Now Taking Suggestions

x_multiplemanOkay, 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?

Hm. Waiting tables, maybe?

Mmmmaybe. But the job at Roth's is already gonna be fairly tip-dependent, and I dunno if I wanna go there for 2/3 of my income.

Hm. Good point there. Relying on tips? Not cool.
*snicker* You could be a mail carrier. Complete with dorky shorts.

You're just saying that so you can laugh at my wardrobe.
What are you doing for cash this fall, anyway? Because dude, you should try for the UN translator corps or something. Natural advantage, plus the intriguing possibility of uncovering a murderous international conspiracy involving Nicole Kidman.

I was thinking technical support, maybe. Though I'm not sure if I have the patience to deal with people who think their CD-ROM drive is a coaster. :)

That's just gotta be an urban legend.
Apply at the UN! The Uruguayans are trying to swear at the Ukrainians and they need your help to make sure the idiom jumps the language barrier!
