    Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

    You've received a bonus from UMICH RESEARCH for work related to 25Z1XERSQV66YML8UQUH3WAVP68915.
    The value of your bonus is: $0.40 USD

    The Requester included this note:
    Bonus for careful task completion. Thanks!

    Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!

    Apparently, I'm careful, but only worth $0.40. I feel so damn cheap right now. :)

    I tried so hard to quickly come up with a witty comeback, and I just couldn't do it...

    Damn you of the existential screen name!

    Hey everybody. I'm new, none of you know me, but I wanted to hop in here and try and get started with some daily convo/banter.

    After a week of $120+ days (6 in a row), I was kind of depressed and bored today. Actually just took the opporotunity to watch a couple movies I wanted to, and hope that my fav requester is back tomorrow.

    Just one thing I wanted to say, I saw some people mentioning the MSM IT task and just wanted to say I did one, despite the horrible rating they have, to see what it was like. Just one HIT, did it perfectly (as the terrible instructions asked). It was rejected within 5 minutes. Gave me a reason, and I just so happened to still have the product page open on a tab, looked and sure enough what they rejected it for was incorrect. Glad I only did one.

    Just one more thing, for those of you that were hoping Matt will be back with HIT's... I have been in email contact with him on and off about a few things, and he told me there are "plenty more HITs on the way" and that the project was far from being complete. So that is exciting to me, as I'm sure it is for some of you. Wish I knew more requesters like him because I am driving myself up the wall trying to focus on transcription work today.

    Gonna go find a few surveys to do for amusement I guess. Happy new year everybody.

    Ohhh and one question I had.. I saw somebody mentioned that they hoped Matt would be back with hits tomorrow, and said something about changes to the task. What did you mean by that? Just wondering because I have done parts of every batch released including on x-mas and yesterday (new years eve) and didn't think there was any issues with it. Only thing I noticed was that the community colleges are MUCH harder to find emails for, but found a pretty easy way to do so Just wondering why someone mentioned a change to the task.

    There are just too many directions to take it.

    ...seemingly naive Alyosha is an answer to worldly Antoine's random flailing about. So it's more 'anti-existential' than anything. Even though that doesn't really make sense if we're going to be strict about it.

    Damn you of the understated screen name!

    Just an FYI, I did 15 MSM IT hits, 14 have been approved already with "Great work, thank you :)" as feedback.

    Just curious, why do you risk it? I'd rather do url ranking for google for crowflower/source before I would risk my approval rating for a requester with an incredibly low TO score. It's just not worth it to me.

    I had some pretty good survey's posted up around page 9 and I think 15 I'll see if I can't find them for you....

    2 lazy 2 keep looking. This is the far better of the two on page 12 near the top. The other should be between 13-30 good luck.
