at least you got to see some bands. I used to work in a supermarket, (there was nothing super about it) filling up the freezers. i used to come home with completely numb hands. and my boss was a fat arrogant prick. (are’nt they all?)

er.. kitchen hand for a day, working in a plastique factory for three odd years, getting up at 4:30 in the mornings for six months when i eventually went full time, being a cleaner, am currently a postie, which means i have basically no job security what-so-ever. the only good thing about my job is a) i only work about 4hrs a week, on saturday afternoons, and b) i just put my name down for an eight hr overtime shift on good friday. i’ll be getting paid 2 1/2 times my normal rate of pay for this, which is around £6.50. figure it out :-)

however when i’m older and i eventually finish at college, i’m going to do my damn best at sound engineering, which rules. am in a good mood becuase i have three hours studio time booked for this evening and i came up with somehting awesome to record last night: check this out for a chord sequence: Amin Fmaj Dmin Bbmaj Gmin Eminb5 Cmaj played with the bass end as a midi string ensembly and an overdriven guitar playing the rest of the notes to form the chords. this will rule :->

are you a music student deek? im on a music course at the mo, finish in summer. i used to do all that kind of stuff (writing, recording mixing, sequencing etc,) but i kind of lost heart now. funny how when you are forced to do the things you love it takes all the fun out of it.

I spent three days washing up in a restaurant. Absolutely disgusting - particularly since I’m a vegetarian and there was a lot of seafood eaten there, prawn leftovers *shudder*. And I got chased by someone with a crab.

If I must be sincere the job that now I have is not good at all, as I work in a office and I’m always alone or with my 2(not 1!!) but 2 bosses, they can be nice sometimes, but it’s quiet boring, then my pay is low,I must drive around with my car for their business and they don’t pay me the petrol, these stingy men!! in fact I’m going to look for another one.

yeah, i’m doind a course in music technology, as i really want to get into studio sound engineering and producing. i really do love the course, as we get treated like adults and not like school leavers or anything. my tutor used to be jeff beck’s guitar tech, and he’s a decent guy, although he will get arsy with you when you don’t do work, so he’s not a pushover. in eight days i’m doing my first live sound stuff, i’m engineer for a battle of the bands, we auditioned five bands last night and five later today, and i’m quite looking forward to the challenge

When I was 17 or 18, I worked in a fruit market. I had to get up on weekends at 5 or 6am, stand outside in the cold and put apples into baskets. It was always freezing and raining and it made me miserable. When I wasn’t outside, I’d either be standing around inside looking for something to do, or working inside a freezer that was the size of some people’s houses.

I would have quit that job right away, buy my girlfriend’s dad got me the job as a favor, so I felt like I couldn’t quit. I stayed for about a year and a half, and finally I just couldn’t take it anymore and left.

good luck with your engineering deek, apart from being in a band, i reckon its a pretty rewarding way to make a living. The guit tutor at my college spent some time with T? in a studio once. not playing, he just happened to be working in studio next door. which was nice.

me, like brendon, used to work in a fruit market… i think it’s the worst work in the world, expecially if your boss (a shitty-man) is an idiot and a ballbreaker…
now i’m quite lucky.. i work only in monday (‘cause i study in the other days) and i earn 100 EUR every monday… it’s bad work, i have to drive all the day around the north of italy (some mondays 15 hours with 1 hour stop for food and at least 600 km)
but it gives me the chance to have some money in my pocket..
