So I poseted this ad on craigslist: http://houston.craigslist.org/lbs/127628172.html

I am a broke college student, inbetween jobs. I need to make some cash to pay for gas and books for this semester at Houston Community College. I’m a pretty big guy and a volunteer fire fighter, so I am pretty useful for ANY manual labor (lawn care, moving residence, boxes, etc) but I am also extremely well versed in computers.I have also, in my recent employment history, cleaned pools.

Summary:
I will do almost anything to make some ends meet right now

I also play guitar and sing, if you’re lonely/bored and want to hear a guy sing some prety songs for you, I can do that too.

I Actually got a RESPONSE. This woman, Katherine, called me back and had all this stuff for me to do including:
-Setting up computers at her office
-Cleaning the pool she has (in her front yard, haha)
-Random yardwork

She also asked if I had a cell phone and I said “well… yes but I’m not current on the bill right now…” to which she replied “Oh don’t worry I have this prepaid phone I’ll let you borrow so I can contact you.”

But then she calls me back.
“How much do you owe on your cell phone”
me: “like $80″
her: “who is your provider”
me:”Cingular”
her:”Well I have Cingular too so how about you bring your bill and I can help you get that paid tomorrow so we can be in contact”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She’s also going to buy my lunch the days I work with her and comp some gas.

What a blessing.
