Thanks for the link. I read through and I think I have a different problem. I've been successfully completing surveys for quite a while now. Then all of a sudden today, I can't log in. I have emailed them and they said in their form letter that they would look into it. It's probably something stupid I'm doing wrong.

Glad they got back to you and I hope they figure it out soon for you then!

The secret code is: "You need to be able to read my (her) mind."

Because I don't get half the crap I hear other women say, unless I know her really well and can, in fact, read her mind (i.e., make a damn good guess about what's going on in there).

I REALLY hate having to do tech support at work when someone's computer breaks while that person is here. I walk away for 2 minutes to look up something on my computer and when I get back to her computer that user is in a chat with a tech support person on some random site.

No! Don't fugging do that! Stay away from your computer while I'm fixing it, don't ask me questions and don't ask me to explain what I'm doing. If you could do it or figure it out you wouldn't have asked me to do it, right?

I'm reading an article about using MTurk and the researcher uses the word "skimming" which they then define as a way "in which workers accept and work on multiple HITs at once". I've never heard this used before. Does anyone else call multitasking on MTurk "skimming"?

I never have. Weird definition for an old, OLD word. [ Christopher shakes his head in disgust. ] Secondary definitions in the OED are pejorative. Care to share the link?

Customer service lesson: when working with customers, there are times when you have to take control.

I can't log in. It keeps asking me to prove I'm not a bot, and when I do prove it, it asks me to do it again.

I can't login either....

I did. I told her to stay the hell off of her computer until I could fix it, or live with no start button or search bar until some weekend when I can come in and do it when no one is here.

She chose to stay off her computer today.

This was so awful, I returned it about 10 minutes in.

I'm telling you straight. They got together as kids and made it up. Started with this 1st. If he asks you "What's wrong?" you answer "Nothing"............

Oh heck that one is easy. We never say nothing, even when nothing is truly wrong. So if "nothing" is uttered, then you know something is amiss.

Also never trust the word "Fine."

I can't login either....

I just got in by putting in my email and my pw, then clicking on log in through facebook instead of the bot thingy. I don't remember linking my FB account, because it's not something I would normally do, but it worked.
