The 'Omg no more extra cash!' feeling is setting in. Boo. I've decided that I will be getting a PT job for the holiday season, mainly because Barry will be in school. Might as well use my time wisely instead of watching tv all day. I'm waiting till September for several reasons.
1) Any money I earn now would go straight to D*C
2) I'd miss being with my sweetie
3) Couldn't go to the movies with friends because they always go opening (ie Friday/working) night
4) No one would take me right now. I'd be asking for way too much time off. ConCarolinas, trip to NJ to visit family, and Dragoncon. Yeah, they'd hate me. ^_^

At this point it's more wondering where I'd want to work. Money isn't truly a factor, so long as the perks are good. Anything I earn is going into a 20/80 split of fun/savings. Help me decide, won't you?

[Poll #1180224]

I'd love it if I could find an online/at home job. Sadly 90% are fake, and the ones that are 'legit' have a fee to start. I did sign up for a few survey sites, but that would be less than $50 a month and that's if I'm lucky. Feh.

I'm still waffling on if I like igoogle or not. It's cool as the first page I see in the morning, but it gets annoying when I'm opening a new window to go somewhere else.

Barry is going to Anderson, SC on Saturday for a AT-43 demo. I thought about going with him, but decided not to. He'd be there allllll day, and it's a 3+ hour trip. No thanks. I will be packing him a day bag so he'll have food and stuff. Oh! Today is his birthday! I woke up early and made him pancakes. Last night I made him two key lime pies...which I made wrong because I'm stupid. -_-; The recipe calls for egg yolks, and somehow my mind saw egg whites. *sigh* It baked up ok though, it's just fluffy instead of compact. It's healthier at least because it called for 5 egg yolks. That's a LOT of cholesterol, so perhaps it was a good mistake. ^_^

This isn't really a suggestion as much as just bringing it to your attention. So don't think I'm trying to push this on you ;)

I make extra money doing pay-to-blog stuff. Basically you sign up for one or more pay-to-blog companies (personally, I'm liking PayU2Blog right now), they give you assignments, you write about them in your blog and send them the link. My payments have varied from $45/month at the lowest to almost $300/month at the highest. It isn't really something that is set since it relies on how many offers you get and how many posts you make....but it's extra money anyway.

So. Yeah. Just a suggestion. Of your options there, I like the selling hand crafts part if you can keep up marketing it. I suck at that part so it's rarely a good idea for me to sell my own stuff. Advertise, Advertise, Advertise ^_^

Etsy and handmade stuff are dear friends...*grin*

Jobwise, I'd totally say Hancocks for obvious reasons (employee discount!!! XD)
Selling hand-made stuff is definitely something I plan on doing after Acen. What kinds of things would you make to sell?

I know it isn't a full income, but you mentioned you'd signed up for some survey sites. I have one that I've been on for... not even a month now, and this one site alone already has me almost $20. I mean, it isn't perfect, and it's not a full income by any means, but it's a nice buffer, you know? I could link you if you like. Plus, getting referrals gives bonuses. XD

FABRIC DISCOUNT!

But also keep in mind, nothing stops you from doing a part time job like that, AND selling handmade stuff (and with EE discount, you can make cute stuffed animals!! >))

Sorry. Don't know best stores to work PT in your area ^^; Probably worth getting a PT job though for d*c. I told myself I might as well get mine once summer comes around; I need extra cash/spending money for d*c too :(

wait, wait - you baked the key lime pie? Was there a meringue? :o
