Questionable Job Opportunities

So there's no jobs out there; I'm applying for anything and everything that looks like I could work at home, have a flexible schedule and make any money at all. My fiance is long distance. Neither of us can move right now. We have custody issues and he is trying to finish a contract to get early retirement. Ironic, if I get a regular 9 to 5 with 10 days vacation, we will never see each other. If I don't get a job, we will still never see each other because we won't have money to buy plane tickets. I say we are house poor, because neither of us can thrown down on the other's place.

Ask me later about how we have totally fucked ourselves financially by getting divorced right before a recession! We divorced because we weren't getting enough sex/affection. Now we have a bi-coastal releationship and we still aren't getting sex regularly.

Did I ask to get laid off? NO. But I hope the place goes out of business now that I'm gone, just because I'm mean. I have applied for anything telecommuting in either city we live in on Craigslist. I have sent in resumes to all sorts of other jobs (even 9 to 5s) just to try to meet the reqs for unemployment. I have almost run out of the first 26 weeks, so I will have to re-apply soon. Well, with all these resumes I send out, I have only had one face-to-face interview for a 10 hour a week job. I am so overqualified for this job it's hilarious, except that ditchdiggers need civil engineering degrees these days. I have also had one phone interview. So two interviews in 6 months. With an average of 5-6 applications or email sent out each week. That is 130 contacts made. That is 1.5% response rate! This is also going to be a completely honest anonomous blog, so there is no way to use it or refer to it on the job opportunity requiring social networking skills.

So I started looking at webcam jobs, or web chat jobs. I am fairly good looking, let's just say I clean up well. I got some nice elective surgery, right after the divorce was final, when I still had a paycheck. Well, when people say "Are those real?" I say "they are covered with my real skin..." or "I paid for them with REAL money..." I applied and sent pictures into one of the webchat sites. They appear to be just getting started. I got a webcam, but my fiance is the only one benefiting right now from it. I also did not really think about it, but I have limited hours I can webcam, unless I am at my other house. I have no privacy. Nights, I have only 10pm and later to webcam, days, I guess 10 to 2. But who wants to jack off for $5.99 a minute between 12 and 2. There are sites where you can sell movies, that may work.

So my other problems? My room is not a very good studio to webcam from, it is more like a library than a harem. I have three huge bookcases and a bookcase headboard. Fiance says it is "not a girly-room." He is planning to help me move out the bookcases soon. Also I guess I have to spruce up in case there's anybody who wants to "take me live." I am not really accustomed to sprucing up at 10pm, but I can start a new habit for $5.99 a minute. That's probably not what I get. I don't know what my cut is. One site pays $1.00 a minute, with Wells Fargo cards. This is the site that looks unfinished. www.performervideochat.com if you'd like to try and guess which one is me. Ironic that I am in marketing and can't market this site. I hope it is not an elaborate scan to get my social security number. That would be totally fucking ironic right there.

I did want to do phone sex, like run a 1-900 number. I did send an email for a job listing like that, but never heard back. A friend I mentioned this to (as a joke of course) said I wasn't fat enough for the phone lines. I'm taking that as a compliment, but I really think everything is going to the web! Gotta go my roomates are home.
