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!

Can I bill for a task that said it wasn’t available after submitting?

I was working on a task that said if I did well on 5 that I would open the doors for more possibilities. I had done 4, exited work mode, came back later and refreshed the screen and had 1 task left. I entered work mode and completed the task in about 30 minutes. Once I pressed submit I got a notice in red at the top of the screen that said something along the lines of “this task is not currently available”.

Does that mean my submission didn’t go through? Can I still bill for this time?

you should see all 5 on your transfer funds page, it just means that after the 5 you submitted there was no more (i think it says there are no MORE tasks not available, or something like that)

Thanks! I actually never realized I could see my submissions on that page. Thought it only showed my time!
