I'll probably get rejected and cry.
I was pretty teary on my first rejection - and to be honest, I'm careful about that. But I think that some rejections are a good thing - IF you have enough padding, rejections just mean that you are willing to take some calculated risks. Most risks on mturk turn out okay - so getting rejections means that you are looking and trying to find hits and experimenting a bit.

Of course, that kind of attitude comes with padding - get your numbers up. My last rejection was with a sketchy requester and when I got it, it moved my percentage down to.......well, it didn't move it at all. I'm still very firmly at a 'fake' 100%. So, I looked at the rejection and thought - well, they're just a jerk - and then moved along.

Get your # of hits up and then it's all water under the bridge (unless you're YAHU @YAHU - since even a little water - for him - would be a tsunami :wink:

Please send help...or fire.

That's my bedroom window. I'm gonna go die now.
I volunteer a fair amount of my time doing maintenance and repairs of the old wooden playground equipment at my kid's preschool which is in a semi-wooded area. All of tools are kept in an old tool shed that's loaded with spiders (and possibly evil spirits).

I no longer get worked-up over encountering spiders... unless a situation involves greater than 5 black widows raining down on me at once, or it involves some sort of black widow/snake or black widow/scorpion combo.
