So I ran a stack before which manifested my electric bill being forgiven at that time, to the tune of $353.
I ran the same stack yesterday and today.
Tonight, after work, we were out Instacarting. She got a delivery come up which was $37 or $38 for one person.
She shopped it, we drive to the address. Turns out the address is for a restaurant/brewery.
I go in to ask them where to bring it to, as in which door, etc.
They have no idea why I’m there. No idea who the person is whose name is on the order. And they say someone else had tried doing that delivery a few hours earlier in the day.
I google the address we went to, as provided by the IC app. Turns out there’s a HVAC company at the same address (above the brewery).
I call the lady, and tell her we’re there, but unable to deliver.
She says “OMG. I’m so sorry. So THAT was what happened today!”
She went on to explain that the HVAC place is her work place. She lives about 70 miles away (talk about a commute).
IC had put her work address, and with only getting $38 or whatever, no way I could cover 140 miles round trip.
She accepts that I’ll have to refund and return the order to the store.
Turns out the first person who attempted delivery couldn’t and just went through the steps to refund it. Didn’t notify her or anything.
She was super nice about the whole thing, not our fault, etc.
She said “Thank you for calling me at least so I know what happened the first time. I wasn’t sure why they cancelled it. I didn’t have any alcohol in there or anything.”
So we took the food back. Got $12 (the money Instacart was paying for the delivery) plus another $10.
On top of that, the store and Instacart just let us keep the perishable items (they can’t reshelve them as no idea if it was kept cold that whole time).
The bill for her purchases was originally $235, and the store accepted back $107 worth of reshelvable items.
We go $128 worth of “free” food!
This is important because with starting my new job this week, and working M-F from 9am-2pm for training for the next 3 weeks, that cuts into our Instacart time a lot. It’s been tougher, of course, to make enough in the few hours of daylight after work to make sure we’re making enough this week to pay for the room we’re in. It’s an extended stay pay-by-the-week type place.
We’re actually sweating how to make sure we had enough $ to buy groceries. I can’t even really afford this week to replace all the fuel I’ve used to make deliveries.
So this was nice. Basically manifested $128 worth of food. and it’s decent stuff too. Chicken breast pieces, tons of other decently healthy stuff.
The stack is 3 mins each of:
Mogul
R.I.C.H.
Emperor Black
Limit Destroyer
Rebirth

First week at the new job is in the books.
Started addressing “easy” tickets on Wednesday.
Fast forward to today, and my supervisor asked me at end of shift to come in at 8 am Monday morning instead of my usual training time of 9am.
Most of them come in at 9am, including the lady I started training with on Monday. Nice older lady who got a job because she got bored in retirement.
She’s nice. Just not well-versed in computer stuff. Yesterday I showed her how to open a new tab in Google Chrome. Today it was how to bookmark sites for easy access at start of shifts each day.
I’m gradually getting better at tickets. To the point I’m taking ownership in them in the system and doing my best to address/process them.
Worst case, I have to ask a question or two to get it resolved.
Anyway, the supervisor said that since Monday at 8 am, there’s only one person in the office doing tickets and taking phone calls, she wants me to help attack the ticket queue because (her words) “You’re doing better on tickets and can help (other rep name) keep the tickets down that first hour.”

Had a 1x1 with my supervisor today. Nothing bad.
She graded me on 9 support tickets last week. Each is worth up to 9 points.
Got 80 out of 81.
She said that she noticed I have a commanding and forceful tone when it’s time to end the call. “I love that! Your calls are right in the sweet spot of 3-4 minutes long!”
(Quite a few years of customer service to draw from I guess)
Cool.
Apparently the lady I started with has an average call time of like 10 mins. She’s not as assertive getting people off the phone.
Overall, sup says I’m excelling faster than average.
I went into this with the intention of doing the best I can so I’ll stand out if/when the opportunity for full-time comes up. Part-time isn’t cutting it.

Wife and I were waiting in the grocery store parking lot yesterday for IC orders.
I was playing a mindless game (Advenure Capitalist) on my phone. Had my glasses off (I take them off for up-close stuff as my near-in vision is good).
There was a girl walking to her car, seemed cute (though she was blurry as I had my glasses off).
She actually put a cart/buggy in the corral and then walked back to her car, so passed in front of our car twice.
After she got in her car, the wife incredulously said “She was checking you out both times!”
I said “uh huh ok”.
“No! She kept glancing at you and I swear she was checking you out!”
I asked how old she looked, and wife says “20s tops”.
I said “Sounds about right!”
For context, I’ve switched back to running full loops of Wanted Black and S&S to see what difference it might make.

Been thinking about trying sales again. It’s been 14 years. This job is just helping people get set up to take specialty exams for getting public safety jobs.

So I waved my hands up and down my body and said

I ran Wanted Black and Inner Circle yesterday morning before heading upstairs to work (listened in the car).
No subs today. And we’re at the grocery store. Got a definite smile from a cute woman with her son.
I smiled back and as she passed us, I made a show of turning around and checking her out.
She turned around. Either to look at me or she sensed me looking. Either way she smiled again.
After that, I saw 3 more cuties in the store.
Just hit “all at once”. I’ll take it.

Money manifestation:
I just got a $300.30 deposit from the extended stay hotel were at.
I went to the front desk to ask. And the lady looked and said the hot manager refunded a portion of our previous stay.
She didn’t call the manager hot. I am. She looks to be in her 20s and already in charge of a full hotel.
Either she got nepo promotions or she’s driven and all. That kind of drive is my #1 criterion in women these days.
Anyway. It’s the same money stack listed above. Been alternating between 3-minute loops of the 5 titles and microloops.
I used part of the refund to purchase Nouveau R.I.C.H. and HOSB. Not quite sure why I bought HOSB though. Got it for that “Mastery of your craft” thing. But I’m not into sword stuff so I’ll eventually see how it hits me.

So that 5-title money stack? I replaced R.I.C.H. with Nouveau R.I.C.H. 3 mins of course.
Ran that a couple times since.
A couple nights ago, I fell asleep to a full loop of about day R.I.C.H.
I just now remembered a snippet of a dream from that night. All I remember is a tiny snippet about realizing I need to learn Ruby (the programming language).
I haven’t run Index Gate: UP beyond a loop the day I bought it months ago.
So it’s interesting having that dream from the stack in general and Nouveau R.I.C.H. specifically.

Maybe I should stack IGUP with Nouveau R.I.C.H. and learn Ruby.

If you still want to be a developer I think a title like this would be great:
