

@Nick Hungover today?

 

How do you figure out your rankings?

 

not hungover per se but very close to being. muscles are all tensed up all monring @alert=danger

 

My girlfriend is here for the weekend and it's been a slow work week and I watched The Force Awakens last night, so yesterday totally felt like a Friday. I really don't want to work today.

 

something i think about a lot, just how did outkast do it?

 

@Jason Tate great April Fools joke. Everyone we can go back to AP now.

 

I got a freelance job to do this morning where I'm recording myself saying certain phrases to help a company work on it's voice recognition software for a GPS/Siri type hybrid, basically. They're very clearly focusing on non-American phrases and I feel like I'm cheating because I can pronounce all the Spanish and Italian words properly. This may not be the most helpful for them.

 

Hahahaha, now they're asking me to say random actors names. This is the best job I've ever head.

 

How do you get jobs like this? What kind of money do you make?

 

I've set up a profile on Upwork.com where you submit proposals/bids for jobs that companies around the world post. It changes on the type of job, and companies can also approach you without submitting a proposal. I'm getting paid four cents a phrase, with a max of 1,000 phrases. I can make $40 in two hours or less, basically. I've done just over 150 phrases in ten minutes. Some huge companies use proxies for this website, too. Like, I'm 97% sure I'm actually working for the biggest search engine in the world, not this false front company who hired me today.

I've ghost written articles for one of the largest education groups on the internet ($16.50 an hour), and interviewed to ghostwrite for one of the largest wedding planning websites in the world (didn't get it, but made the final round of interviews, would've been $20 an hour).

 

I have to do actual work today. lol

 

I always have to do actual work. I'm just efficient.

 

pshh show off @Brenden

 

Morn' everyone. Hope everyone has a good day!

 

I'm on a bus and it's rainy and I'm tired so I'm gonna sleep on this bus and hope I don't snore and annoy this nice lady sitting next to me.

 

It's the day after the end of the month, so I'm just hanging out. I did send out an email this morning to quote a customer, so that was work.

 

I have drama club rehearsals today. The show is at the end of the month, so these next rehearsals gotta be spot on. After that, it's chill time for the rest of the day!

 

I have the day off, and a staff night out tonight. I'm currently trying to decide if it's too early to have a beer.

 

Never too early for a beer.

 

what @Henry said

 

I spent the last 48 hours drinking beer, very excited to stay sober for a bit. Beer is wonderful anytime on a day off though

 

I had Reese's for breakfast. Actual Reese's though not the Puffs even though that's the tagline from the commercials.

 

My friend called me a boring old person the other day because I said Raisin Bran was better than Reeses Puffs.
