Please don't take this too seriously.

My roommate is regularly on the phone until 1 or 2 in the morning. I figure if there's any point at which bludgeoning him into unconsciousness with my table fan becomes socially acceptable, it's then.

Drug dealing and waiting tables are out, because I'm terrible at customer service.

Also 'very successful' sales, but you have to be a special person to handle all the rejection. (which based on this thread disqualifies you)

Delivering pizza?

[Lorizael]

That pays well?

I think there are remote IT help desk jobs that allow you to log in from home and work really odd hours.

Did I mention that when my roommate starts his nightly phone call, he moves from room to room in the house and makes sure to open and close all the doors he goes through as he does so and that I've run out of antidepressants and am also running out of reasons not to beat him to a bloody pulp with the stool I keep my TV on?

HEY ****NUGGET YOU'VE BEEN IN THE LIVING ROOM AN AWFULLY LONG TIME WHY DON'T YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM, TAKE A ****, THEN LEAVE THE TOILET SEAT UP AND NOT TURN OFF THE BATHROOM LIGHT, ALL WHILE STILL TALKING ON THE PHONE (true story).

It's easy to get distracted when you're on the phone. I speak from experience

[Lorizael]

He just took a jaunt out onto the front porch, which is nice, because I can't hear him as well, but also lets in a draft and the front door is kind of ****ed up so it takes him several tries to slam it shut whenever he goes in and out.

[Lorizael]

He's moved on to his second phone call because apparently the first person had stayed up past their bedtime. Meanwhile, it's 28 out and supposed to snow tomorrow, but ****face had turned the heat off. BRAGGJKFLE.

I make most of my money when sleeping. While it's not a tremendously stable income, if I didnt feel like working until say ... April ... I could probably get away with it without a big hit to income. Hours are completely up to me. It's along the lines of what Rah said... only instead of contracting out programming to someone else, I do it for my own projects. There are variations that require almost no technical skills. Writing skills are useful but not required.

If I could add in the other thing Rah said and become even a decent salesman Id be rich. My "walk-in traffic" is about a million people a month and the overhead is insignificant.

What is it you do exactly? Sounds kinda interesting.

And Lori, your 'roommate' (this is a person that shares your flat, not someone who shares your room?), is totally out of order across multiple levels.

Basically, if he wants to be talking to people at that time of night, he needs to make sure you can't hear him.

[ricketyclik]

Yeah, I agree. The reasonable cutoff time is when you want to go to sleep.

Yeah, we Americans don't use the term flatmate. We occupy separate rooms in a single house.

I make website/apps, generally game related. Basically, play games, determine where players are looking for help/info about the game, and make a site or app that provides what they are looking for.
