I guess I will no longer be doing Intellishop assignments

I don't know what kind of records you are keeping, but Intelli-shop has consistently paid both my wife and I, the following month anywhere from the 20th to the 22nd. My wife does more work for them than I do though.

Arguing with fools is like playing chess with a pigeon...
...No matter how good you are, the pigeon will s@^t on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

Perhaps they are not exploiting me, but they often are insulting me.

BOB'S reply:

As insult is a feeling, I respect that is your position and certainly would never criticize such an emotion; fortunately, from a business standpoint, such is not the case with me. I recognize it's the obligation of an MSC to extract as much work as possible from shoppers, for the least amount of money.
It's hard to exploit a fat, sassy shopper with a little bit of money in the bank.

Eleanor Roosevelt is one of my favorites - I'd love to have met the old gal. One of her most often repeated quotes is "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." I think it goes even further than that - I refuse to allow anyone to push my buttons. Insult? Only if I choose to allow myself to feel insulted by someone's comments or salary offers.

I delete the emails and offers that don't interest me. Insulted? No. Just not interested.
