On: Your waitress, your professor

[lisper]

I am actually in need of an underemployed physicist. I'm writing a book about quantum mechanics and I need a consultant to make sure I get the math right. I was going to put an ad on Craigslist, but maybe someone here has a lead?

I don't know if he does this sort of thing, but I recommend Jonathan Walgate. He has a Ph.D. from Oxford in quantum physics and a business helping people to write grants. He's also a great guy! (I used to do quantum physics.)

Thanks for the lead!

It would be amazing if the guy you replied to somehow ended up hooking that cashier up with a job.

Well, it would just be a small consulting gig, not really a job. But yeah, it would be cool.

StackExchange and/or AskScience at reddit can be useful for this sort of thing (though possibly not for lots of repeat queries).
