The pay is good, but the work itself is kind of tedious. There are some incredibly slow periods.The slow periods are the part I have the problem with. I have used them to do everything from writing checks to pay my bills to perusing the internet to hunt up recipes for interesting cocktails. Every few months I invite my co-workers to my house for a party and make sure I use the cocktail recipes when prepping for the event, that way I figure the time I spent searching for them can at least be considered constructive.I’ve recently added something else to the list of things I do while on the job.

Their interest has become so great that instead of a cocktail party, next time I invite them over, it’s going to be called a vaping party.It was during a recent slow period that I learned that I could use e-cigarettes and my co-workers interest in them to bolster my savings. I have signed up for the rewards program with my favorite ecig brand and I get free products and discounts for recommending the e-cigs to my friends. The next time one of my co-workers expresses an interest in getting e-cigarettes of their own, I will invite them to use the link and I’ll earn points towards more e-cig products for my own collection!
