*tries to ham*

 

if you have bifocals like me then it is hard to turk because I can only see the screen clearly out of the very bottom of my glasses. here is what I just figured out to fix it! I tied a piece of yarn to the middle part of my glasses that goes over my nose. I tied my finger in the knot so I can cut the yarn off the glasses later. I tied the other end of the yarn to a narrow, hard plastic headband with teeth. tied it in the middle of the headband. then I put on the glasses being careful not to let the hard plastic headband hit the glasses especially the lenses. then put on the headband but sort of like a tiara, with the ends up higher than normal. then slowly pull the middle of the headband back on my head until my glasses are held up at the right height to see only through the very bottom of the lenses.

now I can turk without constantly having to stop to adjust my glasses, and can see! but I look like a dork with string vertically over my forehead. so you can only do that if you are turking by yourself.

 

That is genius! I love it. How very creative! I wear bifocals as well but my screen is like 5 feet in front of me so no need to use the bottom lens.

 

I've often wondered how many turkers use the word ham without knowing its original meaning. Lets go HAM on that batch. Urban dictionary if you are curious.

 

I have been turking for quite some time and this is the first time I have seen the term. Had to use Urban Dictionary, but now I know.

 

I wonder how many times someone made this joke on the mturk forums and thought they were cool.

 

Can you get a pair of glasses specifically for computer work @turker ?

 

my mom is around for now, so money is a huge problem. I have checked into it and will get them hopefully later this year though.

 

if I could max out today, that would be really awesome. I might try it not sure yet. my glasses fixed for turking is really increasing my hourly rate

 

I bought my gf glasses last year. She really needed them.

 

that's so sweet!!!!!!!

That 266 is so sweet you can almost taste it
