Working from Home

I have a shopping list growing like Jack's Bean Stalk!

Tonight I checked my email and found that pig in a poke I signed up for -- promising work at home -- actually did respond and I was invited for an audio audition. I'd passed the pre-screen several days ago and then thought it died -- just a spam artist. Well, I got an email. So I gargled, did my do re mi's and called the toll free number to make my audition recording -- just bland data, no 'how would I save the world' beauty contest questions, they were just listening for comprehension, clarity, and tone of voice. I think I blew it. But maybe not. Depends on the rest of my desperate unemployed peers.

But that means I'm suddenly extremely self conscious about my home office. I need a new printer. I'll need a new phone. Sure would be nice if I could get a Mac. Maybe a laptop. How do I manage these wires? Its a mess in here, and I need new lighting.

You know, even if I get this job, it only pays $7 bucks an hour, and I've already spent several fictional paychecks in my head.

Keep it simple. Let's see if these blokes even pick me.
