I have finally ended my survey break...I tell you, it's hard to start again! I started again the other day, and though it took some time to qualify and to get through the thing, it was very exciting to see that credit the next day.

I think I've taken *at least* 3 months off, if not more. I warn anyone thinking of taking a break to really imagine what it will be like, going back to it, after not doing it. I just now, after 8pm, remembered that I wanted to do one today. I forgot yesterday. I'm totally out of practice! It wasn't supposed to be this long; just a few weeks I told myself...

So be careful deciding to take a break, because it's hard to get back to it.


Among other things, I came back to the surveys b/c of hubby's job. Tricia, you know he worked at amazon, but they closed his dept...he's actually going back to a NEW job there in a week, but for the two months between, he's been contracting with a certain big company in our area that runs a big, but otherwise somewhat similar, program as you do (shopping-wise)...I have felt like a huge traitor!!! So has he, I think, even though, you know, when you're laid off and have a family, you take what's offered. But we're glad he got the offer from Amazon, so we can stop feeling bad. And to make up for it, and along with the other reasons, I'm going back to surveys.
