B* has shown up on my Appen invoice for this month. I'm quite impressed as I thought I'd not done much at all!

MrsWombat · 15/03/2020 06:48

Honestly, this is nuts and I'm starting to think this is a way certain billionaires are redistributing their wealth!

Lougle · 15/03/2020 07:52

I did a few hours yesterday on Appen... will that show automatically on my invoice in time?

MoreMoneyPlease · 15/03/2020 08:06

'@lilmishap I know, I've been watching my pension go down on a daily basis Shock

toastytea · 15/03/2020 08:07

@Lougle yes, it is auto generated and supposed to be quite accurate. Although right now we all have been given too many hrs on our invoice! I'm sure it will be corrected. If you want to record your time yourself too, might be a good idea. I haven't!

Is everyone's b* work showing on their appen invoice? I worked loads on Friday and it's not showing. I'm getting slightly worried now.

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 15/03/2020 09:44

@snisr they are very sporadic at uploading. Usually they just do everyone's on the first business day of the month so don't worry. I have worked for Appen over a year and never not been paid.

girlicorne · 15/03/2020 10:13

@SNISR it won’t show until next week I don’t think, i ve done 20 hours since Friday and none of it is showing yet but I m not worried 😀

ruralwanderer · 15/03/2020 10:20

Fair play @lougle, I'm registering for everything on utest that I receive an invite for but still no projects have come of it. I've also signed up for most of the ones on the project board but nothing. Hoping it'll pick up soon.

I've also applied for the lionbridge maps job so fingers crossed 🤞

Lougle · 15/03/2020 10:40

How many hours do you all do per week?

SNISR · 15/03/2020 10:57

Thanks @girlicone @spockpaperscisors

toastytea · 15/03/2020 11:13

@SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock from your experience are they usually accurate? I've not been keeping my own records eek!!

toastytea · 15/03/2020 11:14

@girlicorne thanks! I wasn't on that project so makes sense I didn't get an invite, I was on a similar one tho and replied to email expressing interest for future work! Fingers crossed!

girlicorne · 15/03/2020 11:31

@toastytea I think a lot of that project group are coming back hurrah!! 😀

girlicorne · 15/03/2020 11:35

@lougle regarding hours it varies for me depending how busy I am in my full time job, I usually do about 50 hours a week in that so about 20 to 30 on this stuff, I need to make around 1000 a month on it to pay DD school fees. If I have stuff cancelled in my main job I then make up the money/hours I have lost by doing extra on Appen or C...

toastytea · 15/03/2020 12:01

@girlicorne you 50hrs a week and then 20 hours on top??? Whaaat!! When do you sleep?!

Catatemyhomework · 15/03/2020 12:01

I've managed about 20 hours on B* this week. I could have done more but seem to have a lot of work on UTest too so having to divide my time. Plus I need to actually have a life and look after the kids!

girlicorne · 15/03/2020 12:21

Yeah about 80 hours a week, i do about 16 a day Monday to Thursday then tend to focus on the online stuff fri sat sun for a few hours a day usually in the evening. I m not that bothered about free time in the evenings watching tv etc I don’t really like it I d rather work so we get lots of holidays so I save up my free time for that! I only need about four hours sleep as well luckily😀

Catatemyhomework · 15/03/2020 12:34

Anyone else getting no tasks available on B* now? I've just logged in to do a couple of hours and it's saying no more tasks. Hope it comes back soon.

TheLolaMontez · 15/03/2020 12:35

anxiouswaiting · 15/03/2020 12:37

noooo, toddler napping and I managed 1 batch before part 2 ran out

girlicorne · 15/03/2020 12:37

@Catatemyhomework yes ran out for me too just done four hours though. Hopefully some more will be loaded for next week.

Catatemyhomework · 15/03/2020 12:42

@girlicorne, that's a good lot of work. I managed 2 hours this morning and then went to do some hoovering as the house is a tip and then came back and it was gone. I haven't done much this weekend and now wishing I'd worked all day yesterday instead of going out. It is hard though not knowing when it will suddenly dry up. I still have about 5 hours work on UTest which I've been putting off.

Catatemyhomework · 15/03/2020 12:44

We'll probably get part 3 back now and I'm not so keen on that.
@TheLolaMontez, hope everything's going well for you all and that you're managing some sleep.

girlicorne · 15/03/2020 12:49

I haven’t done any part 3 yet as I was busy in the week when it was on but I guess everything we ve just done will now go through to part 3 to keep us busy next week? 😀
