Opening up a space for everyone to talk about how they're doing! Got some cool stuff going on? Feeling kinda down? Let's talk about it!
Remember you are loved
Started "working" with Outlier, basically training AI responses. Minimum wage, boring ass work, but i put in 70 hours this past week (most of it time thievery). Behind on rent and bills, but if I can push myself for 2 more weeks of this I can maybe catch up! Had a few "serious" job interviews this week, so we'll see where they go. The one I'm looking forward to most is a pet care company, but no response after a phone call like 10 days ago. Partner just got a job today so that's cool!
Beyond that...I dunno. Just feeling kinda blah and not very great. Both tummy and brain troubles today.
How have you been?
I'm vacilating between doomlike anxiety and feeling just fine and kind of cool. On one hand i really need a real job because my costs of living outpace the sidework I've been doing and my savings will only last so long and also all my friends are getting married and/or becoming increasingly unrelatable treatlords... but on the other hand I found a lot of cool mushrooms on my last hike and I've lost ten pounds over the last month basically by binge drinking marginally less.
Congrats on the job dawg, can't wait for you to catch up so you can take it at least a little easier. Good luck with the interviews too.
Thanks, appreciate it!
Congrats on the weight loss! Know how drinking is, so proud of ya. What sort of work do you want to be doing?
Ayyy thanks! Something with the city parks would be pretty tight, also considering the post office. I'd definitely take any sort of remote work bookkeeping style computer job regardless of how boring/mind-numbingly pointless it was though. I hear electric companies have remote entry-level positions sometimes but I've yet to happen across one.
Good luck! I've been looking into nonprofits and animal care stuff. I dropped a link to that AI thing im doing elsewhere in the thread if you want. Not really good work but it's work.
Hope something works out for ya!
Ayyyy thanks for mentioning that outlier link, really really appreciate it. I've been doing the training stuff the last few days. I did a few of the training tasks the first day i was accepted but since then it's been a single (training) task per day, as if it only refreshes once every 24 hours. Is that what "onboarding" was like for you too?
Pretty much! There's a handful of things I did before starting to log work hours, but it's not too terrible
The project they put me on concluded like two days after i finished the training (lmao) so now I'm waiting to be reassigned but hey i made $70 on the assessment tasks!
Good shit though, also I've never done a job that made me feel like I'm taking part in some cosmic eldritch ritual beyond my understanding quite like this one
Hell yeah glad you're getting some money!
