I was just browsing the canada.gc.ca site when a window popped up – if I choose to participate in their little study, which monitors my activity on their site for 8 weeks, they’ll send me $50.
Hey, $50 is $50 – so I signed right up. Privacy Schmivacy. I don’t really know how much I’ll be monitored, but it’s not like I’m selling drugs or my body on here, so it’s all good. If you’re not doing anything wrong, you’ve got nothing to fear… right?
So for the next 8 weeks, I’ve got iDiary installed on here, watching my every move…..
J2: Yeah, but it’s really easy work!
*surfs around site*
damnit, I wanna have my privacy invaded!
Btw … there are also banner ads in various places for Canadians who are over 18 … it’s a market research company, every so often (about once a month) I get a cheque for $5 for doing market research surveys.
Takes about 10 minutes. An easy $5/m. 🙂 But there’s no way to sign up without clicking on the banner…
Dammit, makes me wish I was in Vancouver so I could make 50 in 8 weeks.
Wait…
You do know that during the next 8 weeks going you to be paid less than 4 cents an hour for having that on your computer.
Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!
