    Yes they used to take longer sometimes, but now they try to do it the next day unless on the weekends and then its usually Monday. Usually no more than 48 hours during the week.

    I have tried a few moscatos, Pink, Red, White and liked them all.

    I haven't heard of Rose.

    I do not know a lot about Wine.

    Yeah, I was about to say it depends on the hit as well. Some are next day or 48 hours like you said. Others (especially if you are starting a new batch for them) may take a week or two.

    LIke these Classify A Question, I think they are checking these closely to spot any potential spammers. Hence they are taking a bit longer!

    Evening all! I just wanted to share a magic Tuesday experience.

    So, I'm a little bit past 36 hours awake on a Tuesday again because I was up all night crafting transcriptions. Of course these aren't your regular MTurk transcriptions, these are Tuesday transcriptions so there's usually something wrong with them. These ones were like 7 hours long, had 15 different speakers, at least I think it did but every 30 seconds or so the mic would seemingly mute people at random, and I swear people were slapping papers on the table the entire time. At one point, someone was frantically stapling things for 5 minutes straight, at a high rate too, like 1-2 every 2-3 seconds, there was actually a crying baby in the room at some point.

    Anyway I finished them all an hour or two ago, as I send the email for the job I just finished, I got another email for another transcription. This is the fourth time this same general sequence of events has happened on a Tuesday in four months, the other transcriptions were twice an Asian biochemistry teacher with quite the accent. And the first one was a group of mumbling scientists who did not stop ruffling papers the entire 2 hours and whispering things like hydroxymethylbutyrate.

    And that explains why I won't touch transcriptions.

    They make something called a "sweet red". Also, zinfandels tend to be sweeter. Moscato and rosé, like Kanna said. But it really depends on the wine you're getting. They'll be sweeter versions of any type; I tend to like dryer, oaky reds, so I read the labels on the wine shelves at the store and on the bottles.

    Ugggh, it's so good. My uncle has bottles and bottles of it at his home. Thanksgiving was fun. ;)

    Or a white zinfandel. :)

    I want my mouse darn it. If I wasn't so cheap I would have paid the extra on the shipping and then at least it might be on the way. But nooo they are not even preparing it to ship yet and I ordered it Sunday.

    But if you combine transcriptions with nice healthy lack of sleep, then you get the cool effect of seeing dancing sketches throw lightning at each other while you're typing.


    Also this, this is the best cat gif ever. I will send you a dollar for bringing it to my attention, please let me know in what form you would like your free internet monies.

    Why the hell would you go to sleep for an hour? At this point you might as well just ride it out.

    I'm a bad person and I give bad advice.

    Only 1 hour would make things worse for me than just staying up.
