Day 177: What To Do? What To Do?

Listening: I'm gonna have to run away. I'm sure that I belong some other place. I've seen another side of all I've seen.

What's my problem? I need to formulate a way to not spend money.

So I was thinking about the time before I head down to Atlanta and before I head out to southeast Asia. I thought to myself that I need to find a way not to spend any money. I need to have my net income/expenditures be $0. In accounting terms, I need my debits and credits to cancel each other out.

So, here's what I was thinking. If I can't get some freelance work from the Chez or the Dizzle, or any of my various friends in the industry, I'll pimp out my services to my friends and my friends of friends. Here's how it'll be. I'll go out and buy the groceries. If it's a long cooking braised dish, I'll prep and cook everything at home. Either they will come and pick me up or I'll cab over to their place and I'll finish the meal for them. In return, they will pay for the groceries and pay for my travel to and from their house (if they pick me up, they don't have to worry about it). If they choose to tip me, that's their business (though, as you would guess it would be heartily welcomed).

Think about it. It'll be deep winter time. It'll be cold. People will want hearty warm food, which means braised meat, stews, soups. A lot of that kind of food takes time. It takes time to make a good stock. It takes time to braise a piece of meat. They'll be taking advantage of the fact that I have nothing better to do other than sit at home and wait for a braise to be finished.

So, if you're interested, or know someone who might be interested, let me know. We'll see what I can work out for you.
