So where was the mystery shopper this week? Mostly at home sleeping. I did have quite a few opportunities to take some last minute assignments and although the bonuses offered were quite attractive in most cases, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d had a day where I didn’t have a shop or my day job scheduled and took several ‘me’ days. I did start booking jobs for next month and it looks like it’s going to be a busy one so resting up was not a bad thing.

I did complete a few assignments - an apartment shop here, an adult store there. I thought I was going to die laughing on that one! Yes, I actually took an assignment to mystery shop an adult-type store with a required purchase! No, I didn’t buy any personal toys, but if I had the store staff would have been required to test them for me to make sure that they worked! Isn’t that a hoot? Due to it’s adult nature the job paid quite well for a mystery shop with a purchase and I look forward to taking more of these not only for the money, but the amusement value in itself.

Don’t ask me why, but I also accepted a job that had me in a mall the day after Christmas. Okay, that’s a lie; I know why I took the job - because I screwed up. I kept noticing that this company always had assignments in my area so I applied with them. I took two assignments from them and promptly overscheduled myself and forgot all about them. I sent an apologetic note to the scheduler as soon as I realized what had happened telling her my mistake and that I wouldn’t be able to complete the jobs. I can still accept jobs for this company, but only one at a time until I improve my mystery shopper rating, and at the moment, due to my low rating, I’m only being offered shops out in the boondocks or malls. I’m just taking the mall shops one at a time and making sure that I do an extra good job on them until I bring my shopper rating back up.

See - no one is perfect. Not even me, but then I never claimed to be right? Actually I’ll have a bit more to say on THAT subject tomorrow…

Coming up this week it should be fairly quiet. I managed to pick up a few last minute jobs so as of now I have six on the books that all need to be completed by Wednesday. Five of them are for pizzas so I know what I’m eating this week!
