"No phone, no lights, no motorcar, not a single luxury..."
So, earlier this week, my landline phone joined my cell phone in the lovely state of disconnected-ness. Aside from internet access, I am now completely shut off from the outside world (unless I actually go outside).
My electric bill is next up, and the only reason my lights are not off is that I was promised by Direct Energy that a supervisor would call me regarding not being contacted before when I was having trouble paying this bill before. However, without a phone, someone over there is liable to say "He's being a smartass" and shut me off anyway.
I'm
still one payment away from owning my car outright, but with my Debt-to-Income ratio being what it is, I'm on that treadmill that makes it impossible for me to even have $200 available to pay the damn thing off.
So...
Anyone in the North Dallas area have any gigs they need done during the day? I'm willing to travel as far out as a 20-mile radius from Allen, Texas (or telecommute if the gig allows it). The only thing I request is that whatever gig you suggest to me meet the following criteria:
- It is legal. I'm a legal US citizen with no criminal record. I don't need that status changing anytime soon.
- It doesn't require telemarketing. My full-time job at night tethers me to a headset. I don't need to be strapped to a phone all day, too, trying to get people to part with their money.
- If it's not something you would do, I probably wouldn't want to do it, either. Yes, times are tough, but it's going to be a while before I resort to selling blood, sperm, or body parts. Also, shoveling elephant dung is slightly lower on my list of priorities than the aforementioned.
- It is part-time. My current work hours are Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and alternate Wednesdays, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. I have obligations Monday and Tuesday nights after 6 p.m., in Lewisville. Basically, whatever you suggest should fit neatly into the day, without killing me at night.
- If you can't describe what the job is, but instead talk up how much money I can easily make doing it... then it fails, automatically.
- It isn't a get-rich-quick or pyramid scheme. It makes no sense if I have to put up money to make money back. I'm not looking to open a business or start my own IBO. I need to pay bills.
I'll go out on a limb and give some added incentive. If you send me a lead and it results in me getting a paycheck,
I will buy you a 25-credit Bling Pack (or something equivalent).*
Yes, I'm this desperate.
PM me with the appropriate contact information or suggestion. I'll take the rational ones seriously.
