I am doing seasonal contract flower delivery using my own car. Did Valentine's Day and looking to do Mother's Day week. Also running an Ebay store. Plan to take SS next year at age 62. I'd love to also work part-time in a garden center.

Do they let the employees see the movies for free? Aren't they out front in the ticket booth or behind the concession stand while the movies are on?

A friend of mine works at the county elections office. She works at poll stations during elections, so it's very intermittent work. The pay is also not great. But it's pleasant and easy. Gives her a little spending money.

The best part-time retirement job is a job that you would do for nothing. What would you like to do?

Shelving books at the library is very stress free and you get exercise at the same time. Not to mention the added benefit of seeing all the books available.

Funny.
Except that many people out there have an expensive watch and can't tell time correctly.

How can someone be so retarded as to not be able to tell time correctly? I have yet to encounter that.

You missed the point of my posting. It was that many people think they don't need consultant, yet they really do need one. In my line of work I see so much waste and inefficiency....maybe hiring a consultant would be a good thing.
