They couldn't have picked a worse day to start paying...

It's definitely not the same. I don't like the redesigned format any more now than I did when it was first changed, but I'm happy to see so many old members here again. It's been nice to fall into the familiar conversation habits if nothing else. I can't say I blame anyone who doesn't want to come back. A lot of people were upset about the huge changes that were thrown on us. It should have been handled a lot more tactfully than it was.

@yukimori It was just a funny quote. Have you finally managed to do your assignments yesterday ?

@topffer I got most of them submitted before midnight. If everything goes well on the company's end, they'll be approved today and I'll be paid for the work tomorrow. If not, I'll have to wait until they pay again in 2 weeks. I did put off entering the last one until this morning, but it was the one that had a 12-hour reporting window. All of the others were due by midnight. And I lucked out with one of the locations I had. I didn't have to complete that assignment because it had closed and another business was opening there soon. I'll get paid the full fee from the company, too, which is really nice. I actually knew ahead of time that it was closed, but still had to go to the location to verify. I'm kind of double-dipping on this one, because I have another assignment at the same location later this month. If they don't cancel it, I'll just submit the closed location report without going to the location a second time.

But if I yield to it, nothing gets done! D'ya suppose the old myLotters Anonymous programs are still running?

The funny thing is that I'm in the middle of a route of assignments right now. I'm entering them as I go today so I can get back to myLot faster this time.

@yukimori Interesting! When you 'get them' do you feel accomplished or sorry for those who are on the wrong side of law?

@yukimori I suppose you are only doing your duty and doing it well regardless of what effect that will have on those who you report on.

@allknowing Actually, I never really know what 'gets them.' I'm given the forms to complete and told what the client is looking for by the companies that schedule the jobs, but they don't tell me what 'good' or 'bad' responses to the questions are. Sometimes I can guess, though. I don't like it when I can tell that the location didn't do well, because it means they weren't up to their company's standards. I think there was one that I did for a company where one of the employees was out of uniform. Normally that's not a big deal, but this employee was wearing clothes that had offensive images on them. I had to report exactly what I saw, and I'm pretty sure that employee lost his job since I haven't seen him at that location since then. So I do feel bad that my report brought that to the company's attention, but the consequences are a result of his actions, not my report. He made a poor choice and decided to wear something he wasn't supposed to wear to work. Hopefully he'll take it as a learning experience and apply that knowledge to his next job.

Can I decide I don't want to make a decision right now?

It's all a plot to keep you from getting those assignments turned in! The gods of MyLot are devious like that.

@Lolaze I certainly hope not am enjoying my day one here on myLOT!

@Oceanblue71 I think you're going to find that @Lolaze is correct... myLot is devious like that. It's a good thing!
