Another message from William Fry

Our instructions weren't great and we had many incorrect answers. Since we sent out so many hits (9,000+), we didn't know how to handle reviewing all so we were forced to reject. Please bear with us as we correct the problem, we'll rescind shortly.
Maybe they'll reverse the rejections?

Regarding William Fry:

Okay, guys, I just emailed him and said that the overwhelming majority of people just want reversed rejections at this point, and I explained why rejections can be a big deal. I also highly encouraged him to join MTC to communicate with everyone to get a good idea about how everyone wants it handled. I also informed him that most people will probably be far too scared to touch his new batch now, due to the mass rejection.

electrolyte @electrolyte I encouraged him to get in touch with you if he joins and has questions about how to best communicate with everyone. Sorry for all of the rejections, guys. Maybe it's not too late to get them reversed.

Thanks for your efforts! Yes, if he wants to join here, that'd be great. We can set him up with a requester thread for explanations and discussion.

Can you fix it before you give it back?
I'll do my best.
Yeah, sure. I'm not going to need it for a while.

I think this actually might've worked because I just noticed a Thing in my reading that led me to...but that can't be...it can't be that easy? Did I just effing find it in two seconds? Time to cross-check, I suppose.

Great News!!!! My hubby got the job at Bass Pro Shop!!!

:celebrate2::celebrate2::celebrate2:

While I love turking, I'm so thankful the bills aren't all on me anymore!!! Turk can definitely NOT support a family of 4! But I gave it my all, and with a few other side tricks I had up my sleeve we somehow survived :bode: Now I've just got to make it through the next few weeks until his paychecks start coming in and work on a plan of attack for all the debt that was accumulated through this mess.



I also want to take a min to thank all of the wonderful people on Mturk Crowd. You guys are such an amazing group and I am so lucky to be a part of the craziness here! Thank you to everyone that posted hits, humor, and words of encouragement through the tough times. Y'all helped me stay strong and focused so I could keep the lights on, food on the table, and even get a few small summer treats for my kiddos. I couldn't have done it without your help!! I keep sitting here trying to think of the perfect words to express my thanks, but I'm so overwhelmed with gratitude I'm truly at a loss for words that can express what I'm feeling. Just know that I consider y'all more than work friends, y'all are family!
