Gena Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Manuscript/book editor...the kind where you can sit in bed and read interesting novels, mark-up any errors you find, and get paid for it! Or maybe a movie reviewer...pop in the latest movie on your TV and give your opinions on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus88 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 How about an extra on shows like Crossing Jordan, CSI, etc. - they always need actors to play the dead people. Sounds perfect to me! Oh, how still we can lie . . .(And trust me - the editing job isn't so perfect if your dysautonomia affects your ability to think! I did it full-time for 2 years and have done it part-time for nearly 15. There are days when I can barely spell my own name!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Yeah! Join sag and try out for fainty and dead person parts! I like that, they at least have to pay you something to play dead. And it could save them on makeup I think somedays when I look in the mirror! morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyYount Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 The extra suggestion cracked me upHow about an artists modelMy husband suggested that I come to his A and P class to be a live model to point out muscles etc. or for use in his practicals HAHAHAHA!

Merrill Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I gotta tell ya, I got hired as an "extra" for the movie Music Box ... I was to appear in still photographs that were used in one scene ... and I was a Holocaust victim, so I was dead and technically lying down. (This was fifteen years ago...) It was grueling and exhausting and extremely unpleasant. You do NOT want that job ... and if you cannot take an extremely high level of stress, you also do not want to be a newspaper editor! That's my sourpuss 2 cents for the day. These job strands are extremely clever... If I can think of anything more positive to say, I'll add. For now, I'm grumpy. Maybe it's from the unpleasant memory that just got stirred up... Happy Friday!m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnA Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Tearose, I like your suggestion mattress tester. It is the only one I qualify for. Maybe we could add sheets pillows and blanket tester. I wish they made adult blankets as soft as they do baby blankets. I want one of those soft blanket with satin in my size!!!Next time a Docter asks me if I am working...I will say as soon as I find a job as couch or matress tester.
