It has been an interesting week. I got a new job. Then I turned it down. It was a seasonal position driving a 5 ton truck, starting at $14/hour. Why would I turn that down, you might ask. I ask myself the same question. It is because of flexibility, really. I'm going to need about 4 weeks off this summer for various band related things, as well as going home for Greg's grad in June. I didn't think it was fair to them for me to take so much time off, whereas my current job doesn't mind. Although, after July 31st, the dealership is closing. They have offered me a position at one of the other car dealerships doing the same thing for the same pay. I suppose this will do for the time being (however much I dislike it).
I'm kinda stressed out about the whole situation actually. This potential tour in August is putting a strain on my financial picture. I have to start working 10 hour days in order to save up to be able to pay the bills in July and August. Brutal. As much as I love the band, it's especially hard for me to justify giving up a good job for that, because it's not what I want to do with my life. I've always been the odd man out. Everyone else wants to be a full-time musician for the rest of their lives, and I don't. Anyway, now I just hope we get that grant to go on tour, otherwise I'll have given up the job for nothing. And once that is over, it's time to do some serious job hunting.
I'm such a whiner. Sorry people. I've actually been fairly happy lately despite all this other shit. We just had a great time last night (boys nite in) playing NHL 2005 for Gamecube and drinking beer. Jesse made this killer blueberry pie for us.
And this morning I redesigned this page for Kristy-Anne, as requested. I hope it works!
