03/12 - Thundering Thursday!

That's why it's the one on top, because we're better than you.

 

I did not consent to your state being in this position. Please prepare to be sued.

 

I'm going to see if I can single-handedly cause a spike in delinquent airbnb hosts.

"How did they catch us, Martha?"
"Well George, apparently they cancelled sports and some psycho with no time on his hands found that wanted ad you put in the paper for a used sprinkler you just HAD to have."
"You weren't complaining when little Billy was playing with it in the summer"
"Don't you bring Billy into this!"
"I want a divorce!"

I'm already losing my mind, this is bad.

 

How's the work today?

What the heck kind of on-topic question is that?

 

Good so far. I am trying to get my completed HITs number up right now.

 

We were supposed to work today?

 

Somebody's gotta do it.

Curious if it got slow yet from all the desk workers getting sent to remote status.

 

You can't contain me @ChrisTurk. I will infect everyone!

(please don't ban me from the daily)

 

Judging by the rate at which they're spamming my scraper, that shouldn't be an issue for those who have the paid stalker qual.

 

Sounds good! Were you reading the recent conversations or already knowledgeable about the 'balancing act' involved?
A great thing to get the numbers up, but going 'hog wild' can be too much of a gamble!

 

I am mostly doing HITs that are easy and should not cause much issue. I think anyway.

 

What's your count now?

 

Just make sure you're working for a vetted requester. Doing small penny hits for numbers isn't necessarily a bad thing, but some people don't value their time very much or make the mistake of doing hits for shady requesters.

 

I pretty much let my account go dormant for a while as I had other things to do. Right now I have about 1700 approved HITs. I know that is pretty small overall.

 

That makes sense. I do try to check and look up information about requestors first.
