I’ve figured out my Plan B — the “just in case I get laid off” plan.
I’m going to be a private detective.
Maybe I’ve been watching too many “Veronica Mars” re-runs, but I think it would be a lot of fun. The days usually don’t start too early, and usually run late in the night. There’s stuff to look up online. There’s actually a chance to get out of the office — something my current profession does not offer. I’d get to improve my photography skills. And practice drinking, most likely in seedy bars. There could be disguises. And there would be fun techy gadgets!
Missouri does not require private detectives to be licensed, but St. Louis requires a business license. So as soon as I get my first case, I’ll get that license.
Next I need to come up with a name for my detective agency, and find a case. Ideas?
P.S. There’s a rumor of a “Veronica Mars” movie. Yay!
I like it. The sports info director of one of the teams I cover has a summer job as a P.I.
