~2005, was living in San Diego and had my first clinical depressions. I was "homeless" and had a job at an AM/PM and started suffering anxiety attacks. My best friend saw how bad off I was and so told me I needed to get out of the city. At the time, I still knew a girlfriend of mine from the 1980s, and she said, "Well, why don't you move out to Desert Center? I'll find you a place to live and find you some kind of work." I had already visited Desert Center and sworn I would never live there. (BTW, ex-girlfriends family *owns* the town.)

So, here I am, in the armpit of the U.S. (aside from El Paso, TX).
Thank you for sharing a bit more. *raises hand* social anxiety disorder, right here (triggered by a death in my family). It's interesting mapping how my life changed after that, 13 years ago.

I like hearing how people adapt, embrace what they are, and move to the next chapter.

Look forward to more Desert Center stories ~

I think when I build my office I'm going to buy me a desktop and then use my laptop to just run panda's..or maybe use my other one for that and then use this one for batches and the desktop for surveys...I think that would up my earnings.

Page request error limits are based on account not device so running pandas on a laptop wouldn't help.

My issue now is I can't run panda's and effectively work, it lags the fuck out of my laptop and makes it get hot as hell. Although I haven't tried it since I had the fan replaced...

I am very jealous of the people who have desks with 2 monitors and such, flipping tabs gets annoying.

I think I could maybe make enough more to pay for the office pretty fast lol.

Just trying to maximize my output really.
Yeah I think I'm at the point where buying a new laptop would probably pay for itself at this point.
