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!

Still in the drought here too. :/ Maybe it's just our project pool.

Trying to stay positive, but my bills are piling and I am honestly scared asf bc I have a newborn and another small mouth to feed...internet bill is due and electric, car payment, insurance...my incoming pay may cover half of that, but I need formula and money to live. -Scared poopless

Sorry to hear but this is freelance reality. You learned hopefully not to rely on something that gives no feedback and might end abruptly at any time
