No, you're not being negative, you're putting all my own thoughts into words. haha. This is the reason why I have known about this for years but have never done anything about it; because it sounds way too strange to me too.

If I actually do decide to do it - which remains unlikely - I would definitely just get in with an ongoing firm and be one their on-call consultant type people or whatever they call them. I have no desire to run my own business and get a business license. I would do this as a way to just earn a litle money on the side, not a full time job for sure.

You really would think that living in a city would make it easier to stay organize, right? But one of the things that always amazes me about this place is where people's priorities are. I know of so many people here who simply never make the time to do things like cleaning their house/apartment, making their own meals to take to work or even making their own meals to eat at home. It's a culture of "I work to do, I don't have time for that." I guess this is one of those things the wealthy big city people do to make their lives easier or something? Which leads me to another problem with the whole idea... If I did it, I would have to spend my time dealing with wealthy upper crust people who would think of me as their "help." woot! haha.
