I'd feel really awesome...if this didn't look so sketchy

So I was at work today...contemplating what I will do with all my money when I win the 6/49 tomorrow, and a man approaches me. This isn't strange, people approach me all the time at work. They usually want things like cigarettes or to pay for their gasoline. This one was on the low side of five feet, balding and was wearing a sport jacket and nice pants. He had no tie.

I don't remember how we got on the subject, but I think I had told him that I won the lottery tomorrow, they just hadn't drawn the numbers yet. Either way, he asks me "What are you going to do if you don't win?" obviously not getting the point ;). I told him I'd just "buy another ticket".

We talk a little more, and I tell him that I'm taking Chemical Engineering and all about how I ended up working at Petro-Canada. Then he tells me "You look like a smart kid. Here is my card, go take a look around my website, and if you like what you see give me a call and we'll set up a meeting."

"Wow!" I think. "I must be really impressive...or there must be something really sketchy about the job...or both?" Jury is still out on the first part, but take a look at his web-site. Use the guest password mwelsh.

If only my life long dream was to own my own business selling health products on-line...

I'm still hopeful though. One day someone will come up to me and offer me that dream job; I'll turn him down though, I've won the 6/49 tomorrow. They just haven't drawn my numbers yet.
