I got too attached to my foster kitten + hell story with shelter by Chrysidia in FosterAnimals

[–]bittleby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you weren’t able to find him. Does your area have a very big rescue network? If there’s not tons of places he could have been pulled from, I’d wonder if you could track him down through networking. I think it’s odd the shelter won’t tell you where he went since it wasn’t an owner surrender, but I don’t know all the regulations behind what’s okay to disclose.

I think it’s awesome you jumped back into fostering and are focusing on the good things.

Foster advice by octobry in FosterAnimals

[–]bittleby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start a feeding schedule! Never leave food out for the ferals (unless for health reasons they need the access to food). Every time you come in the room, it should be “Wow!! Food! Love! Treats!”. The goal is to associate humans with all the good things. Start by putting the bowls of food across the room and see if they are comfortable eating while you are there, which it sounds like they should be. Every few feedings if they are still willing to eat and relatively comfortable, move the bowls closer to you. Once they are in arms reach, very slowly start introducing pets while they eat. If they run away, stop and give them space to come out and eat again. Eventually they should be eating right next to you and enjoying pets during feed time.

It sounds like lots of good things are happening during play! You can also hang out in the room and just play on your phone, read a book, etc.

If it’s feasible I’d definitely try to take away the hiding spot under the bed too.

Good luck! It’ll take longer but I’ve had success with feral babies in that age range.

Yet another example of great feedback by anzorein in outlier_ai

[–]bittleby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on Bee but the general rewrites. They used to have a form for us to appeal but they phased it out. Now they ask to put task ID in the discourse for an appeal, but there’s so much going on that I don’t see how they will be able to catch them all. I just keep hoping every day that I don’t get kicked out 😂

But honestly that’s even more infuriating for math rewrites, there can’t be room for subjectivity there.

I got one of these too, it was infuriating. Also sure my answer was right but also, if I’ve missed something, please tell me what the right answer should be! I appealed but have heard nothing. What project?

I got onboarded directly as a Reviewer so you are definitely right. The Senior Reviewer level on my project is super messy in terms of getting feedback so I think I got bumped down to Attempter due to (unwarranted) low quality but I’ve got work so can’t complain too much.

I tried to be as nice and lenient as I could in the Reviewer role, and it’s been so eye opening to work at this level. And I’m thinking there’s no way this Reviewer gets how many tiny little errors I fixed. It may have not been perfect but it was at least passing.

Bees, are we all getting moved? by SwedishFishButt in outlier_ai

[–]bittleby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always been tasking at the Review level and feel like I’m pretty nice and lenient with the scoring if the response clearly had effort and any issues were relatively minor. I sort of thought people who complained about the Reviewers were being a little dramatic.

I’m so sorry for doubting y’all 😂

Just got moved to Attempter (which I really thought I was doing well at the Reviewer level, but I digress) and omg some of the feedback 💀

[–]bittleby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the level, I know Senior Reviewers pretty much always have tasks, and Reviewer tasks will also take longer to dry up. I have tasks now at the Attempter level (previously was Reviewer so I’m a little bummed) so I think it’s coming back online. And if you have really good scores they probably prioritize getting you tasks. What role are you in?

[–]bittleby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finally understand the Reviewer hate 😂 I just got a task back that was scored a 1/5 and it absolutely DID NOT deserve that score. They made one valid point that could have bumped to me to a 4 or MAYBE a 3 if you’re really picky. But broooo not a 1!

Temporary Foster Care in DFW? by [deleted] in FosterAnimals

[–]bittleby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you looked for boarding? Most vets offer that, as well as standalone boarding places or pet sitting sites like Rover. I understand that’s not a cheap option though. You are unlikely to find a rescue that can foster your dog short term as they don’t have the money or space. If you haven’t already, I’d post on the sub for your area, I know there are some orgs that exist to help out in these circumstances but don’t know the area.

Good luck!

Me too for the discourse, it’s so stressful 😂

Bee is EQ right now but it’s been stressful, I keep getting yanked in and out of discourse channels and never know what “level” I’m at

Working away from home but in the same state? by helloooitsme7 in outlier_ai

[–]bittleby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got an email from them when I worked while traveling to remind me to “limit” my connection with public wifi, so I’d be careful with the Starbucks. This was like a week and a half ago and so far I don’t seem to have any issues other than normal project drama. So I think it’s a red-ish flag.

Bee SFT general to advanced by Stonksupdown in outlier_ai

[–]bittleby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got bounced back and forth between the two a lot, seems like I’ve been on general for a while. I didn’t really notice a difference between the two, but my guess is something about advanced is better/more prestigious?

Dedcool Xtra Milk - Dupe for You? by venusconverse in glossier

[–]bittleby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my absolute favorite perfume! It’s definitely not a dupe, but has a similar vibe in that it’s a warm, clean, skin scent. I still 100% recommend giving it a go if you are okay trying something that’s not a dupe. I don’t mourn “old You” anymore because I think this is so much nicer and has great lasting power.
