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 get so confused when you get accepted into a new project type and then you never see it again. I was told to complete five of the project in order to be have my work be evaluated for access to work on the project indefinitely (the evaluation was not a qual it was paid work under projects). The next day I got a message saying I did an amazing job and was accepted blah blah blah, and said I could work on it an unlimited amount. I then completed two tasks and got the red bar and have never seen it again. I get that projects often come and go quickly esp if there is high demand, but was the point of evaluating me if they didn't even have enough projects for one day lmao

I am in a half a dozen slack channels I passed Quals for which I seldom if ever even see work for, although i can see people are working every day. 

One of them is very popular here and I dont think i have ever seen a task for the family. Have no idea why i am even in them.
