Sweet Catastrophe

My $1,000 post is now showing as approved. I had opened a support ticket to ask for confirmation and Karen just came through for me. It’s official; in 30 days I’ll be $1,000 richer and I couldn’t be more elated. To a college student in need, that $1,000 feels more like a million.

It’s nice to see such a large amount in my “Will be paid” section. (I haven’t earned nearly as much as Catie so far)

I was the top earner for the day until a $2,500 opp showed up, but that one had some really steep qualifications–Tricia did a great job of writing a wonderful post under pressure. Anyway, here’s a shot of the ‘leaderboard’ so to speak.

To the best of my knowledge, that little number by my name on the top earner’s list is basically your position number of people who signed up through payperpost. I was the 385th person to sign up, which excites me! I always knew I was in at the start, but I didn’t realize just how right I was about that. PPP went live in July ‘06 and my first post was on July 2nd. I’ve actually been curious what my number was for a long time and had asked around but no one seemed to know how to find out but I guess now I know!

Of course most of the money will go towards stuff I really need and bills, but I’m at least getting a new digital camera since I had been saving for that already and had to start from scratch after that darn towing fee.
