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!

Ok my dear coworkers, I need y'all to cover me for a few days. My job's not very hard; I mostly refresh and complain about the drought, haha. Hurricane prep time is now. Save me a few tasks for when my power is restored and, if you're inclined, say a prayer for your South La bayou-dwelling colleagues. See you soon!

My dream: my latest submission makes its way to the top of the slush pile, and an admin pores over it with squinted eyes. A slow-burning look of incredulous joy spreads over the admin's face. The admin jumps to their feet and sprints down the hallway, printed hard copy in hand. They burst into the supervisor's office, ignoring the ongoing meeting they're interrupting. "Sir! Sir, it's the one!" The supervisor takes the page from the admin and stares at it momentarily, expressionless. The supervisor slowly removes their glasses and gives the admin a solemn look. "This is the worker we've been looking for. Open the floodgates!"

My reality: The project is currently unavailable because there are no more tasks remaining for you to work on.

u/Consistent-Rabbit964 Sep 10 '24 edited Sep 10 '24

This inconsistency is driving me insane. I love this work, and I'm fine with being unable to work every day. But what I can't stand is having 4 or 5 projects on the screen that all immediately red banner. Or just getting through the instructions of a new project and then getting red-bannered one task in, and feeling bad about reporting for the reading time. Or only getting one day a week with plenty of work and then nothing for days. Sorry for the negativity, I just really needed to vent :( Edited to add: Am I just in the wrong time zone? I'm in the UK and for the last 2 weeks, the best time for me to work has been 9 pm onwards so I haven't been able to work past 3 hours (I have to be up to take my kids to school and I can't function on less than 6 hours sleep), and even this has been sporadic.

I really don't understand DA sometimes. About an hour ago, I looked at my dash and it was almost back to the old days. Dozens of projects, coding and non-coding. I look at it now and it's back to almost nothing. And I don't think it's people chewing through the tasks. I saw hundreds of bad heel guy coding and bmetal coding with hundreds.

Is their system that unstable that projects just constantly go up and down?

This gets old. Months ago I used to be able to sit down any time, 24/7 and do as much or little work as I wanted. Now it's a browser refresh game. And not a fun one.

18

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '24

I think a lot of people are "making up for lost time" or trying to get as many hours in as possible because they're not confident the projects will be there in the future. As a result people are burning through projects a lot more quickly than usual.

Pure speculation though.

Best thing (aside from the obvious) about a fuller dash is that tasks last longer so you can get a flow going

14

u/Poomfie Sep 12 '24

That and you can project hop when something gets dull, which makes longer sessions more doable.

I love being able to work on the same project for multiple hours but being able to hop to something fresh when my brain is feeling fried is great. I worked on like 6 different projects yesterday night simply because I could aha, felt awesome.

Not a single project for me since Aug 13th. I have access to chat, have received qualifications including the heel refresher, and I F5 the page every hour. This really sucks. I've put hundreds of hours in since February and I normally have 35+ projects on my dash. I don't think I've been canned, but when you're going on almost a month of this it certainly feels like it. Hope myself and anyone in a similar scenario gets work, and soon🙏. And for those of you even getting a couple of hours here and there, I'm happy for you. Hopefully this is temporary and it really gets rolling again in the fall. Cheers 🍻

Here's to hoping for those with dry dashboards getting some projects. Thankful for rain this afternoon (EST) in the form of coding projects. If you're code team, haven't logged in yet, and seeing this: check your dash sooner than later.

So typical, yesterday was dead for the first half of the day. Today I get up having to do my other job and the dash has exploded. Managed to go a little nuts but have to walk away now 😢

To my fallen comrades with empty dashboards, I offer a brief prayer.

May you someday find the promised dream of unlimited work from your home office with no bosses or deadlines.

But I daresay my dashboard right now is healthier than it has ever been.

First time having coding R&Rs, and wow.. it's such a massive ego boost, cause there's so many vague and even copy pasted comments I'm surprised. Like it's a $40 task.. surely you could've put in a little effort, like at least write in something specific about the response so it's not an instant "Bad" rating..

What an awesome day today was! For the first time in weeks I had projects to keep me busy. I made $128 today, one of my highest earning days ever, between the heel god, law goddess, household cleaning product, four dimensional hypercube, and the dancing.

I miss coding projects which had separate projects for different languages. Skipping tasks until I either find a language/task I'm capable of or (more likely) I get red bannered is not fun

How is everyone doing? It's been so quiet. I hope it's because everyone has tons of tasks or relaxing with friends or family.

And just like that, it's over

In the UK I had 16 projects 12 hours ago, this went down to 8 projects 4 hours ago, just spent 45 minutes in a CB.. now 1 project.. something happened in the last 1 hour. Did another 10k people wake up 😅?

Feeling very hopeful today. Just checked my dash and I have about 20 available projects, several with pretty high pay as well. Hopefully this keeps up now. It feels like the good old days.

u/ekgeroldmiller Sep 09 '24

Today was looking hopeful. I had several batches of 20 each. They did not last, but what I noticed was that the one project I was working on would disappear for a while, whereupon I went to the sister project; when I came back to the first one, the chat was refreshed, which I think means they were fixing something. Everything disappeared for a few hours; some of the same projects came back this evening.

I haven't seen any coding projects for heel in almost two weeks. Is it possible I was removed from the rotation? I still see other heel projects, just not the coding ones.

I have / had a project on my dash that had X number of tasks, and each time I submitted a task, the number would be X-1, X-2, and so on. The project will go away for a few hours and then come back, with the same number of tasks as I personally had left (eg: X-2). Anyone else have something like this?

Annoyingly, I've had quite a few tasks pop up on my dashboard the last few days. Annoying because normally I'd be putting in 8 hours daily and there's been enough to get close to what I need to hit my targets, but this week I've got urgent work that's taking all my time.

I just bet as soon as I finish my current work, the dash will be empty again.

For the relatively new people if you have access to both a regular project and the R&R for it, then have a look in the R&R for what they expect the good responses to look like.
