demiurgentI'm better off, financially, than a lot of people I know. But things get tight. We all know that. And they've been getting tight more often, lately. Nothing to scream or panic about, mind (and this is not a funding/call for help drive or anything.)
My New England spirit says "I should get a second job." But my day job provides me with many benefits that require the flexibility of going in and working on machines when it's needed, which makes taking alternate work unfeasible. (I can't very well work a convenience store job only to have to leave it to bring the mail server back to life.)
So. Is there a reputable part time online job out there that people can recommend? The kind of thing I can do in spare hours just to pad income a bit, without abrogating my responsibility to my school (and maintaining the flexibility I need to, oh, drive to Ottawa every couple of weeks and make kissy noises with Weds). Obviously, I've seen all the scams you have. And tee shirts beat me savagely, so I'm not looking at doing that again any time soon. So I will harness the power of the internet for help, and junk.

Date: 2006-12-02 09:34 am (UTC)So, I'll hare completely off topic and ask if you ever wrote any more on Shal-Mari Blues. I stumbled across Annotations recently, and pestered everyone on the In Nomine Mailing List with stuff like "This is great! Who wrote this??" They all told me, and pointed me to Websnark and so forth. Great stuff, of course, but I want more Shal Mari Blues!! Sniffle. It's the stress, you see, of grad school. I became irrationally invested in the character, and the lack resolution in the story makes me feel as if he has *stopped existing*. I also blame your excellent writing, of course.
