Ooops I fell asleep on the couch. PE 2.52! that hurts but the nap felt so good.

Why would a disqual have a retake available?
(Normally retakes are for trying again, if you fail a qual, note for newer people)

I don't think it really does.

I don't think it really does.

Oh. k.
If the info on that imgur isn't accurate, I have no idea. You're probably right, cause you seem to be. And I have no idea.

Just found this on reddit. I think it's a disqual for missing golds:

Well, nevermind the lightshot won't post here.

I agree, thats weird. Wonder if this was from the huge batch Pins had up the other morning? And also what the point of it is. Didn't most of us end up locked out of Pins?

I just got a job offer from my previous boss. The place that let me go because they couldn't pay their rent. I'm all for second chances, but It's hard to recover from something like that.

your current job seems pretty legit. is it still on a temp basis ( i thought it was through temp, i could be wrong.)

Calculate a nice sign on bonus. They're obviously hurting and will be saving money not having to train someone new.

Yes, but they told me they're going to hire me permanently at the end of the month. I have no reason not to believe them.

HIT Catcher vs. PC: I seem to catch more of the HITs I enter in Catcher than I do PC. Can anyone suggest *why*? Anyone else have the same perception? (Note: I never enter the same HIT in both programs).

There's more opportunity for me where I'm at. And they pay better. Win, win.

 

[Turtlefemm]

Me neither but they took charged me a $1.00

Oh no!

Because it's better. Plus, if you're using HITFinder, the PandAs in HITCatcher are timed to not overlap with HITFinder, if I understand the process that's happening behind the scenes. It's more efficient.

On the reverse, PC and HITFinder don't communicate so, there could be overlap(simultaneous) pings to AMT,(I think) which could cause one to not go through.

This is my story and I'm sticking to it.

"Because it's better." Well, that's a novel way of looking at things. Simple explanation that makes sense! Thank you, sir!
