Hi. Alias name Grimtock. I've been with Mturk since 2009 and have completed over 750 hits. Now I did all of those hits in 2009 and I haven't really been back to Mturk since! I wanted to earn some extra money for a vacation that I want to take at the end of August, so I figured why not reconnect with Mturk again. I thought registering for the Mturk forum would be good because I do remember some shady hits last time that didn't pay out right or used the hits without actually paying and I also thought it would be good to connect with other Mturk workers!!!! Here is to a summer (or longer) with Mturk again!!! Grimtock
Good luck on saving for your vacation. I grew up in Michigan so I'm curious - is the vacation for out of state or sticking close to home? Check out the scripts area, there's lots of useful information there regarding staying away from the shadier requesters.
Hey Whimsy. The vacation is very close to home. It isn't anything glorious. Just a whole week in Chicago with some friends. I love that city. The food. The nightlife. The culture! I always go back to visit whenever I can. Which part of Michigan did you grow up? I'm from the GR area. And I'll make sure to check out those scripts. Thanks.
All over? lol Lived in that area when I was about 4. Then moved to Oakland County (Auburn Hills, Pontiac, Lake Orion, Oxford, Waterford, Clarkston). I lived in Traverse City for about a year. Then I moved to Huron County, the one that's in the tip of the Thumb. Lived in a few towns there. Make a six month stop in Georgia and now I'm in Florida and I ain't neva goin back! lol I never went to Chicago, did hear about how fun it could be. Sounds silly, but check out the Cheeseburger fest sometime. It's in Cass City, late summer. Lots of fun and it's near water that should finally be warmed up enough to swim in.
I'm going up to Traverse City this weekend. I need this vacation so bad. Beach! Too bad the temp went from 90 to 64! I will keep that place in mind about Chicago. And the South scares me. I've been through Georgia once. Never again.
Welcome Grimtock! I've already 'seen' you around and I'm glad you joined. I have family up near Detroit and I miss those Michigan summers. I remember as a teenager wanting to go see the Pistons so I could catch a glimpse of Grant Hill, lol. Anyway, good luck on getting $$ for the trip, and happy turking!
Ahhhhhh. The Pistons! I've actually never really been through Detroit, except driving through it. I got lost once with some friends and ended up in a real shady part. Not fun. There are so many people on this forum from Michigan!
