Need a REAL man’s truck? How about a semi -er- really big pickup… oh who are we kidding this is a semi. Semi + Dump truck = CXT. Check out this discription from the manufacturer.
Lookout!
Don’t you hate it when you’ve got not one but three missiles on you tail and you decided to drive the 4×4 that day? Never underestimate the need for the 007 roadster… Never.
Cher Photo Shoot
My new job is never dull. I’ve removed names to protect the innocent, but this was just too random not to mention.
On a recent concert stop during Cher?s ongoing Living Proof Tour, the Tour turned to [our company] for photo assistance. Store XXXX in Chattanooga, TN was called in to do a photo shoot – a passport photo shoot that is. Head Photo Specialist Christina received a call from Cher?s Tour Manager. The tour needed passport photos for 80+ people before starting the International portion of their tour – so of course they turned to the photo excellence of the [company’s] photo department. In addition to passport photos, the tour also needed additional photos for work visas in various countries resulting in the need for 6 total pictures for each person (3 passport shots). Joining Christina in the shoot was Ruby former HPS and currently PHT at the same store along with District Photo Supervisors Adam and Scott. All four employees worked together to form a seamless assembly line at the venue allowing Cher?s entourage to quickly stream through the process. Over 240 passport shots were taken, processed and delivered to grateful tour members including Cher herself. Since passport photos are essentially glorified polaroids, the company made a tidy profit even after a 10% bulk discount. Meanwhile, I got another great story to add to my already colorful career….
All in a days work. :D
Stella Awards
Starting off a new section dedicated to the rare funny email amongst all the forwards that fill our boxes every day… the best go here. Think your personal SPAM -er- “funny forwards” stand up? Send me some — well, let’s start at just one. Thanks.
The “Stella Awards” are for the most (successful) frivolous lawsuits in the US. They are named after 81 year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald’s. Though to be fair… i have been informed by many attorney’s that their was much at work against McDonald’s in this particular case from a legal point of view… most of which are facts of the case that aren’t widely known. At any rate, I won’t bore you with the details but rest assured that you can both annoy any lawyers you know and help them maintain their feelings of over-selfimportance by siting Stella’s case in a discussion of frivolous lawsuits and out-of-control jury awards for compensations for damages.
But i digress. My favorites are listed below. The full email is stored for posterity under the link. Enjoy.
Magic Eye
Remember those “Magic Eye” posters that were big 10-15 years ago? Well now, through recent technological break-throughs you can enjoy them (and their associated nostalgia) agin ONLINE!
Thanks Jeremy
