Oh, the irony

Yesterday morning as I was chasing down freelance gigs, I came across the following buyer requests on Fiverr that tickled my funny bone, or maybe I should say the irony button.

I come across a lot of dishonest people wanting to hire vendors to do their homework for them, but few are quite so blatant as these. Of course, I did not respond to them. Some things do not deserve the dignity of a response, rather like those RFPs seeking writers who will work for less than $1 per hour.

Unfortunately, it must be the month when students are scrambling to turn in assignments, because I’ve come across pitifully few good gigs in the last three weeks. That means that I’m begging for work. Therefore, if any of you reading this is in need of a good writer or editor, please consider me.

As is appropriate for the fourth week of November, I would like to express my gratitude for clients, family, and friends for their business and support. I truly appreciate you.

Yeah, you knew I wouldn’t get all mushy.
