first HIT rejection came tonight, do they all hurt this bad? I feel like I just got dumped
a little of bit of booze my friend that will help the ease the rejection. or a bottle. a bottle per rejection will help drown your sorrows. though may not be advisable to do hits completely hammered...

Definitely not advisable to do any HITs with any amount of booze in you. Turking and drinking is not permitted here. You're welcome to drink, but only after you're done turking for the day.

It is a survey and I think maybe we can get it straightened out. It is only .50 and I am still above 99% so not crying yet
That is good news! And yeah just worry most about staying above 99% and you will be fine. :)

Getting completely hammered is one of the things that led to me turking lol. OWI makes part time work a lil less profitable. Car insurance is waaaay cheaper if my work commute involves rolling over in bed.

I don't need to add a TWI to my record too so I will follow this advice:)

lmao....if it makes you feel better i've been rejected 5 times and i'm not even to a 1,000 yet. soooo....lol, i attempted respectfully to get those overturned and was met with silence. like everyone else recommends on other forums here stay above 98-99% and you'll be fine it only becomes worrisome if you get blocked by a bunch of requesters or you go down to an approval rating of below 75-80%. than it becomes concerning. make sure you before you accept the hits you read the reviews from other workers so your not getting the crappy ones(the ones with stars lower than 3.0-3.5 in generosity and fairness) but all in all you'll be fine. brush it off or to quote the words of a particular singer, "shake it off.."

So, I am about to be honest with you all. I really have hated Christmas this year. With a passion. I have four kids that haven't been able to get much this year because of our situation. (which was totally our own doing, I understand that...) Every month we have to basically beg people not to shut stuff off because the money just isn't there. I have been more dependent on MTurk than I would like to be. My wife works, but her entire paycheck has gone to bills and such. Also doesn't help that mine, my wife, and my one son all have a birthday within the same two weeks. I busted my ass last week to make $25 because I heard that the local jewelry store is having a sale on a great looking necklace. Not being one to bring everyone else's spirits down, I jumped on that. Now, it isn't much, but she is done. Then guess what, the next day I have no friggin money because I had to pay on something else and we had literally no money for gas. You know how your car has that little time frame where it even doesn't know how much fucking gas is left? Yeah, that's where it was when my wife had to drive home from work.

Now, we always try to give back to those that are in tougher spots than we are and always take a couple names off of the angel tree at the local mall. My wife is very thrifty and can usually get a decent amount for like $25 per kid. We refuse to stop this because we feel it's our duty because, no matter how bad things are, there are others worse off than us and we know it. Plus we can pull some of this money in by... you guessed it... doing market research studies at the mall!

So.. (Sorry for the long rant just to get to the point) my daughter comes home from church this morning (her grandmother took the kids, my wife was at work and I haven't been feeling it...) and hands us our Christmas cards. Our church members use the directory and everyone gets a card. So I tell her, with the sour attitude that I have had, that she can open them. I don't want to and could care less. I am sitting at my screen getting more and more pissed because I have made a grand total of .15 today when I hear "Daddy, what's this?" I said, it's a Christmas card obviously... She said, "No, there is something in it..." She hands it to me and inside is $100. I am floored at the fact that someone was willing to do this for me and not at a better time too. It's something like that to make me realize that there is some good in the world.....
You are a good writer. This would take me all day to write.....winner winner chicken dinner!!

Funny thing is... I learned to type when I was a teen. I used to troll adult dating chat rooms when I was a teen. Yeah, showing my age. Typing is natural to me.

Texting, now, that is another story all together...
