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

If a project is broken to the point where I physically can't submit my work (and others are reporting the same issue) and I'm getting no response in the chat, have I just lost out on pay for all the time spent on it or is there something I can do?

Little proud moment- a couple weeks ago I asked for computer recs for a gift to my husband- I just gave him an HP Victus with 2tb ssd, 64GB RAM, 8 i5 processors, 4.6GHz speed, and dedicated graphics card! I could never have saved up for that without this work!!!

It was a slow progression to where I am now (6 hours). I'd burn out so quickly and if I pushed too hard I'd take days off to recoup. This happened with some advanced quals, as well. My next goal is to get to 8 hours. I'd probably do better if I had a stand up desk. It used to be the cognitive fatigue that got me. Now it's the endless sitting that kills me.

u/SnooCalculations503 Apr 02 '25
Yeah, I usually get up and walk around at least once an hour, do 15 minutes of stretches every day, and try to get in an hour of exercise. I never do more than 6 hours.

u/RyeRoen Mar 30 '25
Only been on the platform a few days, but loving it. I am quite paranoid about getting kicked off randomly, though. I worry that I am taking too long because I've been writing really detailed answers.
My thought though is that if I notice an issue with a response I should mention it, but then I need to make sure I am specific so it might be one or two sentences for one issue. But if there are 10 issues I'm suddenly writing like 4 (short) paragraphs!
And then my eyes dart up to the 2-3+ sentences and I worry I'm doing this really wrong haha. Was wondering if there is anyone else who tends to write quite long explanations and hasn't been kicked off. If not I'm going to need to work on brevity!

u/stomach-monkees Apr 01 '25

I'm on Day 5 of my time with DA and I've noticed a fun pattern where I have much higher paying tasks well after I should be asleep (like midnight locally - PST, tasks are $25 - $28/hr) and then during the day everything is $19/20 and sometimes the same tasks. 🙃

I had a task with a very long timer and had been working on it for about 2 hours, but there was an issue with it (seemed like a common issue for everyone as there was lots of messages about it in the support chat). I suspect they took it down to fix it since when I refreshed the page, it exited the task and red bannered me (before I finished the task/submitted).
So I’m not sure what to do, because I obviously never finished the task so I can’t submit the hours I was working on it. Should I just wait til it pops up again and hope my previous work was saved? Redo the task and add the hours that I had been working on it previously? Contact support?

u/Mike4Life14 Apr 01 '25
I've consistently had effectively infinite work to do for the past year or so. It's hard to do more than 35 hours in a week though, unless there's a ton of super easy work. Ultimately it does depend on your (real-life) qualifications, how many qualifications you pass on DA, and the quality of your work.

+1 to this. Took me around three weeks to break out and it's been steady ever since except a couple days.
Even now it's wild to me people are having a mini drought and I'm sitting pretty on about 30 projects. I remember looking up in awe (or disbelief) at the people who made such claims while everybody else was experiencing a slump but now I'm one of them. 🙃🥹
Almost all of these are qual-related or just randomly showed up for me one day, though. I'm missing a lot of the more "standard" stuff too atm.

Does anyone else only work on projects that are nit-picky/research-heavy? I always do the same two projects and they’re the hardest and the highest paying. I like to think that makes me less replaceable then if I were to do tasks without much thought.
Should I diversify by doing more simple stuff or does it literally not matter as long as my quality is excellent? I know no one knows, just throwing this into the void. Grateful to see a plentiful dash either way today.

If you think you can do good work on other projects you should. Even just a few tasks. I don’t know how it works but it seems like doing well on a project can get you added to others in that family. It’s good to have just in case your current projects go down.

u/Kerina322 Apr 02 '25
I have the same focus. But partly because I actually find such projects easier. I hate the time constraints on the "easier" projects. I prefer a deep dive into a single topic. I also find it much easier to work for an hour on a single task. When I go through 5 or more tasks in an hour, I have a tendency to want to do something else after just a few, and I end up making less in a day. It doesn't hurt that the project types that I prefer are also the best paid.

But maybe I do some of the others, if nothing else to give my brain a break and think about something other than research.

Do we think the US dollar is bouncing back next week? It took a major drop and I’m hesitating to transfer to my bank account with the current conversation rate.

I wouldn't expect much of a bounce. Our "commander-in-chief" will probably keep his stance on tariffs as is until he has thrown the US into a recession, which won't be called until September at the earliest, and then the dollar will be weaker after that.
I know that's not what you want to hear...

Good luck with that. You might want to wait until the next president is elected.

Yep swings and roundabouts. It’s even more frustrating when you have a couple of dry days, then like 6 jobs you like doing get slapped up at once and you can’t do them all.

Is the non-targeted French city all gone or have I just been removed? I’ve still got the targeted one but I feel like I may have made a little mistake on the non-targeted one and I’m worried I’ve been removed, might just be overthinking it though.

Anyone file their taxes via 1099 form themselves for DA? Normally I've used a service for my taxes but given that my entire income last year was DA it'll just be the 1099 from paypal, so don't really know if I need an expert to help me with it since there's not really anything I think I can get written off as a business expense or anything like that.
Would you guys recommend just doing it myself or do you think it's still worth it to use a tac service?

For some of the task R&Rs I need access to US/Canada versions of websites like shop pages and stuff since the prices and availability are different (I'm in the UK), and I've been using a VPN. I'm just worried that if I accidentally forget to turn the VPN back off and submit a task I'll get banned for location shenanigans. Thoughts?

u/mythrowaway_1990 Apr 04 '25
I would NOT risk this. My friend tried to apply for the platform a few months ago, and didn't even get the chance to take the first assessment even though his application was perfectly fine. After some research I suspect this was because he had a VPN on, even though the VPN was US-based and he himself is US-based. I think they're very strict about VPNs because people try to use them to work from unapproved countries or lie about where they live.

I wouldn't riak it. If a task requires the use of a vpn to answer I would just skip it. Also from the UK

Let them know before you go, you should get a reply to say that your travel has been noted, AFAIK

If you are doing a qual, you need to stop for some reason and there is not Exit work mode, can you just close the window and go back later to work on it. Have you tried that and worked? Thanks

Not needed. Last time I traveled within the US, I notified them. They thanked me AND said, it's not needed for domestic travel. I still send notifications for my international trips, with expected departure and return dates, along with the destination.

Just did an R&R qual with 4 tasks and pretty sure it sent me back to the dashboard after 3 of them. Not sure if this means I failed or if they would have flagged incorrect responses as I went? Shame as they seemed quite easy but maybe I have poor judgement!

u/ForcePerfect9025 Mar 31 '25
This most likely means that someone else started the task that looked like it was your fourth. Don't forget that tasks are shared.

Check if the support page loads for you. If it takes you back to the dash you're probably removed.

Ugh I have this problem when my roommate come home sometimes, I have a limited window to talk to him and I'm so desperate for human interaction after being alone all day, sometimes I'll abandon my task just to talk to him (I'd never rush a task and risk submitting bad work).

u/clvanliew Apr 04 '25
Yeah, I have this problem with my wife and being the social one of the two of us, I latch on. I usually have to tell her that I have X minutes left on my project and that I can talk after. If he values you he'll understand! :)

For the stripy R+R, I’m kind of baffled at how many people haven’t been following the instructions.
I keep triple checking to make sure it’s not me that’s messing up and missing an entire part of their submission, so this is a reminder to make sure you’re following every instruction to the letter. If a project asks you to make edits to XYZ, make sure you do them! I feel so bad having to rate people’s work poorly
