working for the man
Nov. 3rd, 2009 11:19 pmSo, I've been making a little extra cash working as a KGB Agent.
Man, that sounds cool when you say it like that.
Anyways, I'm answering questions from home for that KGB texting service - you may have seen the commercials. It pays shit, but I can do it in my pajamas, and I can work whenever I want, pretty much. I started it mostly out of boredom, and if that ends in a little extra crafting money each month, well, there you go. :)
I've discovered that, with few exceptions, all the texts I get can fit into one of three categories:
A) sports & video game questions;
B) dirty crap meant to make us uncomfortable;
and C) homework questions.
The homework questions are the most hilarious, in my opinion. It takes real balls to transcribe your history homework over text message and put your faith in someone who's being paid 10 cents to answer that question well enough to get the homework right. Plus, I love when it's an essay question. What are you expecting to get in response? We have 160 characters, people.
Also, I answered way too many questions today about condoms breaking and herpes and anal sex. I don't get paid nearly enough to visit the websites needed to answer those questions.
Favorite question of the day: Someone wanted a pick up line that involved Superman in some way.
My response: "Are you wearing any Kryptonite, by chance? Cause you're making me weak in the knees." Superman, being a douchebag already, really lends himself to good cheesy pickup lines.
