I have a customer who does remote helpdesk support via Skype or something 
similar, for these guys:

Honestly though, if you’re working 40 hours at a WISP, I’d expect you’re pretty 
brain dead at the end of your day (I am) and it might be easier to just work at 
Home Depot to pick up some extra money, anything with fixed hours and not 
mentally challenging.  But not the Kwik-E-Mart or all night gas station where 
you might get shot.  And not a place where you would be tempted to buy the 
merchandise, my son worked a couple years at Fry’s and his paycheck seemed to 
disappear buying lunch and computer parts and games.

A couple more ideas – retail stores are hiring temporary help for the holidays, 
also places like H&R Block although I think you had to take their course back 
around September.  The nice thing about holiday jobs is they aren’t all that 
picky, all sorts of hours are available, and it’s just a 2 month gig.

I just can’t imagine working two jobs that both require your brain to do the 
heavy lifting.

Subject: [AFMUG] OT: remote support - part time jobs?

My banker has been being a dick about that whole paying him back on the house 
thing lately, every month making me pay, its like come on man, i took the 
money, isnt that enough? 

Ive been applying for remote support and helpdesk type stuff that is remote 
office.. but everything Ive interviewed for ends up being full time only. And 
none of them offer upward mobility given the nature of the work.

any of you folks know of any of these call centers that hire part time remote 
workers? I dont care about being overqualified or the pay being crap, just 
looking for some supplemental dough.

One thing amazes me is how many of these outfits use skype for communications, 
I dont know if theyre ultimately routing customer calls through skype or what, 
but thats the requirement they have. It used to be required you had a pots line
