WAG - Not worth Repeating
I ‘m wary of falling in a rut. My daily routine doesn’t vary much. The scenery fluctuates, but I’ve crafted the working process into a mechanical procedure. It makes things more efficient, but leaves fewer opportunities for entertaining stories (there are always tales to be told, but only so many are worth recounting). After several posts in a row mentioning work, I vow that I shall make no more references to moth hunting for the rest of the posts.
With the possible exception, WORK WORK WORK, of the current throwaway line.
Anyway, um… pardon me while I whip my creative juices like a Nike sneaker sweatshop overseer.
HARDER!
FASTER!
AND DON’T FORGET! IF YOU EVER GET IN TROUBLE, ASK “W.W.J.D. (What Would Jordan Do)?
Well… it looks like they’re flowing, but I’d better kick up the quality control real quick.
The other thing that comes to mind is that if you stall long enough, material will provide itself (this is a constant. I would be a cliché except there’s no copyrighted way of saying it).
Case in point, the local news reported tonight that a company is ringing up people with UNCLAIMED MONEY as the moniker on Caller I.D.
Should someone call the follow-up number (713-789-8319, in case you’re interested and brain dead), people will hear an offer from LostFunds.com pledging to contact the government on your behalf to see if you qualify for any state funding… for a small fee.
If that sounds like a great deal to you, you probably need more sleep and/or need to reconsider your current drug choice. Most of you will easily recognize the outrageousness of such an incredible offer.
The crazy thing is that there is a kernel of truth in this scam, but it’s the part they don’t tell you. The government IS willing to give money to people. All you have to do is go to the State website, FOR FREE.
The spokesman for the State Attorney General, who apparently caught all the other dangerous criminals in Missouri to be able to spend his time on piddly things like this, said these people were more than just annoying scam artists who would go after you once.
People who just called back, but wised up before plunking down the idiot fee, still would be placed in a “Caught Suckers” for future reference. This list of identified “vulnerable consumers” could also be distributed to other scam artists who will add you to their commonly hounded calling list. Have a nice day.
The moral of the story: the government is always willing to give money away and smart people don’t need any help figuring that out.
There's something you shouldn't have to be told twice.
