Greatest hits 11/4/12

i often check "other" and usually will just put "mixed" (i'm white and native) if "mixed" or "multi/biracial" isn't an option. I have, in the past, checked "Other" and written "Irish", "human", and "android", but never on a HIT.

 

Hi all, I'm new here. I decided to join after lurking for a few weeks. I was able to pass 1,000 HITs very quickly after following up on some of the good batches that were posted.

To quickly introduce myself: I'm a university student currently working on a combined BA/MA degree in philosophy. I use mTurk to help pay for food, electricity, gas, and whatever that's left over. I started turking October 6th and have made around $175 so far.

 

I'm feeling a little verchelmt, talk amongst yourselves, here, i'll give you a topic:

The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor Roman nor an empire, discuss.

Grape Nuts are neither grapes, or nuts, discuss.

 

I put the other box usually since I am Russian, and Russian do not consider themselves white. In most the world white is often considered to be "American."

 

Welcome to the board, glad to have you on and not lurkin

barbra... she's like buttah!

 

asdjaslkdjasklljdak!

 

How do you get the qual? I requested it. Does it take time for them to manually approve you?

 

bawwwwwbrraaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

 

I've requested it I dunno how many times. No response to emails. I've given up and enjoy the brief moments I get to see the other batch during the week.

 

Race and Nationality aren't the same thing.
I'm Russian-Hungarian, Irish, German, and Mexican. My "race"/ethnicity is Caucasian-latina. (sometimes they have Hispanic and non-Hispanic Caucasian options, but not often...) but my Nationality is American.

 

Hey Sas,
If you have a qual id check the transcripts and see if you've been assigned a job with your number.
If not contact Mary Ann or Priscilla. Mary Ann is Priscilla's assistant, she mainly assigns jobs and checks up on them. I hear Priscilla will be out of the office until Tues.
If your number matches you will be able to tap into the job.
FYI: The timer starts when you click on it and you usually have 7 days to complete.
If you need Mary Ann's email let me know
-K

 

No idea. They may not be accepting new workers for those hits. It happens sometimes.

 

i guess i really know nothing about this whole process, i just did the video qual and noticed today i have the 'myid' qual from them. no other contact about anything, though...

 

Hey sas,
Here's Mary Ann's email contact her. She'll get you up and running : maryann_mosley83@yahoo.com
Back to my tequila. I'm exhausted. LOL. Til tomorrow.

 

thanks!
i have to take a brief nap and forget about my sucky football team... be back in an hour or two...

 

If any of you did the HIT i posted earlier by collectivecreating that you had to accept on the hour and rated other turkers work... she should have already paid so be sure to leave a review on TO as she is a new requester

 

It's just that people from other countries often call themselves by nationality and when they speak talk about white people they speak of Americans, I challenge you to walk up to a german and ask them if they are white, they will reply "No, I'm German." same with Russians, I am a Russian citizen also. I also understand what you are saying too about race and nationality.

 

I know, I know =-)
(My family's also reaaaal big on how we're Russian-Hungarian and NOT Austrian-Hungarian! LOL)
But on the surveys, they're totally not the same thing. I get how non-American's would put that though. =-)

 

Checking in for today. Projected earnings a sad 3.25, a huge letdown after the firestorm of yesterday (over 18 bucks!!!).

Are Sundays always like this?
