    Can I ask for an extension?

    J/k.

    Actually thought of applying for that for some extra experience. But… full time job, full time school, may be my limit on work. Guess I have til 10pm to figure it all out.

    What’s this job pay? Can you direct deposit drawings of spiders to my bank account? Also when I sign my name it sometimes looks like gentials.

    That you are unwilling to post how much the position pays will discourage some from responding.

    After all – this site jumps all over vendors who try to hide how much something costs – not stating the pay is close to the same thing.

    I have more than enough time, experience, training, talent, and inclination for the job… but I’m too CONSUMERIST to accept a stipend and then have to file self-employment addends to my tax return for the privilege of being a “freelancer.”

    I have a star. That makes me qualified, right?
