Really disappointed in missing out on the VRAPI, but I'm still a little skeezed out by it. I tried the test and even after being knee deep in county records I still could not find the information. :weary:

Thank you for taking the VacationRentalAPI qualification test. Unfortunately one or more of your answers were incorrect. The coordinates provided were incorrectly identified


And my car failed inspection this morning, after all the work I just put into it....

You know what? I'm done. I'm done with life. Fuck this shit. I suck at everything. Someone needs to just take me the fuck out back and shoot me. Clearly, I'm just being punished for something...

a few "download a file" type hits are starting to pop up. I'd be careful with those. A new variant of the wannacry malware has been spreading like wildfire today. My company sent out an email blast about it earlier this afternoon.

I also went the Pleco route with the Vacation qual. Didn't see it as a qual I could excel at. Maybe it'll end up costing me, I don't know

:frying:

The ones that are left are pretty impossible.
When they are new, they are super easy

It's okay. Those HITs are not for everyone. I did the qual when they originally came to MTurk and failed it and realized they're just not the type of HITs I'm good at. And that's fine! Everyone's good at different types of things. You're probably awesome at some other type of HIT that other people suck at.

My auto-fill left out a word- so I let the auto-fill win, as per instructions, even though I felt it was wrong...
so I also get to set myself on fire now.
/me throws water on you

There, now it's a wet t-shirt contest instead of a self-immolation! :p Don't worry love, now you know what to look for and will get it next time!

Message from VacationrentalAPI [mod edit - email]
---------------------------------
Thank you for taking the VacationRentalAPI qualification test. Unfortunately one or more of your answers were incorrect. The address provided was incorrectly identified for [qual test]

That's quite sad, since my Chrome autocompleted the answer in my native language or something. Messaged them still. :pensive:


I received an email stating that the parcel number provided was incorrect but what they showed in the email as incorrect was a combination of the correct parcel number with the correct address. I doubt that I would have included the address with the parcel number in the same field. Messaged them to have them double check - hoping it was a computer glitch on their end. :shrug:

i looked at the qual when it first it and tried to find it but realized I was not finding the right info. tossed it back knowing I wasn't going to have the time to focus on it. Maybe next time. Maybe not. I'm ok not having the VR qual.

I sold my Mustang to a man in the UK. Have to help the shipping company load it up next week. He bought it sight unseen and is going to totally restore it, which is more than I was ever willing to do with it. Mixed emotions
