Day One Hundred Ninety-Nine

September 7th, 2016 at 02:10 pm

Calories: 1572

Just got back from the gym -- recumbent bike & abs.

I heard from the company that's running the focus group and I'm all signed up to participate this evening. Then I had to figure out how to get there and park. Or whether to ride. It turned out that it was an 8-minute walk to the El. That's fine at 6pm but not at 8pm. Not for me, anyway. I'd rather pay the safety tax. So I reserved a parking spot in a nearby garage for $12. It is a garage I have used before, so it won't seem too strange.

I learned that they will provide a "light supper" if you get there early enough. Yes, I will get there early enough! And there will even be a drawing for $75 extra if you're there ahead of time. They really want to start on time! The compensation is $175. All in all, sounds like a good deal to me. I hope it's not a selling situation, but I researched the company, and it looks like it is truly market research.

More laundry to do today, and I have to pack up my Florida grandson's birthday package. I'm a little late on that; his birthday is Sunday.

Variables spending is now at 37%; think I will be okay if there are no surprises.

    I think I'd probably park instead of walk too in your situation. I can't wait to hear about the focus group!

    $175 compensation is excellent. I only got $100, plus a hot meal.
