Pinterest's excessive generosity today is making me quite .

Getting sent home from the hospital YAY!!! Sent a picture of my new partial beheading scar to my 16 year old and he thinks its awesome lol. Hoping to get caught up on sleep tonight so I can turk pretty solid while I'm bedbound the next few days! SOOO glad to be getting out of here!

Wait, clearly I haven't been paying attention. Are you okay? Did you time travel and accidentally get off with her head-ed?

I tried my best TBH. oh well.

Its possible that this requester couldn't write a set of quality instructions if his life depended on it. Its also possible that this issue has happened once or twice before on MTURK.

I think they were decent instructions, just some people do things better than others. Like those awful PI something or others that everyone loved and I couldn't pass the qual test for the life of me.

Surprisingly upbeat for someone who was beheaded.

Only partially, anyone would be chipper after that considering the alternatives.

I've had that happen. A hit everyone seems to do so easy but my head just won't work the way they want it done. all you can do is move on.

This. I can't remember the requester but it is one most people love and do a lot of when they post. I've tried the qual hit like 4 times now and just CANNOT pass. I don't know wtf I'm doing wrong, but after the last try I gave up and figured it was not the hit for me.

I thought he said something like only 50% were passing anyway? Or am I totally off...My point is, that it's kind of subjective. He even says that he basically wants you to think the way he does and could take the qual away if it starts seeming like you don't. Seems like a nice enough requester though.

We're planning on having a similarly-sized batch going up tomorrow (afternoon probably), too.

I've reached the point where I should do more to make up for my mediocre Monday (that should be a thread title if it hasn't been already) but I'm past daily goal so it's hard to give a damn

lol

his instructions aren't black/white because the task isn't black/white. he wants the task done is his specific way, with his specific line of thinking.

a reasonable English speaker should be able to pass at the very least.

Short of being him I'm not shocked if most scores of people who pass are 83-88. Getting 95-100 is unreasonable, and I'm sure his data shows that. But i'm up to being proven wrong.

today and yesterday were far too good.

looks like tomorrow is going to be dead, with the exception of

I have some cheap wrist braces I bought at walmart, when my wrists act up I wear those for a couple hours/days and it seems to help. I think @themildone had a fancy mouse she was recommended the other day but I don't remember what it was called.

@micky I got this one, which is the exact one my doctor recommended. This alone almost entirely eliminated my pain (I didn't even end up taking the steroids I was prescribed)

Getting a qual taken away is a seriously bad thing isn't it? Like getting blocked from a requester or am I confused?
