Where Dem HITs At? 06/03 Symbiotic Skimpy Sly Saturday

Its not as fun as you think.

 

Way to go frood! The heat has about done my entire garden in. My poor little squash plants are hanging on by a thread.

 

I really wish CopyText was still looking at their quals.

 

However, it not Heather bad. So, there's that.

 

Cattergate Update: The cat will approach me, and even rub against my legs, or my arm if I'm sitting down outside, but doesn't like it when I reach for him. (Finally got close enough to figure out it was a him). Like he's content to be near me, but if I try to pet him he runs off. So, still skittish, but not incredibly so. We're making progress!

 

Yep, first thing that's been ready. My first grape tomato is starting to show some color, so wont be long there!

Oh no, that stinks! My worry this year has been too much rain. Hope you (and your garden) get some relief soon!

They never learn.

 

It's always astounded me that they never have an option for apathetic. That's my mood 98% of the time. I don't get excited about much, except maybe biscuits.

 

Only think I don't like on the Campbell jury HITs is there are sometimes some really obscure memory checks. Minutiae completely irrelevant to the case. You want me focusing on the case or memorizing trivia?

It's not really a problem if you know it is coming, but annoying regardless.

 

Really? I didn't have any of those on the last Cambell jury HIT I did. It only memory checked me on the major facts of the case.

 

I've written to a few of the requester who use this and asked that they change to to "make up a time..." I think people would feel a little better about writing complete bullshit, and maybe put them into a better state of mind.

 

Yea. I think the a/c's used to be much worse than they have been in the past few I did for him. He also seems to post a lot on weekends when it's much slower, so the pay scale seems even better relative to what else is out there.

 

I've had things like "how many of the 8 people were under age 15?" When some were 13 and some 16.

Had one once that could only be answered by studying one of the photos provided in some detail. Answer was nowhere in the text.

In neither case did the information mean anything in terms of the case.

 

That's not a bad idea. I've sometimes had them ask for something that should be positive. But if you have to think back more than a decade to find an instance then it is just depressing.

Or the one that asked me to write about the last time I was at work and didn't interact with many other people. My job IS interacting with other people. A non-interacting day is a day off. I literally told them about a day in 1993 when I had a different job. I was somewhat sarcastic. Didn't get rejected. lol

 

I think he will approve you so long as you get a certain number of them right, not all. That's what is written on the consent form as of now.
