RE: ๐ The Curation and Engagement Leagues ๐ - STEEM prizes available! ๐
OMG! @abh1245 You've done it again. I swear you make these Leagues up so every time I get to the point of considering pulling out of them you do something that makes me want to stay in.
Thank you for the prize and for your all your work and for the massive learning experience the leagues provide. ๐
These last three days have been a new experience in that I've been away from home, supposedly on a break, AND kept up with the level of commenting I normally do at home. I now feel totally burned out by it.
It was driven by the fact that I have a delegation, and as long as I do I feel the need to make the most of the delegator's generosity, in this case that of @danielsaori.
However, it means I've been up to the early hours every day. First up and last to bed. Not great! In fact, I'm the only one up so far this morning too.
I'm on retreat next week so I'm going to take the week off from The Leagues. Please could you take me out for the week Asher? Ta!
This will be the first time since I joined the Leagues that I've taken a break. When I've been away before, my follower numbers were lower so it was easier to keep up.
So this will be another new experience for me. I'm curious to see what it feels like!
So . . . all you up and comers and regulars too, you'll have one less person to compete with for the top ten positions. Now's your chance so make the most of it! ๐
And . . .
Congratulations to @eaglespirit for remaining in the top three and to @glenalbrethsen for returning there.
Well done to everyone else in the top ten!
Have a wonder full week. ๐
ha :)
Self-vote or collect 5 STEEM, decisions, decisions :D
Yes I will remove you for next week, you'll have to remind me to add you back in though!
Well done for regaining top spot, enjoy your rest :)
Thank you Asher.
I won't self-vote yet. Not while I have a delegation.
But later in the week I might have a bit of a dabble. ๐
But I'm pretty sure that self-voting won't earn me 5 Steem. But then, as we know, I'm prone to get these sorts of calculations wrong.
Hope you're having fun in the sun and thanks again, for your support. ๐
Why not have a dabble :D
A few people have commented to me outside of the league regarding self-voting. One of these people would have scored a prize much more than their vote had they not done this week.
Sun? That lasted 2 days, we have rain until Friday and I'm hoping by then the Spanish summer will finally have started.
Enjoy your break :)
I did hear that the Spanish summer will move to Greece for the first 2 weeks of July.
Sorry for that!
I've changed my mind @abh12345. Can you leave me in please. ๐
I'm interested to see what happens if I dabble and try and take a holiday!
What do you reckon. Is that OK?
Unless he changed the rules, you don't have to tell him if you're taking a break. You can just get a really, really low score. He won't get upset. Then when you come back, you'll still be entered and can go about your business of dominating the field. :D
Exactly :)
My main reason for dropping out completely @themanwithnoname was to have a complete break. But so far, that ain't happening! ๐
I'm off to the retreat soon so we'll see what happens then.
I really need a break so it will be good not to be able to hop and off the computer whenever I have a spare minute.
Have a great week! ๐
Ha ha, I understand. Sorry to help you stay in the League. Sorry, not sorry. Although, seriously you should enjoy your retreat. Leave the computer at home. Ha ha.
Bit late for that @themanwithnoname.
Maybe that's something I can aspire to . . . leaving the computer at home. Seems pretty advanced stuff to me! ๐
Is this your final answer? :P
Personally I think everyone should stay in, you might fall to 25th and still pick up a prize!
Not really since I thought I deleted the last comment @abh12345 but obviously it didn't delete! ๐ ๐ ๐
I thought If I dropped out of the League completely it would be easier to log on less but, so far, that's not the case, at least when the computer is in front of me.
Bloody hell this is a difficult thing to stop doing.
Yep. Keep me in then.
I'm off to the retreat in a couple of hours. Let's see what happens then. ๐
@gillianpearce You will just have to admit that you cannot miss us, euhm I do mean the interaction :)
It's true @fullcoverbetting. I've already sneaked off to answer a few comments while I'm waiting for the others to arrive.
I think I've got it bad, this chatting lark! ๐
Enjoy your retreat, try not to stress over no connect time, unwind and enjoy, we will see you when you return. After all if the Boss can take a week, you certainly can.
Thanks @bashadow.
Good point regarding the boss taking a week off! ๐
Congrats Gillian. Well deserved. Thank you for your engagement!
It doesnโt matter why you did, it matters that you did it!
Enjoy your week off! We will be waiting on your return!
Cheers,
Peter
Thank you Peter.
It's good to see you back at the top too.
Well done!
Have a great week. ๐
You too!
Still aiming on a spot in the top 3. Maybe next week! Will be a lot at home so I can comment via the laptop.
aha! i see what you did ... that qurator contest was ALL a ploy!! hahahaha
Oh that it were so @eaglespirit! What an emotional ride that was. No-one warned me about that when I signed up. ๐
Hey, well done this last week. You squeaked out a legit win against Glen! That's impressive.
Enjoy your week off and we'll be expecting even more from you the following week. :)
Ha, ha, ha. No pressure then @themanwithnoname but thanks for the vote of confidence! ๐
Congratulations to you! Woohoo! I'm glad the win made a difference, especially if you were thinking about opting out. Where would be the fun in that? Anyway, well done. I'm just continually amazed here. The more you take off to do things, the more you go up in rank. It's just the inverse of what happens to me. So, whatever works, keep doing it. :)
Ha, ha, ha. Thanks @glenalbrethsen. I think it was the delegation that really made the difference.
But look at me. I'm waiting for the other people to arrive before our cream tea ehich will open the retreat and I've already sneaked off to answer some comments! ๐
Well, I suppose people could call that an obsession, or even an addiction. However, I will simply refer to it as getting things done.
All of this engagement, all of the curation, is for a good and meaningful purpose. Enriching our lives, and that of others, through adding value and receiving rewards. Can't consider it a bad thing, even when you're on vacation.
Besides, you off a lot compared to me. :) Just need to toddle off to sleep sooner.
You're right about needing to toddle off to sleep sooner @glenalbrethsen.
And I was only saying to someone today, this Steemit lark is probably the closest I've ever come to an addiction.
I keep seeing photo opportunities everywhere.
And I can't resist saying "thank you" and/or answering questions.
Early days yet though. ๐
