Is it my imagination, or did the voice for Catcher change? Like there's some serious demon vibe coming from it now. And I dig it, don't get me wrong, but I'm used to the peppy female machine, this one sounds like she's eating the crushed souls og eMachines and Gateway computer souls.

Aside from what K'Lee @K'Lee said above, which is really great advice, I would just get used to paying attention to the timers on HITs, if you don't already. Knowing how long a HIT's timer is, as well as maybe having an idea of how long it would take you to clear a queue of them, can save you a lot of trouble as you decide whether or not to start panda'ing a batch. Especially in the case of HITs like Endor HITs that lock you out when a HIT expires, you don't want so many in queue that you can't finish them all before they start expiring. Then you can either set a queue limit on them or slow down your panda timer to compensate.

I'm always super mindful of timers, but I've also generally done hits in a very linear fashion accepting one at a time, so never had to worry much about expirations since there was always much more time than needed. But if I am gonna take it to the next level, I can see where closer time management skills would need to be employed for some kinds of hits. Some good advice from you and K'lee though, I'll keep it in mind going forward!

Most I've managed to grind out in a single day for a month.
Gotta get back to doing something, I'm losing my mind (as if I had one to begin with... see profile picture for accurate depiction).
This was a surprisingly good day, with a load of random stuff popping up, from like 4am onward. Easy stuff, too. Need more of that, please.

Hi guys, I have a question. The Customer Interests mention that they want spanish skills to do them. I'm wondering if anyone knows if that means people who are fluent native speakers, or if someone like me, who speaks Spanish everyday in a restaurant setting but am no means fluent, will suffice. I looked at them, and I'm more than capable of doing them, but I'd hate to give them certain data that may not be exactly what they're looking for. I know there are a lot of nuances that people who aren't native speakers may not pick up on.

If you believe you can accurately do the work (as in what they ask, deciding if it meets the interest or not), then go for it, but if you aren't sure if something counts as being "relevant" or not, and it's because of your lack of knowledge in the language, you are not qualified.
Simple enough.

*edit*
I figured I knew enough that I could do a few, but on the very first one, I got lost, so I gave up and left them for people with better language skills.
