Felons Doing Mystery Shopping

I was convicted of a felony when I was 20. It was non-violent and non-sexual in nature. However, it will follow me for the rest of my life. Despite having a college degree, it is extremely difficult to find a decent job. I have been lucky enough to find a management position in hospitality with a company that decided to overlook what happened 14 years ago. I am able to supplement that with mystery shopping to make a very good living. I do, however, have to work about 60+ hours per week. We live in a VERY unforgiving society.
I think offering to moderate would be the way to go.

I don't think it is appropriate for anyone to PM the owner of a forum and ask to become a moderator. I am sure JacobJ is aware of who is naughty and who is nice on this forum. Eventually, the nice guys will receive an offer to become a moderator.
I am not implying that MFJohnston would or wouldn't be a good moderator by this post.

I would offer to moderate. And I think I would be a spectacular one. But I would never be allowed to be a moderator and I would NOT be anonymous. All my mod edits would have a BG attached to the end.

On first read I thought that was BIG. Speaking of being full of one's self
Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you. It's not pie.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of your time and it really annoys the pig.

I thought of several things that "BG" could stand for, LOL.
Y'all are so mean to me I think I'm just gonna go sit in the corner and cry

Are you going to eat some worms, too?

I am apparently not cool enough to understand this pop culture reference?

OMG "I'm gonna eat some worms" might be something you don't know because you are too YOUNG, griff. Google it. If you don't know how, Lisa can provide you with a useful link (smirk).
Another thing: Griff has been moderated before, and more than once I think. Doesn't that make someone ineligible to become a moderator? Yeah, it was unfair and senseless moderating, but you still were CENSORED, LOL. So...

Thank you for sharing! I definitely agree in our society it’s hard to get second chances from very many people. That’s great to hear that you were able to find a company to look past your old history. I used to tell the inmates I worked with that were getting ready for release it’s so important that if someone gives you a chance to not screw it up because you never know if/when you will get another chance at decent employment.
