That last VDX batch was interesting. I used Chrome instead of Firefox. In Firefox, I get long (multi-minute) delays with nothing at all and then suddenly ~10 HITs load. In Chrome, I was getting short delays (5 to 15 seconds) and then 1 HIT loads. Repeat. Result? Got basically the same number of HITs out of the Chrome batch as I've been getting out of Firefox today. Matter of taste I suppose.
Truth. p9r goes quickly for me though. Just tab, type, tab, type. Submit. The end. And comparing how many I can complete in a minute as opposed to receipt transactions...pay isn't *that* bad while I'm building numbers.
Wish I had copied and pasted the review where the patient had got a $300 lap dance from the office manager...lol Good stuff.
VDX has taught me a few things: apparently you can't work in a doctors office if you have tattos, because that is 'ghetto' doctors are not supposed to have any interest in money, because of course they spend all that time and money on school so they can be poor You should never, ever have to spend more than 5 minutes in the waiting room, but the doctor should still have time to spend an hour plus with each patient people are so stupid
My choice for numbers was 411Richmond's single item HITs. https://www.mturk.com/mturk/previewandaccept?groupId=389X50RO3UCP2CYKCYM14K9RJJI439 I don't think it has any requirements at all. I found weekend afternoon/evening when people are shopping (and taking pictures of receipts I guess) setting up TM to collect these worked well. I did over 1000 in a day once. It got me to 5000 fast. (You're not going to get good hourly of course, they pay a penny each!)
I like the occasional one that tries to address the mobs by basically asking: "Do you want a doctor that holds your hand and remembers your pet's name? Or do you want a doctor who can actually figure out what is wrong with you and fix it?" They are wasting their time. Everyone knows the first is much more important.
Doctor Name: Tudor Stefan Trifan Review: Dr. Trifan...I was loving your beautiful bedside manner. It was honor being palpated by you with your massive Romanian hands. How exquisite to feel your manly touch. I have not felt this way since Nicolae Ceausescue was in power and treated me in similar manner. I met you once when you visited my prisoner camp and you gave me good medical care for a bottle of Vodka. How entertaining you were with large moustache and beady eyes. Thank you again, see you soon.

Apparently the IRS is going to start accepting early returns today sometime and the people on the tax board I visit every year are staying up all night waiting to find out if they are picked for the test batch.

Review: This doctor is wonderful. He singlehandedly eliminated a dangerous child raper from the planet. We need more doctors like Dr. Kevorkian, er Murray.
Nice. One day I want to max out, or probably in my case hit around 3700 based on returns and what not, just to do it. Maybe a goal for 2016 since there's a lot of time...
Now would be the time to do it. A ton of VDX plus some other easy batches is possible. Painful, but possible.
I would probably have tried on one of these slow days or holidays but I don't have the qual. So more for you guys
