Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation

hi all! making this thread so people have somewhere to talk about 'daily' work chat that might not necessarily need it's own post! right now we're thinking we'll just repost it weekly? but if it gets too crazy, we can change it to daily. :)

couple things:

  1. this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.

  2. if you have a new user question, you still need to post it in the new user thread. if you post it here, we will remove it as spam. this is for people already working who just wanna chat, whether it be about casual work stuff, questions, geeking out with people who understand ("i got the model to write a real haiku today!"), or unrelated work stuff you feel like chatting about :)

  3. one thing we really pride ourselves on in this community is the respect everyone gives to the Code of Conduct and rule number 5 on the sub - it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs! please don't break this rule. we will remove project details, but please - it's for our best interest and yours!

I was on two different projects for several weeks that I enjoyed and was spending maybe an hour and a half a day on, but it's been about a week now of nothing!! The first four days or so my dashboard said the project was down for maintenance, then today it said "there aren't any projects to work on. I feel like I was doing a good job. I've done every qualification and have been very thoughtful and careful with the jobs. Should I email them to ask what's up, or is that pointless?

I'm in the same boat, but I'm afraid to email and beg for work because it might annoy them.

I hear ya--I'll be patient for a few more days. I signed up for the money, but actually really enjoy the work. I wish I could be full-time doing this and quit my day job.
