05/11 - Thirsty Thursday!

Bearnie peed on his own finally! I'm very proud for some insane reason and I feel that everyone should know he's a champ like that. I'm actually off to go pick up his prescriptions and special food so I can pick him up at 6. I got my boss to agree to let me set up Bearnie day care at the airport to boot. It's a great day folks! Hope everyone makes mad stacks while I'm away.

 

This was a nice surprise on a slow day.

When I try to accept another one of the qual HITs I get this. Oh well. Thought I did alright on the qual.

The Requester (Gaston Illanes) has chosen to prevent you from working on any of this Requester's HITs.
There are a variety of reasons for Requesters to prevent particular Workers from completing their HITs.

Damn.

I just checked and I can accept the qual hits again. But promptly returned it because fuck that noise.

Interesting. Like I said I thought I did good.

 

He blocks for failing his qual hits?

 

I didn't get blocked. But I didn't get the qual either.

He can keep his qual. Not risking that.

 

And in a twist...

 

I'm trying to calm myself down to message him. What is with all these terrible requesters lately?
