the surprise I expected
I know I’ve gone back and forth on the question, but I believe I DID wanna stay at Michaels–maybe…but today I got the ax…MY side of the story–I was criticized for being cautious…THEY said I wasn’t productive enuff…I didn’t get a chance to tell them about the employee who didn’t give a fuck whether he stocked the stuff in the RIGHT place or not…sure, he was fast (sometimes) but accurate? Fuck no…oh well…like I said somewhere else, the ONLY thing I’ll miss is the money…AFTER I got sacked, a woman asked me if I worked there…”Used to,” I answered, and helped her find the item she was looking for…How nutty is THAT?
I think Lou and I are going out tonight…first a nap, then I’ll put new strings on the acoustic…If Life is Good, it’s news to me…
ADDENDUM–Actually, other than the money, I won’t miss the job at all…and the money prolly wouldn’t have been so great–EVERY retail store cuts hours after Christmas…got new strings on the acoustic, should be broken in by Friday night…don’t have the new amp yet, guess there won’t be a test run before the gig on the 11th…
