We have had well over 30 days of over 100 degrees this summer. We usually have some but not that many. August is our hottest month. Even native plants are dying from the drought. At least when the grass dies, it will be easy to identify the weeds and kill them. Unfortunately, some of our weeds are Johnson grass, and it has to be mowed. Right now, its tallest stalks, though we don't have many of the plants yet, are about waist high but most things are barely ankle high. It's time to call the yard crew. They could get done faster just by weedeating. I ran out of weed killer.
Anyway, about mystery shopping: In the past year, several of my companies lost clients that I was shopping. One or two rotated me off long-term assignments for the near future. I need about $500 more a month. Other than Market Force, which I'm already signed up with, are there any companies you know about that both have a lot of clients and operate in many geographic areas? I don't have time to search dozens of companies' websites every week. I try to vary where I look, but I'm not searching in the right places at the right times, so I need to narrow it to a company that has lots of assignments. Right now, I don't have time to do theaters and am not in the right market for banking, many apartments, or big city type assignments. I don't want to have to drive that far right now. I guess I'm narrowing it too much, but maybe some of you have ideas. I'd appreciate it.
