Hello again. My poor coworker is attracting people we call stalkers again. Once he says these people stop calling, others start. It must be his magnetic personality, too bad I'm not hynotized by his charms. I think he's weird. My coworker gets phone calls at work by women he just met and they never leave a message for him to call back. He is hardly is at the counter so it gets annoying to have a woman call every 5 minutes until he comes back. When they do get him on the phone my ears listen to "What do you want? I'm at work." Once in a while one will leave message and he throws it away, so the next day the phone calls resume. Even when we tell them he has the day off. They go "Has he come to work yet? Where is he then? He is not answering his home phone." How would I know what my coworkers do on their day off?
Tonight the girl who left her name did not get a call back. My coworker explains he met her at a party once and weeks later she shows up at his job to talk to him. Then few weeks go by and he hears a car horn honking in his apartment parking lot at 2 A.M. He tells his roommate to get away from the window so she doesn't know which apartment he lives in. His roommate practical sticks his out and informs my coworker that this woman is writing something on his car with a bingo marker. He waited 2 hours before going out to see what she wrote. It was, Hi **** From ****. Then days later she leaves a message for him to call her. The girls attracted to my coworker often have screws missing in their brains. It is not just me who attracts weirdos.
Then this cop keeps stopping by to watch movies on my coworker's DVD player. We think that is amusing because this guy thinks marjuana is god and has the need for speed in his car, so he does not like the company of cops hanging around the counter. This cop is trying is sell this special membership to get jewelry at merchant prices. The only way you make money is to sell these memberships to others and they sell the memberships to others to make money. I said that sounded awfully like a pyramid scheme, but no, the cop assures it is legal. My coworker keeps telling him he is not interested, but the cop keeps pushing it.
If you are not familiar with pyramid schemes, I will explain. Somebody tries to sell you a share in a business, or memebership, or whatever, usually large amounts of money to buy into this investment. Then you try to sell it to others, keep a portion, and give the rest to the person who sold it to you. The only way you make money is if the people you sold whatever to sell it to others. You keep a cut of what your customers sell to others and send the rest to the one you bought from, thus creating a fanned out picture from seller to seller, called a pyramid. In reality, the only one making any profit is the one who started the scheme and collecting from everybody in the program. Thus the reason why pryamid schemes are illegal in every state in the country.
Here is a tip to distinguish pryamids from real investments: The fact that you are asking if this investment is legal should tell you that your instincts are telling you something is wrong. Otherwise the tip for distinguishing them: The fact you make money when your customers sell it to others. That is a pyramid scheme plain and simply. I'm surprised the cop did not figure that out. Post later. Bye!
