So I went to the Michigan Ren Fest today and had a lovely time. The weather threatened to turn crappy, but didn't do so until I was leaving. I got some research done for the cast molding idea. I saw plenty of people that I hadn't seen for forever and a day and that I missed without even knowing it. In fact, watching the Confessors at the Jail at

Be very, VERY careful with that kind of work setup. That's what Mid-Michigan Braille did to me, and for all intents and purposes it left a one-year hole in my job history in a credit/IRS standpoint.

And in fact, what he's doing might very well be illegal.

UIA Misclassification of wages documentWhich is the only reason I was even able to get a hearing on trying to get unemployment out of MMB, because he treated us like W4 employees while trying to pay us like 1099 employees. He managed to get out of it only because the UIA is trying to avoid paying ANYONE benefits in Michigan© just to keep from going super-in-the-red

Oh, what he's doing is completely illegal. Which is why if he gives me too much shit I'll just fill out the IRS's 'Request for Classification of Employment' and he'll be rather screwed.

I'm good at any and all sorts of sales. I've looked at a few of the other companies and I've been thinking about it. I just liked being supplied with leads. IF they do that, let me know.

No provided leads, but they do have excellent rep support. All the materials you need (including business cards) provided free. I still have all the stuff they sent me, and even though I'm 'inactive' right now, if I suddenly got a sale I'd still get paid.

They also do residual incomes. The one sale I made in '06 still pays me about $1.12 a month. It varies, as it's a percentage of sales through the terminal I sold them.

It basically goes into my PayPal to pay for occasional game related impulse buys (like DDI subscriptions or dice).

What I might do is check them out and since my boss is also a fool who didn't have me sign a non-competition agreement I could always do this as a side thing until I learned how to generate my own leads.
