Lil Wayne.. that was a waste.

I'm at my computer nearly all day and normally have stuff up and running (hit catchers etc) so kind of all day? Idk I think I need to devote myself to learning how to focus this year. I mean I'm worlds away from where I was this time last year, but I definitely notice others work a lot faster than I do and it shows in goals and PE.

forget everyone else, just beat your own personal best.

PE: $40 if you count the 5 cents hit that supposedly gives a $10 bonus.

I'm actually curious to see if that one works out for you.

The way that was worded, I had to google to see if he died...

It's a new requester so who knows.

I love answering questions like "One should be careful to avoid extremes" with "neither agree nor disagree"

At least you made something today, I'm sitting at a cool 3.14.

Thank you

But I've got a little bit of a competition in me, so knowing others are doing better than I am lights a little bit of a fire under my ass.

d'oh sorry no i was just watching the 1/2 time show with him and Imagine Dragons. Sometimes I feel like musicians get thrown in just for the helluvit. Lil Wayne's piece of the show was just a waste of time.

Hello folks, I've got something to share regarding my suspension thread. I received this PM from a person who claims to work on the AMT team:

Hey there, I came across blog post around MTurk account suspension, and wanted to reach out and help with updating the list that you have. I work on the Amazon Mechanical Turk team and found that you're sharing a pre-defined list of individuals that Workers can reach out in case their account got suspended. Unfortunately, the list you have is outdated and I can help with the mos updated point of contacts.

I'm a bit skeptical about this since they said that without offering proof, but all I can do is wait until they message me back. What strikes me as odd is that the person read that I offer personal Amazon employee emails via PM, and seems to know the exact ones I have. So maybe they made an account in the past and PMed me pretending to ask for help so that I would give the addresses to them? Or maybe someone else I helped shared all those addresses with the support team for some reason? Who knows.

If this turns out to be legitimate, and I hope it does, I'll be sure to press them a bit about the suspension process as a whole. There's a pretty good chance they'll be checking my post history anyway, so maybe they will end up in the daily threads here and there.

And yes, the kinda bad english tells me they are probably a fake, but the support staff I've interacted with in the past weren't the best at it either.

Typically that's a good thing. I wouldn't mind learning some script stuff myself.

Very interesting. Maybe that would explain why none of those people ever emailed me back.

It would be neat if we managed to get someone from Amazon to say hi to us in some other form than suspending us. There's a few things that interest me in what they said, mainly that my emails are outdated. A lot of the people I give those to message back a day or two later and say they got the suspension removed. Who knows if they actually do anything? My theory is that they do, but the people behind them are starting to get annoyed some random person got their email and is asking to get their suspension removed... so maybe they sent someone out to find the source? I'm also tired and feeling a bit tin-foily, so that might be the better explanation..

Also, is there some blog out there that c/ped my thread?
