Don't take it.

It will make you exhausted and Monkey neurotic, and you'll both be miserable. You could make more money (a lot more) doing phone sex just a few hours a week, and be less stressed out.

THIS.

JUST THINK OF EVERY GUY CALLING YOU AS BEING 30-50, OVERWEIGHT, WEARING A BAD MULLET, AND DRIVING A CLONE CAR.  YOU'LL BE FINE.

Seriously Freeky, when I was a "voice actress" I made $5 for picking up the phone, and $1/minute after the first 15 minutes. A lot of guys get off in the first 15 minutes, so if I got 4 calls an hour I was at $20/hour, but I also had a lot of rich and/or stupid guys who would keep me on the line for hours just talking. At $1/minute. I burned out on it after a year but it was good money while it lasted. You would just need your own phone line and some privacy. You sign on to work when you're available, and you can draw whatever lines you want (ie no brown, beast, pedo). My switchboard girls were really awesome, and I emailed in my invoice and got paid every two weeks.

You tend to get more dedicated regulars if you specialize in something like humiliation or SM. I would put up with almost anything weird (sans the abovementioned pervo stuff) so I had some very, very interesting clients.

Nigel, you have unintentionally invented trolling boot camp

You get to practice degrading, humiliating, and shouting at hundreds of anonymous, willing, PAYING people.

This is ideal encouragement for sharpening the skills.

True!

After that I moved on to alt.support.shyness. Those guys were... I can't describe them. They paid not in money, but in lulz.

Update: I quit. My friend's mom said she tried to work at the very same place I went to, and it is, indeed, a scam.

Good! No scams for Freeky. Truly, try "voice actressing". It will burn you out fast, but get you money for independence and further ventures.

Good for you, Freeky.  Now keep plugging.  Also, with your narrative skills, Nigel may be on to something.

Thanks for the tip.

Bump, since I'm having too much drama lately.


Just got a text from the ex, it seems he was served today. He decided since i was serving him, he wasn't going to give me a statement verifying he pays child support (which i thought I needed for to get my benefits renewed.) After a back and forth, in which he accused me of spitting in his face and claiming to pay more than the courts would require, he has threatened to keep me from having full custody of the Monkey (my original worry is gone for now, but I have other lesser concerns) and is going to "put an injunction on [me] from moving".

THE LULZ! OH GOD, THE UNMITIGATED LULZ!

How do you put an injunction on someone against relocating in the same city?  

If you were crossing state lines with the monkey, he might be able to do it...But given:

1.  The hilarious idea of how little he thinks the state will ding him for, and

2.  His record for following through with his ridiculous threats,

I think you're on safe ground.  Save the texts, too, so you can demonstrate that he tried to cut off food and insurance to the monkey.
