Outsourced

I’m sitting in a hotel lobby (in Orlando this time) watching a lady erect Christmas trees. It’s only mid November (and there are palm trees outside) so I’m not exactly ready yet to snuggle on the couch with the Charlie Brown Christmas Special. The interesting thing, however, is that the lady is wearing a shirt that says “Holiday Crew” with a phone number on the back. This means that she gets paid to go places and decorate. The question this leads me to isn’t so much “I wonder how much they pay to outsource their holiday cheer,” but rather, “I wonder how many of my hobbies I could get paid for?” Hmm, I wonder if this is how Scrooge got his start.
