And that's the morale of this Mturk Story. You are only as good as your latest/best quals. Take away masters and a few of my quals like Hotels, OCMP5 and a few others, and I'd be scratching and clawing right with you. Hotels started as a masters qual many years back and that carried us over to today's qual. OCMP5 was a master requester and that qual carried over as well. What you are describing are my first four years of turking!
Tip: On Sundays, they seem to post more after 9 p.m. or so. That's when they start gearing up for the week-long batches it seems. Comes in slow at first, then builds.

there was a note feature that got dropped in one of the rewrites I guess few people actually used it. you could only access them from the requester page so it was pretty difficult to access most of the time would have been nicer if we could have saved and loaded notes, like the include and block list. a note would appear on hits you could say follow up in 2 weeks or never pays bonus, avoid etc.
Even something as simple as adding a third numerical column so you would have pay, bonus, and rating. Then have it average instead of sum on the totals. There are so many times I see a requester I've done work for, and go "I've done like five or six things for them, they must be good." Only to realize that they are terrible and I've just forgotten.

New season of Curb Your Enthusiasm premieres tonight. Unfortunately I don't have HBO. Will just get a DVD of season 9.
I thought about that. Comcast also offered me 1 month free HBO but I'm terrible with remembering to cancel before it ends. I just bought whole season 8 on DVD from eBay then resold it once I was done so I probably will do that again.
Thanks Jenni! How was your day? Rained here all day yesterday and today. Seeker probably sent the rain over. Blah gloomy weekend.
