Clever. You should be a democratic strategist. I know you are a fan of AOC since she joined the Raiders, maybe she has a job for you on her team.

I'll check. My profession is largely dedicated to rationalizing stupid government policies. It's not a skillset I value, but I do have it.

Your profession must afford you a flexible schedule so you can wash trade comments and zaps on SN with me and siggy all day. Siggy is fully retired, I am partly retired. You are doing some real PoW managing your job and a p/t SN job.

Are you familiar with the term "sinecure"?

Also a prominent feature of my profession

I wasn't familiar with that term until right now.

Good gig if you can get it.

I had a very good contract job in 2022 that only required around two solid hours a day to complete and paid fairly well but unfortunately they didn't renew after the 6 month term ended. It was shortly after that ended that I started spending a lot of time on SN. I have really only done odd jobs since then. I do get some commissions from my old business and the occasional project but it doesn't amount to much. I am actively looking for something new now but I am very selective. I only apply for things I think I will really like or work well with my family schedule.
