It's official...YAY!
After a year and a half contracting, I got the "Thanks, see ya' around." As of June 30th I will be once again seeking employment. So, I was wondering...I'll probably (assuming I don't find something else right away) be riding around downtown on my bike. I will be pretending to be a messenger. I will ferry small packages across the city and back again and then consume the contents. Donuts, beer...etc. How can I make sure this ruse has the credibility that I want? Is my metropolis big enough to look authentic or do I have to get a kremlin first? Merton...thoughts?

I will contract you to go buy donuts then eat them. I will send money through paypal for each run.
It's for my start up business: Food Express Inc.
then you shall have the job experience to stop pretending to mess and actually go do it. I will even supply walkie talkies. the other end will actually be a baby monitor.

When I was a kid we didn't have messengers, but I used to like to pose as a paper boy. I would take a few weeks worth of old newspapers, roll them up, put them in a newspaper bag I got at a yardsale, and ride around and throw them at random people's lawns. My parents got rid of their old newspapers, and I got huge respect because people thought I had a job.
