    I couldn't believe fox kept showing that over and over, and don't even get me started on it being ruled not a TD.

    Unfortunately they kept showing it because of the review lol. Still, yeah, lapse in common sense/decency there I suppose.

    Do you only do batches or something? I couldn't imagine being on Turk all the time and only waiting on batches. It would be pretty slow money.

    Now my vet is saying Abby prolly didnt have a seizure, she passed out from a coronary event. I never heard of someone passing out and urinating (except alcohol) but anyway, now they want me to take her to NC State for a $3K Echocardiogram

    When a recruiter sends me an email and it looks like a craigslist ad with a lot of CAPS LOCK WORDS, I usually ignore it...sometimes I send them a negative reply in ALL CAPS.

    "Thanks for contacting us and letting us know. Before we run large batches of a given HIT, we often run smaller batches to get an idea of what people are thinking about the task. I appreciate your feedback and our team will take it into consideration for future HITs of this type. Often times we don't know what people's thoughts are unless they tell us."

    You didn't know that releasing hits with a MAX $6/hr rate lasting +/- 1 hour each wouldn't be received with open arms??

    Being a recruiter is an awful, soul sucking, underpaid, crappy job. 99% of candidates don't ever respond to e-mails even if they are personalized and well thought out, so it basically turns into a numbers game and you send out a canned response hoping someone will eventually bite. Source: was a recruiter for ~3ish hellish years.

    I still must have my resume on one of the Tech job hunting sites from a while back cause I always get these Indian guys from New Jersey calling me. Why are all these recruiters in New Jersey. Are they calling from India and they just say New Jersey cause they think it is the Tech Mecca?
