It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Surveyors and Purveyors!

Before I get to my blog subject, let me say that yes, I know it is 9/11, and it still hurts me to think about it. It really does!

I have TWO, count 'em, TWO survey items to tell you about, and both happened yesterday.

First one - I filled out an online survey for Blogger regarding the new interface they are introducing. I tried the interface, it wasn't happy with my (bleep) Internet Explorer 9, and I reverted back to the original interface (which doesn't like IE9 either).

The Blogger survey failed after I hit 'submit', and I got a very nice new tab on my screen entitled 'Oops!' with an error message that the Spreadsheet Team were going to get right on it. SURE THEY ARE...

Second survey item. I made FIVE BUCKS CASH (let me say that again - FIVE BUCKS CASH) yesterday at my favorite dollar store (Dollar Mart Plus) by taking a survey about what I buy in a dollar store. A man with a survey handheld (as pictured) asked the questions, and then used the handheld and a stylus to indicate my answers.

I believe the point of the survey was to understand whether people are shopping more in dollar stores due to the economy (yes), what people are buying there (whatever is a good product and a good deal), and what types of items they would like to see more of in a dollar store.

BOY did that guy pick the right person.

TTFN and have a nice Sunday!
