Well, I guess it wasn't really a rejection to be honest, but it was sort of funny. Hunter Anderson, who works over in the Humanities Copy Center next door to my office told me about this company called ChaCha which answers questions via text messages. Apparently if you sign up to be a "guide" you can earn 10 cents for each answer that you give out.
It's a pretty simple job really, they have a site you log into and answer questions as they hand them out to you. No obligation for hours, no set number you have to meet, you just sort of make a few extra bucks whenever you feel like it.
After learning a little more about it I figured there was no harm in going through the short training because if it worked out I could make a little cash to help offset costs of having a new baby and such, and Holly could have done it too if she had wanted. Anyways, I went through the little training program and did my "test questions" to see if I was ready. Then all I had to do was wait for an email from ChaCha saying if I was approved or not.
Well, I didn't get approved, which made me laugh a little bit because the test questions weren't hard at all, and I know I had the right answers. After talking to Hunter about it this morning he thinks it is because they are restructuring a lot of things and how they do them and because of that they aren't hiring new guides at the moment. He says he thinks I'll get an email later on asking if I'm still interested or not.
If that happens, I'll probably take them up on it. Convenient money made in my free time is always a good thing I suppose.
