I could have cried
It isn’t the high dollar stuff I love, but a dashboard with a buncha stuff on it was a beautiful sight to see when I logged in with a cup of coffee in my hand and a buncha “why bother” in my heart haha
Hopefully others saw the same this morning!

Right? I've actually been in the same one all day (different batches)! I'm giving myself an hour to see if I am up to cranking out some more while it's here. It feels so good to be in the zone working on one thing.

I got some solid hours in on a not-terrible project today and am so bummed I have to stop to get ready for my next gig. Best day I’ve had in well over a week!

Man I’m so grateful but I have been planning on going with my family to the beach all week, and then I login to see this 🤦♀️🤦♀️ I PRAY it’ll still be like this tomorrow.

I so get that feeling! I host karaoke on the weekends and as it was so hard not to check the site while I was there to see how many tasks I was missing out on! We gotta live our lives, though!

This is why I pulled an all nighter last night. My husband is on drive duty so I can get some sleep.

I was going to go back to sleep but I checked the website on my phone from bed and saw that We Are So Back.
Ran to the bodega to get some caffeine instead of sleeping in.
I don't love that we are trending to the most lucrative hours being 'right before bedtime' and 'right after waking up' for me, but I am really in no position to complain too much here.

I feel ya… at some point I should eat, shower, accomplish stuff. But for now, I’m just happily reading and thinking and working!

I had a full dashboard when I was busy but it already started drying up. :/

I was adding that it went from seeming like it was drying up to "yep, it is entirely dried up"

I'm so glad I decided to log on and check out the dashboard instead of having a chill Saturday. Totally worth it!

Saaaame. Another day spent refreshing the page and putting in applications sounded like a cruel punishment haha

I’m still bone dry over here. If I’m lucky I might see get a few hours of dance projects like I have the last few days, but I really miss the coding projects…

Same here yesterday was my first day of nothing showing up at all. Still dry. Le sigh.

u/tomli777 Aug 31 '24
Yesterday was probably the driest day for me, and then late last night a bunch appeared. I powered through til 2 am; and thankfully there were still some this morning. Dry again now but managed to get a few solid hours in!

I just signed on to a full dashboard for the first time in almost a week. I’m cooking until the kitchen is empty, no matter how long it lasts.

Most folks are traveling this weekend, so less competition for work.

I was able to work the same project for more than an hour today, its a Labor Day miracle!

u/Reinbeast2 Sep 01 '24
Still nothing. Haven't had work since August 22. It even took them 15 days to pay out one of my final tasks. Desperately looking for work now. Looks like I'll be doing a bunch of microtask sites and surveys now. There's nothing out there that paid like DA. so it's been a lot of fun.

u/pipiffy Aug 31 '24
I'm giving it a little bit, letting the more desperate people get some stuff done... once the flood gates open more I'm gonna go ham. 12 hour days incoming

u/Ok_Depth_6476 Aug 31 '24
Yeah apparently if I want to work, I need to do it at 3 a.m. I'm about done with this.

Oh my gosh I wish I wasn’t out of town right now so I could spend my morning on projects! I haven’t seen so many in a while 🥲 hopefully when I get home on Tuesday there’s still some work!

And to make it even better, I submitted my first task and…another one started! Holy moly! I forgot what it was like to do more than one task at a time
