Seasonal (LEGIT!) work-frome-home opportunity (limited states)
:wave: Hey all - I didn't quite know where to post this, but it's here now. I just got a job with 1 (800) Flowers taking orders from the comfiness of my own living room. I know that there are many people out there looking for a chance to work from home, so I thought I'd post this lead.
Hey, it may not pay a lot, but I don't have to go out in the cold and snow/rain AND iI get to work in my bunny slippers and sweats!
