(many churches look to seminary students or former seminary student to do fill in preaching &#8211; they call it pulpit supply &#8211; when a pastor is on vacation) I&#8217;ve been tempted to put together a business card with that side job on it, &#8220;Serving God and mammon since 1997.&#8221; Also, I work in a children&#8217;s home. The overnight shift at the home allows me to work online during downtime. And then sometimes I do the freelance gig too. Who doesn&#8217;t?<\/p>\n\n<p>By day I work for <span class=\"caps\">IBM <\/span>as an engineer. By night, I&#8217;m an investigator for my wife&#8217;s private investigations company http:\/\/www.travisinvestigations.com\/ [travisinvestigations.com] . I get to help spy on cheating wives and husbands, catch people in insurance fraud and other such things. Probably the part I enjoy the most is when I get to make use of new electronic tools like covert <span class=\"caps\">GPS <\/span>tracking devices etc&#8230; What I dislike are the long nights surveiling some cheating spouse or watching someone to see if they are poor parents in custody cases. Of course I also take care of the company computers (mostly Macs believe it or not).<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A selection of slashdot readers&#8217; part-time jobs: Throughout my years as a Unix admin, I have been a working blacksmith and woodworker in exotic woods.
