while you guys are there, you might mention that a W. WA focus group is needed ASAP!!

Nope, I have a 2:30 pm slot on Sunday. Thanks for the concern, z0ner. If I had been 86'd there'd be no LOL about it, though... :evil:
z0ner said:Interesting, as I also have a 2:30pm slot... The plot thickens! I haven't received an email yet with the details, tho.
Boomer23 said:Sure, Dave.
BTW, what currency do you guys use up there?
Boomer23 said:I just got a call with the bad news that I'm shafted out of this study. It turns out that I did a focus group two days ago at the same location on the same vehicle, so the client caught the fact that my name was in both groups and kicked me out.
The bad news is that they were only paying $100 for the one that I did, so I'll miss out on the $250 for this one.
Yeah, I'm bummed. I sort of thought that this might happen, since both groups were at the same location and within a few days of each other. In hindsight, I should have asked. If I'd done that, I would have asked to be bumped from the first one.
Oh well, I guess it's not in the cards for me to be able to live on the payments from these events. :lol:
I'm glad that some of my friends here are getting to do the study, though.

Send them my name and tell them I'd be happy to do their study! (although they ignored my inital email, so I won't hold my breath.) :mrgreen:

I'll do that, Jim.

mwalsh said:Done with mine. Sparky ended up being in the session with me. Had to sign a NDA, so I can't tell you who it was for or what it was about. But if you Google AutoPacific; Linda Nicholes; and August 21, you should be able to figure it out who it was for at least.
Boomer23 said:Okay, now I'm completely confused. The car that my group was focused on two days ago wasn't that one, yet I was bumped "by the client" because I was already interviewed. Very strange.

You mean your car wasn't small and Italian?
Boomer23 said:Nope, it was larger, roller imported from China, electrics installed on our west coast, costs more than a Volt, has 150% of the battery capacity of LEAF and has the same number of letters as the car you saw today.
Boomer23 said:I suggested that she include you or 1051 (Mitch), but she said that she already had to fill the spot with someone that was "on hold". Well, maybe that was one of "us", though.
