Time For A Change

sperm donor?

Phone sex operator.

Start your own web design company.

If somebody suggested a thing that really works, I would try it too.

Start your own company, just man the phones and send out the orders so others do the face to face bit for you.

Mind you, you'll need a big bank loan to set you up so you'll need to plan it convincingly...

(I'm assuming you'd make an exception for Squinney.)

The reason there are so many work at home scams is because there are so many people that dream of such a job. I know a few people that work at home and have little interaction with the general public.
Here's the job list as I know it: Freelance writer, video editor, website developer, farmer of speciality crops (sells to restaurants only), fact checker (works for a few major publishers), antique car restorer and Ebay seller (she does go to tons of garage and estate sales, but doesn't chat much with people). It's probably impossible to shut out the whole world and still have an income. The only way to make money is to sell something- be it a talent, a service or a product you need to have customers to generate money.

Just remember, there is no job Utopia.

Re: Time For A Change

I highly recommend a career as a meter reader, so long you don't mind the occassional rottweiller hanging off your ass first thing in the morning.

That brings dog trainer to mind

Works better than coffee, huh, Reyn?

Coffee never works for me, but a nasty dog in your face will get my adrenaline pumping every time.

I've hung this on my wall:

My last scar, February 2005; right forearm; rottweiler; his buddy, a pitbull; owner, pot-grow dealer.

you've all been very helpful... why would I want to take a job that would remove me from interactions with people? What was I thinking? You've shown me the light.....

Re: Time For A Change


I felt that way when I worked in a shop.The public are obnoxious.

You could be an effective hit man. You seem to have skills.

In my area the meter reader never gets out of the truck. He just points this little gauge thing at your house and it reads the meter from the driveway or road. You retired too soon Reyn, things have been getting better.

Ya know...I wonder if there ARE male phone sex workers?


you always here about the women doing it.

Yeah, a lady could call and ask to speak to Clay the fireman, or Joey the UPS driver, or Andre the meter reader.

I'll be there's a market out there.

"This is Big Jim, the lumberjack. You better get ready, I'm coming over with my big ax...."

Writer of romance novels...

I believe that this technology won't come here at all, at least not in my lifetime.

The utility company here has decided to go the other route, and that's to contract meter reading out, thinking this will save them a bundle.

Nobody wants to spend the millions of dollars to convert to that, any other type of new-fangled hi-tech stuff.

I can see hoofing it will be around for a considerable time yet, so long it's cheaper to have humans go door to door.

I have no regrets.
