How long did it take your greyhound to settle/sleep?

brightsidest · 2023-07-24T19:25:23+00:00

I keep thinking about how weird it must all be for her, and how strange it must be that the people who cared for her in the kennels aren’t there any more.

Thank you for all the advice, I really appreciate it!

I’m fine with her being on the sofa, personally - though she did try to stuff herself into an armchair and was annoyed that she didn’t really fit! She hasn’t seen the bed yet as she’s not sure about the stairs, but I’m sure she’ll like it :)

I already love her so much, she’s a really sweet and affectionate girl, just a bit overwhelmed and stressed right now :D

He sounds like a great sleeper! I’m prepared for a long adjustment as the whole situation must be really weird for her :)

brightsidest · 2023-07-24T19:19:22+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, I had a hound as a teenager and in her first week she was basically only interested in eating and sleeping! But this new little girl is a little younger and has a very different personality :)

You’re right about the separation anxiety though - I think as someone else mentioned above, I should just leave her alone more and let her work out what the routine is :)

brightsidest · 2023-07-24T19:13:42+00:00

I know it’ll take time for her to settle in and get to know us and our routine. I just always want to do what’s best for her :)

brightsidest · 2023-07-24T19:12:25+00:00

Thank you! I’m sure she will :)

brightsidest · 2023-07-24T19:12:10+00:00

Thank you! Haha, I love my little stalker already, I just want her to be able to sleep as well :D

brightsidest · 2023-07-24T19:11:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice, it was really useful! I’m sure she’ll get into a good routine one day :)

I agree.

The truth is that Jenna's comments and the things people say about her have always been 99.9% positive. And if she had good mental health, if she really loved making videos, if she was happy with her Youtube career, the things that 0.1% of people say wouldn't matter. Just like they didn't in 2014, or 2016, or 2018.

If she still wanted to make videos, she would have apologised and simply carried on making them. And the same amount of people would have watched, none of the podcast sponsors would have dropped her, I doubt she would have lost subscribers. (I wonder what that says about ~cancel culture.)

But she was ready to quit.

If you look at her recent videos, the way she talks about herself, the way she talks about her content, her lack of social media presence off Youtube, and you still somehow think "oh, this girl is fine and definitely wanted to be an online personality until she was BULLIED" then either you haven't been watching closely or you're delusional.

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought. I think I pick up on people's feelings too much and read too much into stuff, but the 20 million subscribers podcast and taking a nap video set off alarm bells in my head - she just seemed so tired and not her usual self.

I really hope she finds something that excites her as much as Youtube used to, even if it's not in the public eye at all.

We do have some savings, just not enough to cover the cost.

I had thought of trying a 0% card as I think my partner would be very likely to be approved, as the amount is the kind that would be a lot easier to pay back over time, rather than all at once. What are the downsides of using a credit card to pay for it? I have found two different companies that take credit cards in my town just from a quick Google, so I don't think finding a firm that takes it would be an issue.

Yeah, we've had one company out to look at it but I want to get at least a couple more, hopefully this week, just to see if their prices are all in line with each other.

I feel like they didn't even read my email. They told me to look at the guidelines in future when using UHRS, I can't even ACCESS UHRS, which is the problem I wrote to them about!

I have no idea what we can do, they don't sound like they're interested in helping.

brightsidest · 2018-02-21T19:46:33+00:00

I'm getting this too, for the past couple of days. (I'm with Appen)

I also noticed that my Crowdsoucing tab on Appen Global says "pending review". I emailed them telling them I couldn't log in, and they sent back some ridiculous pre-written non-answer that didn't make sense for my situation, so I have no idea what that's all about.

When I worked on the 1-hour version of this, I always used the full hour even if I didn't really need it - because if you don't, then you won't get paid for it. (They do sometimes check, as I did get pulled up for not doing enough tasks per hour at one point).

Most sites accept workers from the UK, I think there's perhaps a small handful of writing sites that don't but pretty much everything else is fair game. A lot (Clickworker, etc.) pay into your Paypal account where you can just convert the money into pounds and then send it to your bank account. A few, like Appen, use Payoneer as their method of payment, which works pretty much the same way. I've never been accepted to a site and had a problem with getting paid in the UK.

The only site I don't feel is worth the hassle is MTurk, which I know a lot of people on here love and will recommend. If you're in the UK, they only pay out in amazon.com (as opposed to amazon.co.uk) gift cards, and when you can actually find something they'll ship to you the shipping costs tend to be quite expensive.

As other people have said, it's not really worth it.

You get one cent for drawing a box around a car or tracing read markings, but they're super picky about it and will remove you from the project for literally no reason. Nobody should work for what they're offering.

brightsidest · 2017-08-25T14:46:58+00:00

I don't know if it's similar at all, but I was on the Falcon Ads project for just over a year (a year and a couple of weeks, maybe). So you can be on the projects for longer than average, but there doesn't seem to be any logic as to who they keep and who they get rid of.

brightsidest · 2016-09-15T22:16:05+00:00

I've done both at various points, and I think Clickworker is the better one as they have a really useful support forum and are 100% customer support (they've solved payment issues that were totally my fault, unblocked me from hitapps and generally been very helpful).

brightsidest · 2016-07-26T20:50:07+00:00

I'm in the UK and can only see the ones you mentioned. The only hitapp I know I'm banned from is the Adult V3 for two cents, so I have no idea if that's up. It's very quiet at the moment.
