I have a customer who does remote helpdesk support via Skype or something similar, for these guys: http://www.abs-inc.com/
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.

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 -- All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer. -- IBM maintenance manual, 1925
