<prompt> Human: As a federal employee, I would welcome ideas for temporary employment during the shutdown. It would need to be something that I could start right away and could last a week or two, depending on how long it takes for DC to agree on a budget. A family at home and bills to pay and no guarantee that we will get paid retroactively. Thanks!Update: Yesterday, right before the shutdown ended, I attended a Lyft orientationtraining and got my Lyft license. As someone in the comments said, its nice to ha e in my back pocket. I havent tried driving yet, but look forward to trying it and meeting new people. Ive thought about a new reason for driving Lyft: writing a book. Thanks all!  <response>: If you want an option where you dont want to risk having drunkies in your car, you can see if Amazon offers their delivery services in your area. Drop off packages make some cash.
