I didn’t think we could get it any anything near to 20 questions, so sure…let’s go to, say, 40.

And I’m going to cheat and say that your post doesn’t count, since, I meant to say (and certainly implied) the answer in the OP: no, m job involves no writing as such.

I killed a man in Vegas for calling me that once.

Okay, it was Reno, and it was just to watch him die, but the point’s the same.

And no, I am not a telemarketer.

Does your job require special licensing or certification?

Do you place temps?

You will have to rephrase that question before I can answer it in a way that is not misleading.

Are you an exotic cage dancer?

One exception: I’d rather not discuss pay, except to say up front that it’s less than $50 K.

If the answer isn’t Evil Overlord or something to that effect, then my image of our beloved Skald is forever shattered.

I was under the impression that Evil Overlords make considerably more the $50K per year. Correct me if I am wrong.

I need you to rephrase the question so I can answer it without ambiguity.

No.

Agreed. It was poorly poorly phrased.

Do you deal with editing other peoples’ written essays/articles/submissions, etc.?

Sllly rabbit. Evil Overlords don’t draw a salary at all, as all moneys in the realms they have conquered is theirs by right of conquest; if anything, an Evil Overlord’s income is equivalent to his/her nation’s GDP.
