pathetic little tramp

I have serious downtime at work during the Summer, about 4 hours a day if you slap them all together, so I decided to look into penny work like mechanical turk on Amazon that I could do maybe 20 minutes worth a day, maybe make 10 dollars a month and buy an extra case of beer or something.

So to experiment and to get used to the system yesterday while I was in the office checking on something else I did 20 "HITs" mostly involving tagging whether there are men or women in an image, adding tags to images, stuff like that.

Problem is, there's no guarantee the person posting the HITs will actually "accept" your work, and they don't have to pay out immediately. It seems if you're asking people to work on piddly downtime junk for 2 cents, you shouldn't have an "approval" process.

So I checked into the account today and I have now officially earned a single penny.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck that. This poo poo's for the suckerest of suckers.
