T's the season to be jolly (and earn lots of Christmas money!)

[Otterses]

I can't believe this has been going for nearly a year! I feel rather emotional

I'll pop the list up in a second for any newcomers.

Here's to a fantastic December, and bolstered bank balances for January!

Morning everyone, happy Monday!

Appen invoice also approved :) Here's hoping it gets paid on time this month as I have a few more things to sort for my little boys first birthday party on Sunday!!

What's everyone aiming for work wise this week? I'd like to get at least 30 hours in on appen.

I'm planning to do more Appen, was very busy at my real job last week
(how annoying!!) so didn't get much done. Don't want to be thrown off, although one of my projects keeps showing no tasks anyway. Hoping for more Neevo too.

There's another 'intelligence test' on Clickworker. Easy $4.50!

I'm planning on starting my first project on Appen soon. I have done all the forms and just waiting for a confirmation email with project details. If a project shows an amount per task, do you still need to create an invoice for it or does it automatically generate one? Hoping for more Neevo too although I didn't finish the calls as I never resolved the queue issue so not sure what happened there.

@moremoneyplease yes I've just done that one on clickworker!
My real job was also busy last week (how rude?!) but I managed to get the report I was working on out on Friday, and after this Friday I'm off until the new year so can't see me being given anything too meaty to get into between now and then - hopefully meaning lots of appen time!

With neevo, do you remember the recording tasks we all did originally, prob about a month/six weeks ago? well they're still showing in my 'active' page... does this mean I can do more?

@catatemyhomework in appen, if you go into the project then click on invoices/billing it will tell you whether it's self-generated or auto generated. If it's auto, they will do it for you. If it's self you'll need to create the invoice yourself.

@rrhij86 I think if tasks are still showing on your dashboard for those projects, it must mean you can still do them, does that sound right? I just looked at my dashboard and those projects say 'no tasks available' so if you can still do them, I'd probably just go for it!

I had the validation ones showing last week but they've disappeared completely now so I thought that might mean we're going to get paid for them soon!

Ok, thanks @rhij86. I've literally just been offered it so awaiting the project confirmation email. I'm sure all will become clear! You might be able to do more calls @rhij86, you could log in and try. I seem to have got stuck somewhere and am still not getting calls. It's a shame because it was really easy money.

I signed everything for Crisp on Friday evening but haven’t heard back with the email for the training platform yet. Is this normal?

@catatemyhomework it wasn't the calls one, I didn't do any of those as they always seemed to need people during my working hours so couldn't log on to do it.

This was another task from Oct/Nov where we had to record ourselves saying words or phrases.

@MoreMoneyPlease actually when I click into them they all say no tasks available. Annoying that they are still showing on my available tasks dashboard then

My appen invoice still not been approved. This has been the longest it's ever taken for me.

@SNISR there's an announcement about some of the projects not having had data from the clients, and they'll approve asap. Hopefully yours gets done soon!

@rhij86
Re: Neevo, mine still say active and I completed them all. I did check randomly last week though and there were about 80 overall that still needed approval which I did.
There weren't 80 in one go, they were there until they ran out, then some more were there an few hours later etc etc.

My invoice is still ready for review not approved either @SNISR but I m confident all will be ok!! I have a mega busy week in my full time job this week but hoping to get the crisp test done and 40 hours Appen as well. I finish work next Wednesday and not back until 6th January so I m planning on doing 5 hours a day crisp and Appen while I m off for lots of money in January 😀
Good luck with meeting our targets this week everyone!!

Hi just checking in as had a marr of a few day so not been online.

Back in action for crescent no are you @TheLolaMontez

Going to do some of the neevo calls this afternoon so hopefully speak to some of you :) had a lovely lady for a call on friday, wonder if it was someone off here!!

Good luck to rveryone taking crisp tests 🤞

Thank you @rhij86 and @girlicorne that's reassured me 😃

User the people at Crisp who sort accounts don't seem to work weekends. I had to wait a few days

@User as Yugi says...
Did mine Thursday and got the training access this morning. Will check it out tonight.

Managed to pass the forester ones, does anyone know when they might start?

Not checked yet today @Bemystarlord - im having car issues so been fucking about with that all morning hopefully get some time this afternoon to have a look

@TheLolaMontez oh no feel your pain, ar issues here too! Typical just before xmas! I just checked and was able to log in as normal so hopefully it was just a glitch.

Anyone doing the Neevo calls this afternoon?

I'm really struggling with the appen tasks today! I've done 4hours on my main one, now moved on to cwood but just can't keep myself entertained - it's numbing my brain!

@Bemystarlord I've just passed forester too!

There are 2 forester projects I applied for, I passed the listening on with 20 questions, not sure if I'll sit the other one as I'll prob fail it lol.

@rhij86 4 hours sounds good to me, I have even been doing housework to avoid it today (at least that's more productive than netflix though..). I've finally managed to do an hour but now I'm sacking it off to take DC to the park. Must be more disciplined tonight as I might not get much time in the second half of the week.

@buster27 I've just given up after an hour on cwood. Still, that's 5hours done today so it's not all bad I guess!

No hope of getting any done tonight with a poorly baby, husband out for work for a few hours and a mountain of housework to tackle :( enjoy the park!
