Ugh sorry to hear this 
Rejection blows so much

Weird - most rejections don’t require a phone conference. This just means it wasn’t the right job. The right job is out there.

Yeah… I mean, I get that they wanted to very politely deliver the news. But the scheduling a call made it worse than it needed to be.
I’m also not sure the right job is out there. Is there a way that I can make unreasonable amounts of money by screwing around with hobbies for 20 hours a week?

YouTube (or other social media) Influencer?

I uh… Well. Ya’ll may as well know. I used to be a youtube personality. Things got weird. The number of unsolicited genitals pictures climbed into the hundreds per day. Dudes are gross.
It culminated in a very pushy offer from someone in the middle east who wanted me to come live in their oil baron palace and be their 24/7 personal trainer for a 7 figure salary. Tempting, but this is how you end up in a cage having shrimp thrown at you. After that, I sort of went underground.

I make moderate amounts of money doing not much for not many hours a week, except for when it’s a ton of work for a ton of hours. Be a landlord/ property manager!

I enjoy everything about this factoid except your obvious discomfort with the direction things went in. There are many “easy ways to make money” and sadly most of them involve unsolicited genitalia as discusse or implied d in Janet Jackson’s journal.
I think snacky is right though that your closest non gross approach is to climb the real estate ladder. Or go back in time and become a dot come billionaire and not go bust

First patient is a no show. Office is freezing. My shoes squeak. I can’t afford the real estate ladder. BF is not coming to cat party because it’s too many people all at once, which means we need to get psyched up for and plan another event.
I don’t have an unlimited shoe budget.

I mean, the story is pretty funny now. I just had no idea what to do with it back then. Maybe I do a start-up that identifies these pictures and forwards them to the senders grandma.

An automatic tool that searches the social media profile it comes from and picks out the likeliest person to be their mom and forwards the message to them would be GLORIOUS. I have sent a couple “do you know what your son is up to” messages to dipshits who send unsolicited junk pics from their FB accounts and clearly have their mom listed. Always deeply gratifying. To be fair, I was far too nice/conflict avoidant/whatever to forward to junk pic to the mom, I just told them what they did.
My tiny complaint: It’s pretty damn cold and windy, I’m 39 weeks pregnant, and my belly has a gap under most of my clothing and gets super cold. But I refuse to buy any new clothes, obviously. So I’m uncomfortable and/or trapped inside. It’s annoying.

It’s so cold! I’m guessing you don’t have a coat that you can zip over your belly, since you’re planning not to have that big of a belly before winter comes. That’s hard. I never thought about that challenge with fall babies.
My complaint is that I have to go teach a first grade reading group in ten minutes and I don’t want to. There’s too many of them, some of them are savages (to quote a fifth grader of mine who helps first graders at the end of the day), and the reading curriculum is sooooooo boring.

The sexy neighbour at the rental and I flirt so hard whenever we see each other, and it never goes anywhere. The guy has a hot tub! He needs to invite me over.

Well, first I will apologize because -
HAHAHAHAHA! OMG!
Yes, please hunt down the senders of those pictures - can you make that their avatar or cover photo on all of their social media accounts - LinkedIn would be a good start.

I’ve never had this happen to me and I would definitely fund this venture.
