Minor heart attack after I started to do the qual hit that was posted today. Got a message saying that my access was denied and that I had to register the account. I pressed back and tried to accept again, and that time it went through.

Oh, Mturk...

what qual hit

 

[Jharkan]

actually, no, I'm not waiting.
I should already be in bed
gotta get up early for jury duty

 

[Zenophanes]

I wish 'masters exists' was the first thing shown on a hit, then i could just glide by it with my eyes. Or maybe they need some kind of fancy pants top hat and monocle imagery so us scrubs know to avert our eyes from our betters.

Probably how it went. I was a member for a few years. It was nice when it first opened, then it was like they didn't plan on maintaining anything and the equipment went to shit. I went to one in the nice part of town once and it was nicer.

yeah man I feel you on that, I actually just had to switch gyms because of the same problem, I mean the cable machine at my old gym was broken for like a month straight, missing free weights that were never replaced and just other questionable and borderline unnacceptable stuff. I switched to planet fitness because its a brand new gym and its a $10 membership compared to what I was paying for broken machines.

It's just the one Jharkan posted earlier. Probably not that worth it to me as I'm slow as shit at writing:

then after the sentence writings are over, the judgement hits are like 3-6¢ (I forget) and you literally one click them, 'does the sentence apply to both sets of images'[/QUOTE]

oh
she puts 60 minute timers on her hits, so you can complete them without feeling rushed
they really take about a minute each, if you can find something quickly that excludes two sets
but the judgement hits are the better ones.

they're like 3¢ CIs[/QUOTE]

I never got an email from those duders, wonder if that means I didn't get the qual?

she posts every couple of months, so even if you don't end up getting it this time around, you'll have it for next time

according to the email the other day, the validation hits are senior writers only, though, and most of her hits have been during weekdays in the last several months, giving me little opportunity to do enough to qualify for seniority

 

[Pippa]

Ugh workout talk. I start back tomorrow. Grumble grumble

 

[Pippa]

Goodnight all. Hope you have a good earnings day tomorrow

 

[redtokyoboxers]

I think this is so strange. I would have liked to be in the meeting room when they came up with this one.

Barb: What can we do to thank our gym members and encourage them to keep up with the new habits they are continuing to build.
Frank: Hmmm..
Steve: I know, pizza!
JoAnne: Brilliant! Make it so.

gyms, especially pf, don't really want their members building a habit of showing up.

Any Thoughts? I did just one earlier which got approved. But I'm still a little nervous to start grindin them out..

I won't do them because the pay is way too low.

 

[MarkC]

I totally understand why PF does this from a business point of view, I just think it's filthy. Sorta having a full bar at an AA meeting. Not quite but its in the same category I think.
