You might consider pizza delivery. You can definitely do that part
time, and the pizza place will be very excited to get an application
from someone who can spell their own name and address correctly.
I did it for awhile and the whole job is like taking a break from real
life. Drive the car, listen to the radio, deliver the goods, smile, get
a tip, drive more, fold boxes and sweep the floor while you wait for the
next delivery. Oh yeah, they also think you're a hero at the pizza shop
if you stay busy without being ordered to. If they think you're a hero
they'll give you whatever shift you want. You want Friday and Saturday
night.
Unlike tech support....or anything else I ever did, the customer is
always happy to see you and the interaction with them is always
positive. It was maybe one time in three hundred that anybody gave the
pizza guy any attitude.
On the less rosy side, you do have to pay attention to your vehicle
maintenance and fuel costs and make sure you're actually making money.
You might gross $15/hour, and if you can do a lot of the basic car stuff
on your own, you'll only put 20-30% back into the car. Too many people
went in and back out of that job because they weren't paying attention
to what they were doing to their car.
The other thing that ruined people was tickets. Speeding, red lights,
failure to yield....one ticket and you just paid out a couple of days
worth of income to the court. Parking is not an issue though....nobody
ever gave me trouble for parking anywhere as long as I had the pizza
sign on the car.
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
