People looking for a part time position that is proving to be basically recession proof might be interested in placing and servicing Vending Machines. It is an “all cash” business, and you either work as an independent contractor or as a part time employee of an established company. But even if you are working for another company, you are still pretty independent. You don’t have a boss riding around with you, bugging you all day and snooping over your shoulder.

Most of the daily duties involve driving to where you have placed the machines that display and sell candies and snacks, and you service those Vending machines. You replenish the items being sold, and collect the money from the coin box. Sometimes you might have to replace the coin changer or the coin mechanism. That’s pretty easy – you loosen a couple of screws and the old one pops right out. I’ve watched a guy do it to the machines in our office building lobby.

Everyone knows I’m an independent type of person. The idea of a Vending Machine Business is the type of business that I find very attractive. I found a good web site that explains the business model. You can easily find a web site to order the equipment. So it is a very do-able business venture for the right person.

Today is Linda’s birthday. I wrote a nice note on her Facebook page and wanted to call her, but I heard that she had plans to go out to dinner and then get right into bed. She has to get up at 4:00 am during the week, so she has an early bedtime. Add that to the time zone difference between Virginia and Tennessee, and it is almost impossible to call her on the phone and just chat during the week.

So, here’s another Happy Birthday wish, little sister! Hope it was very happy!
