Hey all, it’s still 25 degrees here in NC and I haven’t had a cigarette in 4 days (I quit a week ago, but cheated 2 days in…so give me credit for my honesty if nothing else).

Geez, I know I’m supposed to feel like a million dollars, smell great, not need Botox, have prettier lungs, train for marathons and all that, but all I want to do at the moment is strangle anyone that crosses my path. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Hopefully this too shall pass, I don’t think I’d much care for the Women’s Correctional Facility.

Thumbs up to Chantix though. I’ve been taking it for 2 weeks now, it won’t take away the urge to strangle people, but it does make smoking a lot less appealing. It blocks the rush, so there’s not much point in smoking one. Kinda like drinking a Coke without sugar or caffeine, why in the heck would anyone want to do that???

After a 45 minute survey, I just don’t feel like myself!

Anyway, enough about my misery and on to surveys. I joined Global Test Market last week, and I got my first survey invitation yesterday. It was a screener survey, very short (about a minute). It was about electronics, X-boxes etc., a category about which I know little and own none of, so it came as no big surprise that I didn’t qualify for the actual survey (which would have paid $5). But they gave me a few points for being electronically challenged anyway. I’ve heard and read great things about this company. They pay points for cash, no sweepstakes or games, and they are one of the most reliable. I did tons of searches on them (because I just joined and you would probably be thinking “what does she know yet”). They are consistently on the top 10 lists, and I can’t find any unresolved complaints on them either.

Now remember, Global Test Market is another one of those quality over quantity companies, so they won’t be one of the sites that sends you 5 “surveys”a day that waste your time. The surveys you get from them will be worth the wait and you’ll be getting money for your efforts.
