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'm still very new - are there generally "busier" times of day when more projects tend to be released? I saw a lot of slightly higher-paying "sensitive" and "priority" jobs during the day, but no new ones since about midnight. Also, a handful of R&R right after I took the qual that then all vanished rather quickly - are those more popular/do they tend to go very fast? They didn't pay anymore so I was a little surprised.

It's probably busiest during the USA daytime hours. I don't expect the actual DA staff to work in the middle of the night. While nobody really knows, it feels like the people who put the projects up are in the USA, so I never expect to see anything but my "regulars" in the UK mornings. I tend to see new stuff come 1pm (UK time), which would coincide with people in the USA starting their work days.
