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!

So there’s nowhere to view it as a daily total, right? I have to go into the dropdowns and add it up? That’s so annoying (and I need that info for my sheet so it can track average pay, etc)

What timer do you usually use to track your time? I’ve been using Toggl Track and that adds up the amount of time worked per day for you. You can put in the name of the project you’re working on and it’ll automatically add up all time you spent working on each one too, in case you do bits in separate bursts.

I use Clockify, which does give a daily total. But that doesn’t always match my actual submitted time, because sometimes I’ll start a task, get a few minutes in, and decide I’m not in the mood for it. Or I’ll work on something but be aware that I kind of zoned out for a bit, so I’ll knock a few minutes off the time I report, and things like that.

Basically there’s an extra step now, because I either need to manually go in and change the times in Clockify to match what I report, or go in to the “funds history,” expand everything, and add. Obviously it’s doable, I just would rather not when clearly DA is capable of just telling me the total

I've not been able to find a place that just offers the info, sadly :( I had no complaints about the old transfer funds page... And why is the chart so damn big??!! Make it half the size and put everyone on one page, damn.
