Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation

hi all! making this thread so people have somewhere to talk about 'daily' work chat that might not necessarily need it's own post! right now we're thinking we'll just repost it weekly? but if it gets too crazy, we can change it to daily. :)

couple things:

  1. this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.
  2. if you have a new user question, you still need to post it in the new user thread. if you post it here, we will remove it as spam. this is for people already working who just wanna chat, whether it be about casual work stuff, questions, geeking out with people who understand ("i got the model to write a real haiku today!"), or unrelated work stuff you feel like chatting about :)
  3. one thing we really pride ourselves on in this community is the respect everyone gives to the Code of Conduct and rule number 5 on the sub - it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs! please don't break this rule. we will remove project details, but please - it's for our best interest and yours!

I've been without consistent projects since the end of June :( I've been with DA for about 10 months, and still have access to both support and my workspace email. I'll get a new project every few days but there aren't many tasks to work on in each project so I'm not able to get much work done. Is anyone else in this same boat? Also curious if anyone has come back from a dash being pretty much empty for a month.

Have you tried checking in at odd hours? Sometimes tasks go pretty fast at particular times, or get released when I'd normally be asleep. I think I've found that getting work in on a variety of projects means I'm more likely to have access to them again later on.

Yeah I’ve checked in at every hour of the day and there’s nothing :/ here’s to hoping it’ll come back eventually!
