    Seaweed, this job sounds like an unacceptable reality for you. I just don't understand how you can be out delivering newspapers early Sunday morning when the final line movements are being made, injuries are being finalized, and the cheerleaders are selecting their favorite panties. These are all crucial elements that made you the top NFL handicapper the last 38 seasons.

    Would your boss allow you to deliver the paper six days a week, and maybe Sunday everyone on your route can receive a free online subscription to the newspaper articles? Explain to your boss the importance of Seaweed Nation. I'm pretty sure he can make this arrangement.

    The people of SBR are relying on you this fall, Seaweed. Don't let them down.

    We're not relying on him at all.

    Just post your NFL plays as The Giant.

    Thanks for the advice. I took time to think it over and have decided not to take the job. I will only be committed to Seaweed Nation.

    Can't you borrow some money from your grandma and use it as your bankroll?

    She could be like a Seaweed Nation backer.

    I'm sure if you showed her the long-term success that you've had as a handicapper she would be willing to help.

I have never really had a job before but this could be the real deal to kick start my financial career. The job is simple as all i do is make sure everyone in my grandma's neighborhood gets their newspaper. The only problem is i am also required to work on Sunday morning. As we all know, Sunday morning is my prime time for NFL final breakdowns. I am a handicapper before all else, and i don't want to sacrifice my sunday morning for Seaweed Nation. At the same time, i really could use the money to invest into my plays to get a greater profit. I ran a trial today and timed myself to see how fast i could knock off the neighborhood without any newspaper. Unfortunately, i got some complaints by some people because they didn't understand what i was training for so i missed the last 14-17 houses. My time was officially recorded with my stopwatch and it took 1h 27m 37s (without the last 14 -17 houses). Should i take the job? I'm not sure if it's worth losing over an hour of study time. And second, anyone have any tips on how i could improve my time?
    Do you know someone else, sibling/cousin/friend, who may need a bit of extra cash to do Sundays for you? If you decide to do this option i would advise to tell you boss though. Im sure they would be ok with it if you explained your reasons and reassured them that you had confidence in the person who would take over your Sunday?

    You have been very helpful Natalie. I appreciate your advice. However, i have decided not to take the job because not only does it interfere with my schedule, but i've heard it could be a very physically demanding and dangerous job.

    Once again, thank you Natalie. You are really a great newswoman.
