Amazon Mechanical Turk has been a real blessing to my husband and I. Two days before I graduated college was my last day at work: I had gotten laid off. I felt awful, both because now we wouldn’t have any extra money at all, but also because our 3 year dating anniversary was coming up and I knew I would never be able to afford anything for you loving, wonderful husband. So when I found out that I was getting laid off, I started using Amazon Mechanical Turk everyday and earning enough money to get my husband what he really wanted: a titled battle map and dungeon master screen so we could all play Dungeons and Dragons together. He moved halfway across the country two years earlier, and he missed his friends and how they all played Dungeons and Dragons together. So as a special treat, I ordered both the matt and the screen and we played Dungeons and Dragons on our anniversary with a couple of our good friends. It was one of the best anniversaries we’ve ever had, and I’ve never seen him smile and enjoy any other gift I had ever gotten for him. Without Amazon Mechanical Turk I would have never been able to afford it, and I still am out of work for the moment. With our one year wedding anniversary coming up in a month I am working really hard on Amazon Mechanical Turk to get him the gift he’s been wanting for over three years: (edited to keep the gift a surprise). It’s quite a bit more expensive, but I think I can manage to complete enough hits to get him a great anniversary present!
