03/04 - Five for Fighting Friday!

[hyway]

Judging by the amount of pages on todays thread. Im assuming its either really good and everyone is busy making that money. Or its really bad and everyone is depressed.

why not both?

 

[Princess Gina Marie]

maybe I was too busy turking like a fiend?

There's nothing to do

I like your attitude! I always check 4. My income from all sources is above the median for the US (for my family size), however when I compare myself to close friends, who came from a very similar background as me, I look like I'm living on Skid Row. I know I'm not, but in comparison to them we don't have much. Your post is making me reconsider how I judge myself on those ladders! Mebbe I need to jump my little family up a rung.

I always go 5, because it talks about money and stuff but it also mentioned influence. I feel like I'm doing alright financially and we have a house and food and all that good stuff, but our general level of influence is pretty low.

I just had cake for breakfast for the second day in a row, and I feel so adult.

yeah, that whole influence thing. Because of my job and the fact that I do get to decide people's housing fate, I probably have more influence than I give myself credit for in my small city.

Ok, I gotta start doing 5. I'm a five. A solid 5!

(next goal: become a solid 6).

10k hits no rejections Michael Collins first rejection.... worked on the hit like an hour got survey codes it had two parts. submitted, thought I would be upset but I worked hard, not salty
he included this

on the actual hit he wrote:

Worker did not complete all of the games and survives required to complete this HIT. Worker will receive any bonus payment they might have earned during the games that they did play.

very strange

I looked at his To's after of course
question why is the requester allowed to hide certain TO's ?

Thinking about where everyone is in life right now it making me feel all nostalgic about where I started in life and where I am now. I need to eat my feelings away.

That name is a blast from the past. I think it was a lot of people's first.

The requester has no control over TO reviews.

Reviews can be hidden if they violate the rules of Turkopticon, such as using the scales incorrectly or insulting other workers/requesters.

I always check 6 - but I want to check 7 (I don't because I think they'll look at my income and just shake their heads and assume I'm delusional or stupid).

I guess I feel much more stable than my lack of income indicates - and I should add here, we live well below the poverty line at this point. I think it's just that I have my degrees and I've worked. I feel like this situation will change. I've felt quite hopeless at times for sure - and when I read about people I went to school with doing well (nothing hits your self-esteem than people you considered less smart/talented winning a major award and seeing their picture all over the news or getting their book on Bitlit, I HATE that........sigh). But I know that 'if I ever get out of here' I'll find a job and get back on my feet. I may never get the kind of money or riches that I would have wanted (as a kid . But I'll work a reasonable job and help people (I like what I do, when I'm doing it).

So, 6 it is

I always check 6, too. I'm not exactly rolling in money, but I have a college degree, a roof over my head and a decent car (partially bought with turking funds, thank you very much ).

It's easy to be envious of people who have more money, but honestly, I'm better off than a lot of people.
