09/13 - Swell Sunday!

So in a book I read about mining prospects, called "The Greatest Prospector In the World" it talked about the importance of taking a Sabbath - that is taking a day every week to just chill, baby. Just chill.

I started subscribing to this feature on the regular.

 

Yes, I think you're right. I've been in the middle of the Oregon wildfire evac thing for a while and it's pretty stressful (haven't had to evac yet, thank God, just could at any moment). I think turking is actually helping because it's a good distraction. But yeah, I'm not my best self right now.

 

It's totally worth a read:

One of my best friends got evacced from Butt Falls. :/

 

That's how I feel about myself right now, too. lol

 

It's an absolute mess. Completely out of the norm for most of us. No plans, no idea, little information. Just weird.

How is your friend doing? Safe? Any word on his house and stuff yet (most people have no idea yet)?

 

glad we are in agreement!

 

She and her family are holed up in a safe house owned by her employer. NO word on their place or what not.

If you don't already, get a bug out bag ready to go.

 

Since Wednesday, sitting by the door. I feel like I'm living out of a suitcase in my own home right now. Have the evac plan and contingencies. Just so weird.

 

I feel ya. You're in my thoughts. May your home be unscathed.

Pros:
Actually enjoyed the game, and the bonus is nice.

Cons:
At the end when it exited out of the game and went to the final survey the survey was a bit bugged and was really small/cut-off and would not resize. Was still doable though.

Catchability: Okay (HIT Last Seen: 16 minutes ago)
Qualifications: Shepherd DoesNotExist ; Total approved HITs >= 1; HIT approval rate (%) >= 66;

I messaged him last night about how the Quality checks don't match the new questions/attention checks and he responded with this:

Thanks for the feedback. I'll adjust the pay and fix the trapping question.

I also mentioned how tripling the work and making the pay 60 cents was a bad move, and no one wants to work for that cheap, so I'm glad they raised it to $1 but still....36 audio checks x10-13 seconds each, with mandatory retesting at 1 hr intervals which takes a long time, ehhh not sure it's worth it even at a buck.

 

I'm reminded by Twitter that it si suicide prevention month.

so reach out to your peeps. check on them. Make sure they're mentally healthy.

Don't put the onus on the sick.

its def not, when you think about it, this is effectively tripling the work of the 60c hits for only like 1.5x the pay. i like doing these when they work cause i can get a decent quick hourly on them, but lately between the "fake" other versions and rejections, these hits are becoming crap
plus the AC trips are totally broken. i tested like 5 and all broken.

 

Hey, peeps. If anybody did the "Answer a Survey about Lifestyle and Personality (10 Minutes)" HIT by Metin Bektas yesterday and you haven't been paid yet, contact him. He's been paying out but is having a bit of trouble doing so and wants to make sure he doesn't miss anybody.
