A word of caution before you accept the job at Best Buy, Les. Read through their employment contract very carefully. For some reason, many of these large retail companies are doing what Blockbuster started years ago, throwing in a clause that anything you create, write, etc, during the term of your employment, on the clock or off the clock, belongs to them.

Yeah mate - you’d make the best villian ever!..can truelly imagine you swinging a giant sword in the next Indy-jones movie!

Those types contractual clauses are, well, practically unenforceable in any sane state’s court of law.

[1] Unless they can prove you did the work on their property (such as a BestBuy jobsite or on BestBuy owned equipment), or can cast doubt on whether you truly created X widget on your own hours and your own hardware, they don’t stand a chance of enforcement, much less acquiring financial penalties—and BestBuy’s lawyers know that, too.
[2] If your laweyer can prove that *any* part of their contract was not held up by BestBuy, then the entire contract is thrown out, in toto.  That goes for state/federal employment laws (e.g., you didn’t get a bathroom break, etc.)
[3] Many states, like New York, have ruled against such silliness, such as non-compete clauses.  That said, there is an exception: In cases where an individual terminates their employment and then accepts employment (without due dilligence to persue employment elsewhere) with an entity/company/division directly in competition with the former employer, such a clause would never be enforced (e.g., Kai-Fu Lee and the Google/MSFT Seattle lawsuit).

Also, remember, in just such cases as this, you cannot enforce such clauses (or contracts) when an individual is *compelled* to enter into a contract.  What constitutes being compelled?  Well, when the employee’s well-being is at risk (e.g., is in severe financial hardship, threat of physical or psychological harm to one’s self or family).

Trust me, i’ve had former psycho bosses (i’ve worked for more than one) hang “no-compete” and “works/creations during said employment’s duraction” clauses over my head post-employment; One letter from *your* lawyer to *their* lawyer will take care of it, no problem.  And i know lawyers who will gladly, with true giddiness, take such cases for merely a stake in the spoils; That’s how easy such cases usually are for former employees.

Any lawyer with half a brain would gladly take on such a case for your (and their) fiscal benefit.  Such a case would be like shooting fish in a bucket.
