12/02 - Swooping Saturday!

I just had a flashback to college for a minute there.

"I'm not going to lie, usually I don't find girls with glasses hot, but you're pretty cute in yours."

I feel like you should be buying me a drink and trying to get handsy under the table.

 

yes please

 

I'm back

 

So, I met all the VPs from Scaled last night at the christmas party, and this one guy looks so much like Scott Speedman a la his Felicity days, I just nervously giggled when he shook my hand. He's so hot, the other dudes are aware he's ridiculously good looking. He was an air force instructor before becoming an aeronautical engineer, and I'm not sure I can formulate words around someone that pretty for at least the first 3 times we meet.

 

I wish I had done more of those tetsuro HITs last night. Those were hilarious.

 

Suicide squad Harley. Admittedly she only even knows who she is because of YouTube

Another version of this, if you missed it the first time.
Longer than it ought to be because each question gets its own page, but you can learn whether you can beat my scores
(you cannot beat my scores, my scores are unbeatable)

 

Maaan, I became happy for a second.

 

I had a big mexican burger and 2 Heineken for lunch.

I gotta question. Sometimes you'll see a batch that says 1200, for example. And lets say you catch 122 HITs out of the batch and then the batch dries up because all the tasks get done. But other times you'll see a batch that says 1200 and you get to do all 1200, but then you can't do anymore. Obviously this is some sort of requester coding thing but why does MTurk have to make it so confusing to the worker?
