Stu 38 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 OK. Own up who has checked their sales over the holiday period? Possibly justified with the odd Sunday sale but really...? Is it a learned physical habit or a worrying sign of a compulsive disorder? And who has been catching up on their keywording and who is waiting for the New Year? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bryan 15,502 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Guilty as charged. But, 7 sales came in on the 23rd so a heart warming experience. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
fotoDogue 564 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I once had a sale on New Year's Eve, so yes, I'm checking. One sale on 23rd December. Two photos cleared, one on the 24th and another on the 26th. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 1,129 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Started key wording again today ! Checked sales yesterday....three personal uses. One refunded...nice, they have the file free of charge. The other two are two different pix of a leper begging in India.....perfect for that unusual greetings card !! Santa has still not brought the much asked for button to opt out of personal use sales....I wont hold my breath 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Stu 38 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 I had a couple of reasonable sales this month which only fuels the fires! Link to post Share on other sites
John Mitchell 5,366 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 OCD? What OCD? A PU sale showed up on the 23rd. Keywording can wait... Link to post Share on other sites
Avpics 1,845 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I'd been purposely uploading madly before the break knowing (or hoping) that I'd have more time than usual to keyword whilst off work. Today was a planned day of keywording, and it's kinda gone to plan, between playing with Christmas toys Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison 5,004 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Five sales on Xmas Eve, one today... Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Thompson 128 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Can't help but check, habit. One dropped in today. Leaving keywording until the new MI appears ( was hoping to have it in place for this week) Have a great new year everyone Edited December 27, 2016 by Paul Thompson Link to post Share on other sites
geebee 36 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Against my better judgment my wife persuaded me to check my sales on Christmas morning and against all the odds I had a sale dated 25th dec for a personal use. Not great money of course but a sale on Christmas morning!!!!!!!. Graham 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Fi Melbourne 1 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 OK. Own up who has checked their sales over the holiday period? Possibly justified with the odd Sunday sale but really...? Is it a learned physical habit or a worrying sign of a compulsive disorder? And who has been catching up on their keywording and who is waiting for the New Year? Me! And constantly checking if my images have passed QC. Link to post Share on other sites

Avpics 1,845 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I've had some images keyworded yesterday go on sale today, no sales or zooms notified since 24th, no images QC pass/fail since 23rd and a Live News image published today without Alamy letting me know (sometimes they do, but not always). I'd guess they've got a skeleton staff in. Link to post Share on other sites

TeeCee 1,645 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Yup, Guilty. Hi, I'm Tony, and this is my first time at an AA (Alamy Addicts) meeting. Where do I sit? Link to post Share on other sites
Janet 29 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I only have a tiny port but still checking and nothing, will be uploading few more during the week. Looks like I might need a seat next to Tony if there's space. Happy Snapping Janet 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Hatton 193 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Me to cant help it! also got 70 images to keyword over holidays. Link to post Share on other sites
spacecadet 4,365 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I was wondering who "sly stone" was. I had a misprint for "sky" on 11 images. Still don't know who that is. Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Robinson 1,345 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I had one on Christmas Eve that would have easily paid for three mince pies. And several newspapery ones since. Link to post Share on other sites
Broad Norfolk 244 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I'm guilty of checking for sales on a daily basis. BUT, I completed all my uploads and keywording by Christmas Eve and have forced myself to have a break until 2017. It's another life!! I've even had time to play with my Grandsons - even more exhausting but relatively stress free!! Jim. Link to post Share on other sites
spacecadet 4,365 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I had one on Christmas Eve that would have easily paid for three mince pies. And several newspapery ones since. I got a free mince pie on a steam train yesterday, must have been one of that sort. Link to post Share on other sites
