I'm thinking of picking up a few hours a week at Starbucks, if they'll have me. Anyone ever work there?
As a freelance writer, I have two problems. One is no regular check. Yes, I get paid well for my work, but I'm subject to the vagaries of various pay systems and their paperwork--it can be months before I'll see that $4,000 check, for example, for a project I completed. Even if I just make 100 bucks a week, that's album money and a few groceries while waiting for the windfalls.
The other thing is I'm very homebound in this job. I do get out to talk with people and research the stories, of course, but not daily. I feel I sort of need some easy interaction with other human beings.
Plus I'll get a pound of coffee free a month, and all the coffee I can drink during my shift.
Whatcha think?
