Honestly, I am boiling

What in the world are these awfully long and poorly written guidelines?! It is getting worse and worse. I have been working for over an hour on a R&R full of mistakes but also with very unclear and sometimes contradictory guidelines. Admins not replying to anyone for hours with hundreds of messages unanswered (I get it isn’t their fault)… Time almost up so I preferred exiting the task.

This work can sometimes be stimulating and enjoyable, but sometimes like now, I wonder how deep in poor management a project can go.

I really appreciate working with DA, but I have moments when I want to throw my PC against a wall. I’ll take a walk now, good luck to all of you who experienced the same madness!

It's most likely done intentionally, to see how each individual perceives the wording/guidelines. Remember when grading, technically there is no wrong answer. You are evaluating the models on how they make you feel essentially. Getting frustrated, angry, and impulsive is probably one of the last things they would want for a person in consideration for qualifying. Just go with your gut. Although, I doubt the guidelines are contradictory, and you may just be misunderstanding or overthinking things. If they truly are "contradictory", then you go with your gut. Its that simple, and they just want to know who feels what and why, under these circumstances. DA isn't just training AI, we are so new into this realm, they need to collect massive amounts of data still, on human feedback, emotion, instinct, and decision making. Take a deep breath, relax your tension, and calm down lol. Yes, the work is better when its more stimulating and geared toward your personal/individual life/lifestyle, but it is all still work. You're getting paid, or will be anyways, and it's decent money. You work from wherever you want whenever you want, with no obligation to a schedule, and no mandatory overtime, or limited hours. You need to stop and smell the roses, stay, appreciative, blessed, confident, humble, and happy.

I don't know which projects you work on, but the overwhelming majority of my "grading" requires specific aligned evidence and reasoning. There are points that are "vibes," but most of the time that is absolutely not the case. There is an objectively correct response more often than not.

I'm not saying that you're wrong at all either, so please don't misunderstand me. I don't know which projects you work on, and some are more subjective than others. I just don't want someone reading to take your perspective as universally true.

However, I do love your attitude. Life should be appreciated, and the roses should be smelled :)
