And are just as wonderful as expected.
They really deserve brand new pillow cases but I am sworn off Amazon for a month.

I've been spending too much money.
The pillows are genuinely awesome though - best night's sleep in ages

That's a good reason, though you are also making money. Perhaps you could set yourself a monthly allowance?

I dunno how much longer I will have the job sigh. They seem to think I am a bot

I'm a bot.

I wish I'd been bot.

But then, they'd probably wonder why I didn't stay bot.

I dunno how much longer I will have the job sigh. They seem to think I am a bot But I thought you'd emailed with them? Surely bots don't interact?

I've emailed with the Big Bang Requester. It's Amazon who think I am a bot. Totally different.

Amazon has a bot that determines who is a bot?

Essentially, and without trying to be funny, yes. Basically from what I can see online I tripped one of their online 'warning' flags for potential bot activity. I could be wrong but it seems like that was what it was.

All the best humans look like bots to the bot-detecting bots.

That's awkward somehow. Can you email them perhaps?

It's kind of ironic because 90% of the tasks you mention only seem to have any value if they are being used to train or assess bots.

Yeah, the whole 'turk' thing is to get people to do what bots currently can't do - partly as a way of gathering data so they might be able to train bots in the future to do the work. If they think you are a bot, they must think you're a super-advanced one, better than Amazon's own - you'd think they would be offering you gazillions of dollars to buy out your wonderful cutting-edge technology.

Re: pillows.

You can buy 'reaper cushions', should you so desire.

Doesn't mean one should...
I giggled over that joke by the way. Is that bad?

Here in the US, humor like that is considered very...puerile. Despite that, the best practitioners are considered to be fathers entertaining their young children. As such, they are known as 'Dad jokes'.
You're fine....you're just easily amused.
I think that's a good thing.

A good pillow is one of life's must haves. I have been sleeping rather well the last few nights. I take it to mean the stress of peak is over.

We could really do with a new mattress too

We got a new mattress in 2016. It is still amazing.

I just got a new foam mattress...it's fine, but I'm not sure it is worth what I paid for it.
The new sheets I got for the mattress are awesome for the price I paid. They are 600 thread count 100% cotton fiber.

800 thread aren't they? I am loving them too.
Erm, I am not sharing Kelly's bed or anything. I ordered the same sheets.
