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?
I wish I knew about this earlier...Maybe next time?
Is it 10 PM yet?
Whew, just made it. I hate running that close to deadline.
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.
