T'was the last weekend of the month and a sense of immediacy pervaded myLot. Many noticed their myLot bank counter showing less than three-quarters of what should be in there by the 25th day of a 30-day month, in order to make the threshold for a payout of $5.00 or more by midnight CDT* on the last day of the month. So they typed... the world over, the clatter of keyboards, the splat of fingertips against smartphone and tablet screens, could be heard... Post, in haste. But remember - haste ye back! *CDT - Central Daylight Time, the time in Kansas, where myLot is based.
Napoleon XIV was singer-songwriter and record producer Jerry Samuels (born 1938, New York), who achieved one-hit wonder status with this Top 5 hit novelty song

Yes haste does not always make waste.

@pgntwo It's such a chore this month... I thought I'd get it for sure when I woke up this morning... But no..., it had to taunt me at $4.9699 with only 5 new notifications overnight... Oh well, that's still one more new notification than my lowest ever of 4 new ones the other day...

@pgntwo - Friend PGN - There is always something at which I can be amazed. Even with my extensive training and experience in the fields of biology, I had never realized that haste had the internal organs for production of waste. Somehow it is that you always seems to teach new things to me and to others here on the Mill Otter show. -Gus-

@pgntwo - Friend PGN - Kinda like the penguins jumping up onto the ice floe. One at the other end has to jump off so that the new one can jump on. That's the way ideas are said to work, too. -Gus-

Every day, a new learning... until it gets to the point where something new displaces something old.

The darkness, a handy cover for a host of nefarious deeds... a shame our leaders seem preoccupied with shady dealings instead of applying a modicum of post haste to rebuilding the Assembly...

@xFiacre The pressure got turned up today, it seems. The phrase "cockahoop" comes to mind.

I never change my modus operandi just because the month is drawing to a close, but I know some people do. I remember that song - funny.

I suppose it does all get a bit jabberwocky around here at this time of the month.
