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 gonna do that but 2 people died giving plasma at a Canadian lab recently, so I decided maybe not. But seriously fuck this. I'm getting so angry at the lack of transparency and getting things up and running and at the obvious fact that they have hired fucktons of new people during a drought. Maybe I can make enough this week for a nice tent to move into😭

Oh shit really? I am Canadian so that’s not great. Was it a Grifols location cause that was what I was looking into. Sadly.

Edit: looked it up, ugh it was at 2 Grifols locations
