Anyone get a side gig because of this crisis?

The refinery in my town is only letting essential personnel in.  Everyone else has been let go or else told not to report to work.  They contacted me and asked me to work about 8 hours a day doing drug screens on their essential personnel.  So I go there at 8am or 3pm and sit in an office for 8 hours waiting for people to show up.  There is a lot of down time.  I found a box of shared books, it said "Take one, Leave one."  Been reading "No Apology" by Mitt Ryan.  The stuff he wrote about in 2010 is happening in 2019 and 2020.  He had it nailed, down to the country and the perpetrators.  

But the intention of my post is the box of shared books.  When I finish this book called "The Drunk Diet", it's going to be placed in the box of shared books in the refinery administration building.  Some of you may know the guy that wrote the book.  If you can name him, I'll send you some of my 2021 calendars of scantily clad women.

I've had side gigs for years. Currently I do Taskrabbit. I've posted about it before but it pays well and can be pretty easy. You choose your skills and make your own schedule. I saw myself doing that plus owning buildings in the future. Slowed down since all of this but 600 bucks is better than zero. I also have a government W2 job.
