part-time work ideas

Recommended Posts

so grad school and a kid have turned out to be very expensive enterprises when combined together, especially in conjunction with financial goals that add up to more than just breaking even every month. i've got a really ambitious budget that involves putting away a substantial amount per month. and for various reasons that's simply not getting done. some of it's frivolous spending, some of it's unavoidable bills (our new insurance is absolute garbage and two quick doctors visits landed us $300 in out-of-pocket medical expenses just like that.)

 

i've been debating picking up some part-time work on the side to try to plug up some of the holes and cover expenses that keep popping up. anybody have thoughts on flexible options? i've tossed around everything from contracting with uber to seeing if i can land a gig bartending in charlotte a night or two a week when i'm down there, or getting on a lunch shift somewhere.

 

i've been slowly re-watching breaking bad too, so i'm also open to doing shady stuff.

I have taken uber many times and you'd be surprised by the people who are driving.

I was talking to the guy driving us home from the airport and he does it a couple nights a week because he son is on atraveling baseball team and needs the extra money.

 

If you want bartending...talk to roaring riot :)

2009 mini cooper clubman. slick ride, if the app lets you see what your options for car type it might work in my favor

 

The app does not but you can also get regular clients.

 

I have the choice between Uberx (reg car) UberXL (suv)and Uber Black (black car). Based on the location of the customer it gets routed to the closest car. They can accept or reject it and then it rolls over to the next closest and so on. (dont reject too many)

No one is going to want to get in the back of a mini. No offense. It may even have to be a sedan to qualify

 

quite possibly, i'll have to do the research and see. it's a clubman, not the regular, so it's got an extra foot and a half of room, which makes a massive difference in legroom and storage capacity.

 

edit: uber requires four-door cars, mine is 2… so that's out

Why is your new insurance "absolute garbage"?

 

to be honest i'm not even sure… my wife recently went to part-time at work because she's in grad school too, and it completely changed the insurance options. we pay for it monthly now instead of having it drafted from her paycheck through work. i haven't checked all the details, i just know the premiums are ungodly.

    • If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.
    • We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.
    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.
