robotech_masterWell, I'm back from visiting the parents. We had a very good dinner together, and my brother Alex and a friend of his were there, too. We talked and stuff, I got back some DVDs I'd lent out . . . not really much to say. Just family things.
I've started getting the usual "why not work at home?" responses that come from posting one's resume on the Internet. I'm going to be looking into a couple of them, strictly as an interim thing while still looking for work in other areas. One of them in particular that interests me wants me to send them a SASE for an application. It's certainly a change from all the people who want you to send them money so they can tell you how to work at home/stuff envelopes/whatever.
I actually something similar I did a couple years back, to get money to buy a new hard drive for my computer (which promptly fizzled)--collecting email addresses from a daytrading message board. Presumably for spamming, but hey, I figured it best not to ask questions. It earned me a couple of hundred dollars, with which I bought a JRE hard drive. Which promptly exploded a couple of years later. Oh well.
This, at least, looks like it might not be as "fly by night" as that was . . . and it claims to offer
Work 20 - 40 Hours Per Week.
Earn $11 - $25 Per Hour
Some Company Benefits
Paid Training
I guess I'll go SA and S an E and put it in the mail so I can see just what the deal is with it. It won't cost me anything but the stamps, and what the heck, if it is work that suits me, and I could do at home, it could at least tide me over until I find a real job.
Meanwhile, I really should see about printing that resume out and marketing myself to some of the local firms.
I sold an inkjet printer today--a Hewlett-Packard model--for $34. I couldn't help wishing I'd seen it before the girl buying it had. I didn't know they could be had so cheaply, and the size of the thing was such that it would have fit quite nicely on the small dresser to the left of my desk. I really should have a printer, now that I can no longer use the one on campus.
Oh well. Time to start getting ready for bed, I think. More later.
