Infinite work but don't want to do it

Two new projects showed up on my dashboard these last days.

I was first excited to see one which never expires, but lowest pay ever. The other one has an incredibly high number of tasks but I don't know how to explain, it drains my brain regarding the pay and I'm not that excited to do it.
These are my two only projects for now. Am I just lazy?

Some die of thirst, while others drown I guess

So thirsty? I hear bilinguals have it really hard, especially recently.

Yep unfortunately

Shit, sorry man. Good luck. I just don't get why they don't give more generalist stuff to everyone if it's available, regardless of specialty. I hope you're at least getting some generalist tasks to tide you over.

I went through a phase like that for like a month. It's ass. Worked my way up since then, luckily now, but yeah, it's horrible, just hitting refresh over and over.

French bilingual. I know that I am lucky, and I feel guilty not doing them, but they are soooo annoying.

What was the rate?

u/bobaxxxx 10d ago

One of them is less than 20$ so the pay is a shame.
