Wowzer, so i got suckered BIG TIME. I'm pretty gullible, but this tops the list of gullible stuff I've fallen from (or comes pretty close).
So I help a ton of people at work at the counter and on the phone. It's nice, I enjoy dealing with people. An architect came to deliver some plans for us to review and she took my card (along with everyone elses) and she called me the next day asking if I was interested in making more money (duh, who isnt) and that she and her husband were always looking for enthusiastic happy people to grow their business. A normal, rational person would realize what was going on...but not me. It was a day when I was thinking about how much of a pay cut I took to take the job I'm at now and was having a bad day so I figured what could it hurt. Anyways, we set up a time and she asked that my husband join us. Bells should have gone off. But they didn't.
So...fast forward to today and I remind Austin that we have this meeting tonight. He warns me what is about to happen and i try to be positive...but am getting that bad feeling that I have been suckerd. So we show up at the meeting spot, which was IHOP. They come in, seem normal, and begin an hour long presentation on a pyramid scheme. My god. I can be SUCH an idiot sometimes. Austin had a great excuse though, he said that his company made him sign a no competition clause which excluded him from other businesses such as this one. But this just screamed out pyramid scam. Which, I am pretty sure, are fricken ILLEGAL.
Here's the kicker. The bill comes, we want to high tail it out of there. I had a water, Austin had a coke, and they had an ice tea and a coffee. The bill was like 7 bucks. Do you think they even bothered to offer to pay for us? Nope. I throw down a bit of money for us to cover the ONE drink we owed, for, and they made no attempt to pay for the one drink. Austin just tells me to throw a 10 down and pay for the other two, and we high tail it out of there.
Jeesh louise. I have idiot written ALL over my head today. And I think my husband still loves me. I think...
