    :clap: That's always scary when you find out the others got a code and you didn't. Glad that worked out.

    Yep! Had another one yesterday that gave a message at the end saying I didn't qualify or had missed something but I submitted anyway with a message. I feel that if you are going to boot me, boot me right when whatever happens happens. If you let me get all the way through the survey first, I will always submit.

    Hiya, jenni. I'm alright, how about you?

    I'm about to go for a cold walk before I get back to work. Up to anything fun tonight?

    OK, I am bored, so a strange hypothetical question for you: how much is a rejection worth?

    Imagine a requester put up a HIT with the title "This HIT will be immediately rejected but you will immediately get a bonus of $x to compensate." TO has a thousand reviews saying the requester did exactly what he said, rejected and paid a bonus, so you are sure it is "legit". The HIT has nothing to do except click the submit button.

    How much would $x have to be for you to take the rejection?

    Me, I wouldn't hesitate for $5. (I'd probably be asking "can we do more than one?" lol)

    For a dollar, not worth the irritation factor.

    Somewhere in the middle, say $3, I'd dither. :)

    That's a good one. I hate rejections. Like a black mark on my life. Probably would go with $10.

    Probably depends how much you hate rejections or care about them.

    Do I get to leave a cathartic, scathing review on TO about the HIT and the rejection?

    Yeah, there's another one. How much extra does a requester have to pay to get me to use my phone? 15 minutes/$2 is not exactly spectacular to start with and I am so damn slow on the phone....

    Also more often than not they piss me off because there is no real reason it HAS to be done on a phone... and this requester does love the writing.

    This is another thing they'd have to give me $20 for.

    I cracked under the financial pressure and accepted it. Never been so relieved to see this:

    Thank you for working on our HITs! Unfortunately, all of the remaining HITs in this project have been reserved for other workers, and there are none left for you to do. Please check again tomorrow for more HITs to be available. (You must click the "Return HIT" button now to return this HIT.)

    My cheapass phone with only 8 GB of storage doesn't help. It is a constant battle to stop it from filling up with google crap, LG crap and T-Mobile crap. Got to the point a while back that I couldn't install any apps at all -- it was full of useless crap that couldn't be deleted despite me only having a small number of simple apps of my own installed. I'd move things to the SD card but every time it updated them it'd move them back.

    Ended up doing a factory reset to get back to a usable phone again. But then I had to upgrade android to be able to use a non-relic version of Chrome and now every time I look it is trying to update shit, despite me setting everything I can find to don't-update.
