Amazon, Top 10000 Reviewer
So, I've been super busy lately what with school (which is going well), work, and trying to get my taxes together (I got a 6 month extension back in April. What did I do for the past 5 months? Not taxes.) But, I had to make an announcement that today, I moved for the first time under rank number 10,000 as an Amazon.com Reviewer. Number 9889, baby.
What does this mean? Do I get mad discounts? A trophy? A certificate of appreciation? The respect of my peers? Maybe a nice avatar? No, no, no, no and no. In fact, it means absolutely nothing. Except this. If you ever needed to buy a budget digital metronome and thought "What model is best?" well, I was there. If you ever wondered about the slowly diminishing quality of Ben Folds Sheet Music books, I was there. If you bought a dustbuster based on my recommendation, well, you and I both know you got a quality product. If you needed to know what the best deal on a beginners crossword puzzle book was, well, I was there too.
Saving people from possibly purchasing a substandard item, one review at a time. 24 reviews. 882 people helped. Only 9,888 tiers (each tier holds some number of people who have helped at the same level the others in that tier, so there are a lot more than 9,888 people who have reviewed better/more prolifically than I) below me.
Oh yeah, baby. Oh yeah.
