You could start your own business delivering for food places that don’t have delivery.

Hmmm, a good retirement job for me with a solar powered car. I drive, my wife gets out and delivers the pizza. I would have to duck down so they wouldn’t see me... I might want to clear this with her first... From: Jeremy via Af Sent: Monday, November 03, 2014 7:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: remote support - part time jobs? I hated pizza delivery. I made $2.30 - $3.00 / hr. after fuel. I tried that for probably 6 months but people around here tip one dollar if you are lucky. Ever since that job I make sure to tip the pizza dude $3.00 or 20%, whatever is greater. They pay them waitress wage here (like $2.15/hr.) and make them use their own vehicle.

I was just stating an observation. We are from a town next to Juarez and folks assume we are all hooked up in drugs They see my long hair and think I partake of drugs But I was amazed they asked for boner pills more than other stuff. These were oil worker's at hotel. Jaime Solorza On Nov 3, 2014 7:38 AM, "Adam Moffett via Af" <[email protected]> wrote: Are you saying Steve should sell drugs to help pay the mortgage? If so, he should do pizza delivery at the same time....then he has a way to explain all the cash income. I'm sorry to report that some of my colleagues in the pizza business were doing that. On the other hand there were people who had seasonal work, and used pizza delivery to fill their off season. So in the winter I worked with roofers, landscapers, and drug dealers. In the summer I worked with students, substitute teachers, and drug dealers. I was in Midland all of last week and when guys found out I was from El Paso they asked if I could hook them up with Viagra or Cialsis. Guess they think we just drive to Juarez and buy them cheap. 15 to 30 a pill Maybe something new going out at the drill sites I know drug abuse is high up there...too much quick money.

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
