Found some temp work today

VERY temp work, actually. I was leaving Mice's after printing out my CV/resume to take to the temp agency and as I was leaving, a guy asked if I'd like to participate in a study they were doing inside. He said it would take 15 minutes and pay £10. That is FOUR times my current rate of pay, so I agreed. It turns out it was this was a marketing thing for Orange phones. When I found this out, my morality alarm went off a little bit, as I don't particularly fancy helping a big corporation make more money, but I thought 10 quid for very little work was worth it, and it gave me a chance to let them know what I thought. Plus the Australian girl who was in charge was really nice (read: cute). I'm still curious whether asking my age and place of employment at the end was part of the survey or just her own curiosity, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

So they sat me in front of this crazy monitor thing which tracked my eye movements and then she showed me this website and asked me to have a look around. When I was finished, she showed me the video of where my eyes went and asked a few questions.
"Can you tell me what the site was for?"
"Yeah, you sign up and get e-mails and a chance to win a PSP."
"Does this interest you?"
"Not in the least."
"Why not?"
"Cuz I hate getting e-mails and I know that there's no chance I'm going to win it."
"Do you think we're going to give your e-mail address to other companies."
"Probably."
"But you didn't even follow this link (referring to the disclaimer about signing up)."
"That's because everyone has one and it's full of legal crap that I can't understand or don't care about. Plus I know the odds of winning are so low that I'm never going to win. Why would I sign up?"

After that she was like "Well, pretend you DO want to sign up..." and I had to fill in boxes and go through several methods of which was better (dragging things over, ticking boxes, highlighting selections, etc.) and that was it.

I told her flat out near the beginning that I hate e-mails from companies and that I dislike advertising in general. Now, I'm sure I'm not gonna turn the world around or anything, but at least I got to give them my opinion. And I got 10 quid for it too. However, now thanks to me they'll probably just come up with a sneakier way of advertising to folks like myself in the future. Ahhh, cynicism and idealism really are two sides of the same coin.
