12/12 - Metropolitan Monday!

[Mikey Chlanda]

when you spend the first hour of your work day
writing "where's my money b****" emails to requesters
who have not paid, what they said they was gonna
and it's been a week or two

don't need no magic "bonus" promises [bonus=wage in this context]
compensating for a shitty base pay,
that is only workable, with your "bonus"....
just do what you said you would
&^*&^^@%#$@@

Happy Monday...
gonna find that green

I wish they would take the $100 or whatever lottery prize and just divvy it up among all the turkers as upfront pay. I don't think I've ever "won" one in 15 years of turking

 

[Mikey Chlanda]

Anyone else do the Andy survey? If so did yours have only 1 question?

said it had 25, but I only did two and it said I was done

@HelloHello

Woot is having a Mobile Week, including a Woot-Off on Thursday (16th). https://forums.woot.com/t/mobile-week-december-12-december-16-2022/1228644

I will be within 31 days of getting a Bag Of Crap (got the one they had on Thanksgiving), but good luck to those who haven't.

I'm in the 31 day exclusion period as well
Maybe we can both win one in one of the games I hope they will run

Always wanted to learn to weave

 

[Zick]

so far 8/189 rejected with the same message, wtf i've done close to 1000 of these for them

3 rejections so far with 100+ done but with the message "not causal relation "

I sent them a message earlier but haven't heard back from them yet. I advise you both do the same so they get more eyes on them. I'm wondering if this is an automated mistake

 

[Mikey Chlanda]

making more money playing swagbucks games on my phone. Ugh

Great place to find a variety of looms at the right price is in your favorite shopping places (thrift stores). I wouldn't recommend getting a floor loom there though unless you're awfully handy because there are too many moving parts. My one 'new' loom purchase was a Zoom Loom when I started out and it was worth every penny.

what other hobbies do ppl here have?
I collect vinyl (I tell ppl I have 8000 lps, but the last time I counted was in 2006). Mainly blues, bop jazz and classic rock. I model the NYC subway system - am negotiating more right of way with my gf. For some reason, she is opposed to having it run around the walls of our living room. And postal history - pitcairn island, USA liberty series, presidential series,

build legos, plastic models, metal earth models, collect sports trading cards and dabble in making or fixing stuff. currently working on designing/building coin cell battery luminarias as lighting candles at dusk is so challenging with the wind and freezing my arse off to light about 3 dozen.

cool! I also upcycle pallets, but not sure if that counts as a side hustle or a hobby.

I knew someone in college, who had a huge car size, nearly filling the whole room, weaving machine. It was manual, not electric. Lots of wood, designed to make blanket size weaves. I found the process intriguing, although yeah, it was taking up her entire living room.... and she rarely produced on it. It was a beautiful machine though.

SCAM ALERT

Very authentic-looking email purporting to be from PayPal about a payment request with a message that says call us at xxx-xxx-xxxx if you think this is a fraudulent charge. When I went to the PayPal account that same message showed up when I looked at the payment making it seem it was from PayPal. I canceled the payment. I called the number and they want you to sign out of PayPal and go to www.viewmaster.com saying that cancellation has to be done this way.

PAYPAL RESPONSE

There is currently a trend where spoofers are sending invoices to accounts. This is why you saw the invoice and the email come from service at PayPal. Do not call the number in the invoice they pretend to be PayPal and will ask you to download anydesk or TeamViewer to break into your device and steal your money and information. You can click the invoice and cancel it . The information he told you In some cases, invoices can’t be canceled. Instead, we ask that you simply disregard the invoice and forward the email you received to phishing@paypal.com. PayPal is working on deleting invoices that were created by bad actors. The invoice will not take funds from your account without your permission .
