labor day, no labor

i realized that i have this whole upcoming weekend free. of course, i probably have school work i could do, but i'd really like to make some money. i went on craigslist to look for jobs in the ETC. category because they are usually temporary, but nothing for this upcoming weekend. then i thought, why don't i post that i want a job for this weekend. i went to the post classified link and clicked, then, i went to the gigs link and clinked, then i clicked i want to offer services, they there was this page asking you what type of services you were offering. this is where i hit a snag, auto services, computer services, creative services, household, labor&moving, theraputic (non-erotic), erotic, the list went on and on and i felt like i didn't fit into any of them. i wouldn't dare say i could offer creative services, that seemed cocky. and i didn't want to end up cleaning someone's house all weekend, or moving furniture. i know part of the problem is me not being aware of what i want to do, but i also feel that i truely have no marketable job skills. one of the jobs i looked at was for proofreader, they wanted you to know APA style, MLA style, and Chicago. Where are people learning these things? How come I haven't? I don't want to ask the question because I already know the answer, have i not got the most bang for my buck in regard to higher education. i'm afraid so. the whole thing reminded me of this episode of the golden girls where dorothy, who is looking for work, has rose put an add in the classifieds saying that she will do anything for eight dollars an hour. and i mean, if you ask me, dorothy was just asking for it with an add like that and asking rose to take to the newspaper office. so rose puts the add in the personals instead of the classifieds and these men show up. the first one says, "you, dorothy. me, toto." the next one says, "are you dororthy?" and dorothy answers, "yes." and the guy looks at her and says, "i'll give you four dollars." dorothy kicks all the guys out and is mad at rose for being such a nimconpoop (sp). its a pretty good episode.
