*(#&^()#*^#()&* barely completed in time (did not start the second I got it) and yet it wasn't submitted because the timer was a few seconds ahead of the display.

Second time that's happened today. It's like either you have to pass up on most of the work you can get or you end up doing the work and not getting paid a LOT.

Edit: Those two hits would have increased my PE 50%.
50%?! o_O What HITs are you doing?

The first time I've ever half-assed a discharge room is the first time the supervisor decides to check my work.

Also hey.
oh no :( what'd they say?

I once won a $60 bonus off a raffle thingy HIT where it ask you to pick a random number from 1-100, and if you pick the right number you get the 60 dollar bonus, and I picked 59 and got the bonus.
my biggest bonus ever was like $24. so this $19 is my second biggest bonus. i’ve been turking for 3 and a half years now. the majority are usually just 0.01 to $1.00. i guess the more surveys you do the more fluke rare bonuses you can potentially get

You know I think I just never noticed them before or something? My brain is fried. Thanks!
I think they're supposed to be designed to ignore a trailing . or ", because I've forgotten and included them and it worked. But generally I don't include them.

I wouldn't. I assume that the creator of the survey just wanted to put a period at the end. They wouldn't have period included in the survey code because they fear confusion.

I know that feeling. It's frustrating. I don't like not getting paid for the effort and time I put in.

What I started doing is if I'm low on time and know I'm going to finish the HIT, I will go ahead and submit it with my worker ID. After I finish, I message the requester and tell them I submitted with my ID because the timer was running low and I give them the completion code I received. I've never run into a problem doing this. I've done it several times and requesters have been understanding and approved the HIT.

that's a genius idea that I've never thought of. Thanks!

My PE is 9.15 now. It is terrible, and I don't know if I even want to try for the other .85 to round it to 10. Bleh... At least I did school stuff. I'm sure Patrick Henry would want me to be free of this yoke of Amazonian oppression, right? He would tell me to throw off the chains that bind and... something.... yes, something...

Bleeehhh. 16.37, which would feel less bad except for this:

Today's Returned HITs 11 $10.70

This is not feeling at all worth my time. I vote for going and doing something that feels less oppressive.

lol, dammit, if I do that now that's the whole day gone and the boyfriend will do sadface when he gets home from work. Which is, you don't understand, basically the worst thing ever.

*sighs, trudges bravely off to homework*

Today is just a prickly, restless Mturk fiasco day... If any of the webpage review Content Research hits come up, I'll come back.. but otherwise... I've been sitting here all stressed and cussing up a storm in my head at every damned thing... *&)# breathing! (*)@Y CHAIR MOVING, *@&^)#@ hiccup!

Edit: Well, I mean it's not like I'm leaving the forum... you guys are on the second monitor hahaha...
