07/29 - Fly with Kiki Friday!

[tricker]

Trying to power through today and make goal (since I got half way there this morning). But I have zero motivation. I don't even want to be at work. Yesterday one of my uncles died suddenly from a massive heart attack. No one in my family called to tell me so I had to find out about it on FB hours later (thanks, fam!). I'm stunned that he's gone, I just can't believe it and it's sapping my will to work at any job! Just wanna go home, grab some wine, and float in my pool listening to music.

how long does hit db need to be finished updating? after importing a backup. it has A LOT of hits in the backup. is it more like 20 minutes or 5 hours?

 

[Jaded]

Yes, more is bad. Because you have to suck them all and you get kind of tired after awhile. It used to be 17 dicks was my highest rating but people have gotten out of control.

Oh, well that is bad then.

Go home, get wine and float in that pool if you want to! Sorry to hear about your uncle. Please be kind to yourself.

You also wasted your time going in half hour early and you are still here to complain about wasting your time while you are wasting your time.

Holy hell I think he gets it.

I'm just saying that I logged in early in case of any problems and then could not commit to other HITs with unknown time limits. So, yes, i guess I was an idiot for not doing other stuff in the meantime...

Eh don't let them get you down. You tried to respect the integrity of the activity.

It takes longer after you've done an import than normal but definitely shouldn't take anywhere near 5 hours.

Unfortunately, we will have to cancel today's session because not enough recruited workers showed up. Those of you that did show up, will receive a $2.00 compensation for your time. This payment will be applied as a bonus to your recruitment HITs.

We will try to reschedule the experiment session for next week (Monday or Tuesday). Further instruction will follow. We apologize for the inconvenience and we thank you for your understanding.

I'm still half asleep here. Do we just submit with our ID in this case then?

Holy hell the board moves fast and when you quote something that was posted "a moment ago" and don't see all the other replies, it ain't beating a dead horse dude. Enjoy your wasted time with two dollars and a reschedule to get more money.
