Well then, not an hour after my bitching, all of NAU is shutting down. This after one of the campus bus lines could no longer negotiate a mild incline, "stranding" 40 students in the post-apocalyptic, inescapable snow tundra that lies a five minute walk to campus buildings in each direction, prompting violent tweeting from the "stranded" students.


The hilarious detail: That means grounds services will stop clearing operations as soon as the rest of campus shuts down. :laffo:

NAU grads around here are known for being worthless manchildren (working for the defense contractor their dad works for) and/or trophy wives or utterly incompetent community college associate professors. Your commentary seems to be showing how the forge them so effectively

Good work story:

Doing a background check on a potential hire for a hotel franchise owner we are contracted with, I found the dude's unsecured dropbox, tons of pictures of him cooking meth and some instructional pdfs on how to do it, possibly written by the guy, not sure. I tipped off the local sheriff after I delivered the report

This sounds about right for Cutco, who uses Vector Marketing as their sales arm. Vector pays "$15/appt" according to all the signs I've ever seen up on college bulletin boards, at bus stops, on utility poles, etc. And I sure they weasel out of paying that right. Also, you have to buy a demonstration set, no idea what that runs. The knives themselves aren't terrible and do have a lifetime warranty, but so does the set of Henckels from Target for probably a quarter the asking price and a better reputation.

There's also Pampered Chef, which has Rachel Ray quality kitchen poo poo for Williams Sonoma prices. I have no idea how that racket works, but it's always hocked in catalogs or in-kitchen demonstrations at the representative's home, so probably closer to the Mary Kay and Avon side of MLM than Cutco. So you can theoretically make money doing Pampered Chef, but it ain't good money.

There are almost certainly more kitchen related MLMs, but those are the biggest I know.

I know someone who actually made some good cash off Vector marketing, but it was not as a sales person.

They had put out some ads for IT work in the Santa Barbara area, saying they needed someone to do structured cabling and configure their network. Dude shows up to a "Sit down" and they make him wait for an hour, then subject him to a 2 hour presentation about selling sports tickets to that the teams can't sell at lower prices. He politely waited, then waited another 2 hours to speak with a manager there, then asked what IT poo poo needed done, turns out there wasn't any, the ad was just an attempt to get more people working for another guy there selling poo poo, so my dude just billed them for 7 hours of his time (because it was an hour in traffic each way), and considering he was a higher end network and IT consultant in the Southern California area, he did it at full rate, which was about $280/hr. They balked at the bill, he then took them to small claims court and the judge was appalled at the Vector rep's use of false job ads to lure in people in the middle of a major regional recession.

Good call. I never noticed some of the cameos before lastnight though. Frank Oz is the prison guard who gives Jake back all his poo poo when he's released. Steven Spielberg is the guy at the county records office who shows up late and gives them the tax receipt, Joe Walsh is the prison inmate who starts the riot at the end.

I still loved Blues Brothers 2000. I get why people are meh about it though. John Goodman is no Belushi. :(

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you, Goodman is a good singer and it allowed Tom Petty and Clapton to be in a Blues Brothers movie like they both deserved so I can't knock it. I think the mistake they made was trying to upstage the original movie instead of writing a love letter to Belushi and the magic of the first one.

I haven't seen Blues Brothers.

It's a fun movie. It really doesn't fit any mold of film, it has music but isn't a musical, it has action but isn't an action film, I guess comedy is the closest definition I can think of, but it's super deadpan and can be very subtle at times. It's well worth watching if you like old school SNL humor, blues music and/or outlandish car chases
