A generous offer

One of the companies to which I contract to annoy and spy on hard-working underpaid people and photograph toilets posts its jobs in the area for the upcoming month prior to the first of each month. Commissions for c-store evaluations always start at $4, then are raised a little bit, Dutch auction style, every few days until some schlub like me decides they're worth doing.

I get emails every three or four days announcing, "Mystery shop commissions are on the rise in your area!"

Today I got such an email announcing that a job that has been posted for three weeks at $4.00 has been raised to... (breathe deeply, exhale slowly)

$4.12.

If you don't want to register with Blogger, that's fine; just click the little circle in front of "Name/URL," then write something in the box that appears. Even your actual name if you like it.

You'll also have to write in the letters/numbers that appear in the image box to prove you are human. Thanks for humoring us. The comments will be much more entertaining with a variety of user handles.

If you have trouble reading the words you have to type in before you publish comments, click the recycle button until something comes up that you can read.
