Oh what a week! I rocketed from 99th place up to 16th and had an absolute blast doing so... I would've settled for anything from 98th place or better. I am all about incremental improvement and better than last time can never be worse, right?
That being said I was secretly hoping for top 20 to register my highest ever score, I thought I had blown it as Sunday approached because a few life things forced my attention away (rightly so). I squeaked n to top 20 and set a more ambitious plan for this week as I was away from work for the entire week whoo-hoo!
But NO!
Some stuff that was a pretty big deal and other matters which were simply time vortices waylaid any plans I had for the week. Now I find myself having posted 20ish response since the weekend on Thursday evening, Uh-Oh! In the last couple of days I have been without my trusty (rusty!!!) PC as it prefers crashing to handling my verbosity outbursts. I have had to wipe the free space on it which at one point said 3.5 days.
I am away Saturday and most of Sunday packing up my Daughters University accomadation due to the virus cancelling the rest of the course, it is at the other end of the country so will all but wipe out my opportunity for engagement.
New plan for this week - Feature in the top 100, posting my typical comments and not cheating the system, by posting too many shorter form comments, not really my style, altough I am trying to learn to be less of a windbag! I know what ya thinking, it is not going so well on this comment!
It seems I won a bonus prize this time around from @tattoodjay and a prize from @abh12345 for placing close behind the top 10 and being without an up-vote so I am incredibly grateful for that.
A recent powerup has strengthened my account and made my stake look a lot more healthy after recently reaching minnow and 60 rep. I intend to work hard and invest too in order to accelerate that growth.
Congratulations to everyone that placed on this weeks chart in any position, you are the engagers, you are the very people that make this place tick, I would also venture to suggest you are also the people who make this place ROCK!!!
As you can see from this comment, many grow longer and even more are pretty similar, I am not likely to hit the top few slots anytime but I fully intend to hit top 10 regularly. I have recently fell madly in love with the blockchain, engaging and writing again and I cannot wait to see where this takes me in the coming weeks and months.
Thanks for the work as ever Asher, it is massively appreciated man :D
Thank you for the kind and (as usual) verbose comment :D
That is some move up the ranks this week, but you did warn us it was coming. I'm glad you are devoting more time to the chain, even though it seems life matters are seeking priority.
Good stuff on the power-ups, I hope that in time we'll all be rewarded for our engagement and loyalty.
Cheers!

Thanks man. Yup, a little disappointed not to capitalise on my growth massively this week, but as they say, it's a marathon not a sprint I guess and it's just one week. Onwards and upwards.
The glasses are being cleaned, the tables are being dusted and the beer pumps are being readied, may the 4TH be with you :D
