02/11 - Money Monday!

[Kennedy]

quik, leave while he's gone

It's gross outside! I have to stay in here and complain!

 

[Kennedy]

Are you feeling better today?

Oddly, a little more worn out than yesterday, but I guess as long as it is in a general positive direction I know I'll have ups and downs for a week or two.

 

[Kennedy]

I'm going to finish my taxes sometime this week. Normally done by now, but the results were so disappointing I just kind of quit on it.

 

[GTR]

hrmm, just noticed the key is not working on my keyboard

 

[Skylycat]

There's a requester with the last name Butts and I giggling entirely too hard. Either I'm too sleepy or I'm actually a ten year old boy trapped in a woman's body!

Get your shit together William.

I did the same thing. Saw I owed money and just decided to not finish.

Glad you're moving in the right direction. Love that you always seem to have a positive attitude.

I think this poll would work better as a HIT. I'm relying on you kind people to do free labor first, though.

I'm interested in seeing if suspensions come in roughly equal numbers for people with Masters vs. without. I think Masters might come in a bit less frequently, if nothing else since Amazon touts them as being ultra high quality workers and such.

There was a $7k difference for us. I did expect about $5kish difference because of a choice of mine last year. Was not expecting the rest, and it appears the new tax laws forked us. We have gotten a similar amount back for years, so that is the only real difference.

I'm about to throw back a $4 HIT by Nasreddine El-Dehaibi

Just a heads up it mentions nowhere that the HIT is in another language so beware. It looks like Vietnamese or something and google cant auto translate the page. It asks you to highlight reviews, and the first review as in another language. You cant skip any questions.

Mine was only $200 but going from always getting a few hundred back to having to pay sucked. Obviously the extra money from doing mturk was worth it though.

Yes, that also didn't help things, lol.

I just did that one, too. Except I'm submitting it. I wrote them about it, and if I get a reject then I do. Looked like some weird Latin to me.

I think that hit is broken, the text is like a default text you see when you're making or testing a web page

Normally I would return something like that, but today I'm kind of foggy. Perhaps he will send me a working one as a make-up. Last time I got a reject the requester kept the reject, but made me a new hit so I could get the money. Not exactly what I wanted. Anyway, moral of the story I probably should be mad at myself 50% for this one if it rejects.

I just marked the first review (all of it) which is in a different language as not relevant and kept going.
