05/22 - Meerkat Monday!

i apparently got this email too, are these something I should be excited about?

It's x8, so most likely. Whatever helps you shake off the emo, yo.

yea but if these are people's work i am very scared cuz they are horrible .. I do agree with you though it does seem like that.

Same, these are pretty terrible. I am confused as to whether or not to mark n/a next to title if one field has the title and the next has the other details though. I got excited when these went up, but now my brain just hurts.

I'm pretty sure we're reviewing automated results. Workfusion is an AI company. It's hard for me to believe someone could pass the qual and then produce these kinds of results.

That's a really good point, and even though I've seen incredibly questionable things from workers in other review hits, I hope you're right. Still, I wish the instructions were written more clearly. It looks like they just added the paragraph about marking n/a to the top of the instructions for the qual hits, which is no help at all.

the verify business location x8 hits and all the related ones to that suck though, i've done 1 of them ever. I'm not a masochist like @C to the J
and the emo may or may not be gone on Tuesday, we'll find out soon

Not everyone will be able to do them quickly... but it is usually fairly good hourly consistently for a little under a week. All the work is performed off of turk, so no dealing with daily caps, pres, etc.

Calendars are very repetitive and are okay in the beginning but once they get a week or so in it gets pretty bad because all the easy ones are gone.

 

[Bode "Emo Barry" Miller]

good, this all sounds like the making of another batch I have a qual for that I won't do

^ this is why I said for under a week. I usually nope out on day 3 or 4

Hmmmmm... you still got a LITTLE bit of emo left in there.

Easy as heck and $20+/hr.
Never understood why you don't like them.

Well I hope that Tuesday treats you well. We all miss our bright, optimistic, ever-sunny Bode.

In regards to the calendar hits, I remember them being pretty freaking decent until near the end. They're like a summer romance where you hang out a few days and then ghost completely by the fourth or fifth day; all sparks and sensation, followed by the usual self-hatred and loneliness thereafter.

That last part is my favorite part about them.

same reason I lost my Vacation qual due to inactivity before they opened it back up to everyone again, even though I could have made bank with those based on everyone's PE
I don't like work in general

@Bode "Emo Barry" Miller don't let them shame you into doing vastly underpaid batches, for $20 an hour I can't even pay the salary of one of my 3 butlers and only half the salary of the orphan stable boy that takes care of my horses. We deserve better than that.

That's why I mentioned it, I like working off mturk once in a while... change of scenery to the typical computer work I do. I'll meet you in the living room when the calendars go live... you take care of coffee and the snuggies, I'll get the beer and pizza. We can use the couch to make a fort.

Hey! I'm not an orphan. You kidnapped me because I saw you hiding in the sewer and you offered me tickets to see Eminem live.
