Now Taking Suggestions
Okay, so, starting in a month or so I'm gonna have two jobs: delivering for Mr. Roth (my motto: "Crispy Fresh Hamentaschen In Thirty Minutes Or Less Or I Go All Verklempt, Talk Amongst Yourselves, I'll Give You A Topic") and some sort of insurance data entry thing (my motto: "Why Yes, I Am A Trained Monkey, Ask About Our Banana Special, Beware Of Flung Poo.")
Those two plus my savings from working the farm for Dad plus my pretty-darn-healthy financial aid package ought to be enough to pay for college without sacrificing my soul, my nads, and the first ten years of my adult life on the altar of student loans, but I'm gonna need some walking-around money too, and also the car appreciates a full gas tank.
So I'm thinking about grabbing a third job, but I'm not sure what. My stipulations are as follows:
- No clowns. I don't feel like taking the time to get a degree in clownology (or, before anybody mentions it, clowniatry; the ability to prescribe 50 ccs of seltzer water down the pants is not worth the extra tuition.)
- No telemarketing. I'm already part of an unpopular minority group, thanks, I don't want to try selling aluminum siding to people who'd rather be watching TV/eating dinner/having sex/all of the above. Besides, I'd walk around all the time looking over my shoulder for rabbits with switchblades and/or demon-infested answering machines, and that's no way to live.
Other than that I think I'm pretty open-minded, but I'm also pretty stumped. Any ideas?

Don't be silly.

A demon wouldn't infest an answering machine.
Too twisty.

Not even if it was trapped there by another demon? Aww. Next thing I know you'll say the world isn't carried through space on the back of a giant turtle.

There are better places to trap demons you don't like than answering machines.
Like those horrible children's restaurants with mini-golf and giant mice.

Aw, I used to love going to Chuck E Cheese for my friends' birthday parties.
But, y'know, come to think of it, paralyzing the demon and dumping it into the ball pit would just be mean. One time I went in there and some four-year-old had had about three slices of pizza too many, if you get my drift.

And also, it isn't, and I'm not even going to ASK where you got that idea.

Terry Pratchett. I should lend you some of those books, I bet you'd get a kick out of Granny Weatherwax. Maybe also Susan.
