I work at home for my "day job". It wears me out more than the days when I have to go into the office. I actually catch myself calling a few times a month to see if I CAN come in.

What annoys me the most about working at home, is I have to keep my doors locked, and curtains/blinds drawn, as people (friends & family) think just because I am home, I can drop everything and entertain them. When I first started, it took me six months to get people to realize that I could not be their child's emergency contact for school, as I am not always in a position where I can drop everything and attend to their needs. A few even thought I should be willing to have their kids stay with me until the bus comes in the morning, and again after school.

Then, you have the mother (and the aunt/uncle combo) who thinks that just because I'm home, I should be able to drop everything (and catch up on it later), to go with them to the casino in the next state. Mainly, so I can babysit my uncle (52), as he has a habit of wandering off...and sweet talking the pretty young thing next to him, out of her cigarettes that hes NOT supposed to have.

TLDR: Working at home opens up another world of problems, and people (with their own problems).
God, yes. MTurk is obviously a lot more flexible than other work from home jobs but I still have to be in front of my computer to actually make money. My sister is a SAHM and CONSTANTLY begs and guilts me to go for walks with her or watch her kids because she needs a break from her kids. Like...I'm working from home AND taking care of my toddler. I can't just drop my work, man, I have bills to pay. /rant

Does this mean we have to resign up? I forgot all about trying to get this qual.
Just received this email: I talked with our team - turns out we will be launching a qualification test soon, so I will let you know when that happens. Should be in the next week or two. Thank you for signing up and we look forward to working with you!

Cheers,

all of this.
I have worked from home for a few years now and while it's not a huge deal now because my family isn't in the same city it does get annoying when i go visit family and work from my mom's house. everyone seems to think i can babysit while i'm there and, like you, it's not exactly possible to drop what i'm doing to go change diapers, feed anyone, etc.
We do huge family trips every year (last year was Universal), and there were days I absolutely had to work a few hours. I asked the front desk if there was a quiet place I could set up at for a few hours (even offered to pay), just so I could get some work done. She led me to a smaller conference room, and told me to use it at any time. There were 4-5 others who were doing the same.

I'm getting a Masters in Arts of Teaching (MAT)!
This coming August I'll either be a real teacher or a student teacher. Fingers crossed it's the one that pays lol!
Wow, that's impressive. Nice. Teachers are amazing. When I look back at my life, it's mostly certain teachers I've had that have changed it and opened up possibilities for me that I was blind to myself. I mean, they have inspired me the most and made me feel somehow, like I could do whatever I tried.

Guess what is not in Early Access anymore?

Turkernator
A new tool for AMT.

What is this?
A cross platform desktop application designed from the ground up to make Turking easier and make you more money.

I'm not great at hyping or advertising my products, nor do I want this post to be too long, so I'll be blunt. I'm pretty good at this whole turking thing. I'm a competent developer (or at least I like to think so). There won't be a better tool that you use.

For more information visit https://turkernator.com/. Or feel free to just ask me directly.
Very cool!

I hope I can do that someday! I'm getting my license in K-6. I might go back later to add onto it.
