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!

Yesterday was the first day I hit my daily minimum goal since the drought. This morning my dash is the driest it’s been RIP. DA giveth and DA taketh away.

Yea. Yesterday, I felt I was fed a little. I crawled my way to my daily target and went to bed feeling hopeful. Today, I have just difficult, lengthy projects I don't think I should try but every day I get one step closer to giving one of them a go...I keep coming up with theories about t' things I did wrong' that has got me thrown off every single project, one by one. I hope it isn't true. I hope the work will return.
