Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal for October 2020?

I actually had a bit of WORK (as in making money) this month, but not enough to keep me away from MyLot. It's been a slow and steady month for me on MyLot. I've already passed by "default" goal of $00XX.YYYY, and think I can make 00XQ.YYYY if I can find interesting things to talk about (and read). But making 00XG.YYYY is going to be tough! How about you? Are you a non-essential human, like me, struggling to find work? Are you happily retired? Have you set a totally arbitrary MyLot goal for this month? Photo is of me in my hi-lux recliner, smoking a cig. Or maybe not.

Nope. I may not make cash out, the first time in a long time, I have been working a lot and I took a break from being online.

@TheHorse I backed up and dropped into a deep laundry basket at seven months pregnant! Bruce was laughing so hard, he almost couldn't help me get out!

I'm still a newbie and I haven't yet fully understood the site to set a goal. About how much can I make a day?

I do this post every month as a kind of "joke." I'm teasing myself and others who are concerned with how much they make here. In reality, I wouldn't set goals. Just get involved in lots of conversation and enjoy the interaction. When you are new, you might make a penny a day. I would guess the average fairly active veteran MyLotter (it's actually spelled myLotter) makes 20 cents a day. Some really prolific and/or well-known MyLotters may average as much as a dollar a day! But those folks are rare.

@TheHorse A woman is never "fully-retired", because there is so much to do inside a house. I want to apply a protective coating of wood paint to our garage door, but this is the wrong season. I fear I have to wait until Spring.

Was on furlough for a good two weeks give or take. Got new work that started yesterday, Monday. That was one thing to be happy about but truth be told. Not sure how long this new gig will last. I'll be happy if I still have this job until the end of the year. Job prospects are not looking good. I'm twenty cents off my monthly goal so hoping I have enough days to make that figure up. It will be sure nice to get a payout next month.
