No timers in Hubstaff this morning?

Anyone else go from all of the sudden having two timers (regular and Evals) with no explanation, to ZERO timers in Hubstaff today? Very confused about both haha

MM Evals?

Just opened up Hubstaff and MM for the day (Aether), and now there are two timers - regular MM, and MM Evals. Anyone know what this means? I looked it up in the subreddit search but couldn’t find any actual answers, just other people asking more questions lol.
The only email I’ve gotten recently was regarding the LaTeX form.

Tanning drops and lotion question

OKAY I have a Disney world vacation coming up that will be pretty long (10 days) and I know for a fact I will have to tan at some point if not once then twice. However I am thinking the lotion plus tanning drops might just be my solution, but I want y’all’s advice first!

I normally use Coco & Eve or Loving Tan mousse (both the darkest express). This can last about 4-5 days for me, but with all the sweating and showering I don’t see it lasting even that long. Instead of having to awkwardly fake tan in such a small space (plus all the white stuff in their resort rooms) I am wondering if I can just “touch up” with lotion a couple times? Like full coat my body to blend with my base tan from the mousse. Does anyone do this? Or are yall just using the lotion and drops from the jump/no mousse at all? Do I need to rinse? The sheets and all of the bedding are stark white, and I sleep with my kid in the same bed so I really do not want to be transferring or anything like that!

I need all the tips, tricks, recs, etc. for tanning drops and lotion combo! And if you have any tips and tricks for the heat/lots of walking and maintaining a good tan I would appreciate that too!!

All studies gone after doing one?

Hi all!
I just joined the platform today, completed every “About Me” question possible, and had about 25 studies available. As soon as I completed one and linked my PayPal, all within 45 minutes, every other study was suddenly gone. Is this normal?

Project Aether suddenly useless as a stay-at-home mother

Basically just ranting at this point, so disregard if you don't share the sentiment - or feel free comment to add on to what I have to say if you relate. I find it odd more people aren't speaking up if there's so many of us in this same boat.

This was a lovely source of income as a postpartum first time mom adjusting to the sudden change of income that comes with staying home with a new baby. Sadly, that only lasted for roughly 2 months. I was able to work many hours a day doing a variety of interesting tasks that allowed me to stimulate my brain, which was really nice and honestly didn't really feel like "work" because I genuinely enjoyed it. I was able to get a lot done while my baby sleeps on me, and we've used this income for small bills that we otherwise would have been just short of, and things like formula, diapers, etc. which is a huge blessing.

However, for about 2 weeks now, I have had extremely limited tasks. Most of those limited tasks aren't even workable as they have nothing available to complete. The others require me to wear headphones, and they take a long time to complete, however I am not the type of person to start something and not finish it nor do I commit to a job unless I know I can give it my best work. This is why I've maintained a 4.75-5 rating since beginning this work. But now, only having 1 or 2 tasks with work actually available and those tasks requiring more commitment and attention over a longer period of time than I can give is really frustrating, especially as I've earned my good reviews for a completely different set of tasks using different skills from what is available to me now.

Are all H2H, Omni, etc. tasks that used to be available just gone for everyone? Has the entire project shifted to strictly IG entity or video tasks, transcript eval, derendering website design, and a handful of "filler" tasks with no work?

HH Availability

I recently joined Project HH and have regularly had 1, MAYBE 2 tasks work (as in they aren’t empty) and I have a few tasks with work available that aren’t also listed in my Handshake tracker. Is it normal for there to be so many tasks in MM that don’t align with Handshake?

New task limits? Aether

Has anyone else been experiencing weird new task limits that change the availability of tasks as well?
For example, I did the transcripts evaluation task for one hour, got the “limit reached” message and had a different batch of tasks available. Chose to do H2H, and after 2 hours, got the same message and the batch of tasks that were available when I did the first task earlier.

Just watched Graveyard of the Fireflies for the first time.

Never again. And I watched it while at WORK. That just ruined my week.
I’m also a toddler mom, and my brother is in the military. I should have known better.

*EDIT: In the midst of my sobbing, I was unable to read the title of my post through my tears so yes, I spelled “Grave” as “Graveyard”. Y’all know what I meant though

I am newly accepted onto this project and have some questions as I am unfamiliar with this specific platform and the instructions are all so vague or conflicting. My experience so far is with another platform using the Hubstaff timer and MM combo, so I am not used to having to keep another website open or stop between tasks.
Do y’all start the timer during your task selection and onboarding/instructions process, including the short quiz before being “allowed” to do certain tasks?
Are y’all stopping timers before they run out, whether it’s the Handshake timer limit or the task itself running out?
Also, is there any sort of daily limit - like a project-wide daily budget or time limit which would require me to be on as early as possible daily to get the most hours possible, or is it truly “work when you can/want”?
Thanks!!
