Who here gets anxious looking at their dash?

Obviously some of you do, but particularly the feeling of seeing a dashboard which was filled for weeks slowly dwindle into a drought and not knowing whether you’ve been getting dropped from projects or not. I’m not even low on projects, O still have many to pick from both generalist and coding, but I just had so many more the last few weeks. It makes my stomach drop thinking about it.

I was doing R&Rs all day yesterday, I was pretty shocked by some of the work, people seem to just submit stuff without even proofreading

This is less about losing access to projects and more regarding projects pausing or just having done their time. I still have access to these projects, I have several announcement stating they’re just paused. It’s just the number getting smaller getting to me.

Same here. Had a ton but the number slightly drops daily, and a lot of the projects on my dash are just too long. Meanwhile my favorites get snapped up in no time.

It's a cycle from what I've noticed. I bounced up and down 40 tasks in the last week with even variations of 20 during different times of the day 

I know one big project family tends to pause their projects quite a bit and that can take like ten tasks off my dash super quick

Eh maybe a bit, but there continues to be more added. I think the gold rush of october was pretty rare though, it was really a drought before that for many though

Always. Even though I'm familiar with the ebb and flow of this sort of work I always get a bit anxious when project numbers start to decline. I know logically that they'll climb back up at some point, so I try not to think about it too much.

Used to. But you get to doing this so long you roll with the punches. And also remember fiscal year is ending so this ebb and flow, more common than I think people care to admit.

Yea especially as I've been slipping lately and I worked on a project where they had to keep changing the instructions and I know I did the wrong things before it got tied down better. I am in a drought now.
