So, there's this funny thing the other day...
I started working end of last year for a merchandising company. Basically, this is how it works:
1. A company...let's say Hunter-Douglas...needs to change out the pricing on their window blinds at Home Depot.
2. They contract their merchandising jobs with the company I work for, who calls me and asks if I want the job - I have 30 days to complete it. It takes about an hour and I make my normal wage.
3. I accept or decline depending on my schedule.
4. If I accept, I go online, print off the job instructions and the company sends me all the new POP materials through FedEx or UPS.
5. On the day I decide to do said job, I go switch everything out - it takes close to an hour.
6. I then email a report that consists of about five questions, back to the company I work for.
7. They send me a check about two weeks later.
Easy-peasy.
Here's the funny part - the company I work for is called Quest Merchandising. A few nights back, G and I were up late watching TV and one of those commercials come on for lonely guys that want a friend to "talk to". I've seen the commercials a hundred times but all of a sudden it struck me - the name of the company is called Quest Personals; OMgosh, I tell G - that's so funny. Wonder if someone we know thinks that, that's the Quest I work for...I've told people that the company I work for just calls, explains the parameters of the job, I then decide if I want to work or not and the job usually takes less than an hour. Funny, huh?
A subsidiary of the company I work for, you ask? I did! Who knows.
