Daddy's Junky music. Wish me luck my freinds. I had an interview, but I dont know if I seemed scummy enough.

Good luck, bra. I hope you tightened up on your chops and hot licks. Whatever you do, don't start wearing denim shorts with a belt.

Good luck, bra.

As opposed to the bad luck bra.

wait, i thought you were doing grad studies in psychology?

Working in an instrument store can be a grad study in psychology. Judging the customers and how they react to chickenbears, for instance.

"Good luck, bra"

Better brush up on "Sweet Child O' Mine" - that really sells those Flying V's like nothing else.

Good luck mike! Dazzle them with a rendition of the ILE song!

When you get the job can you post a "No Stairway" sign?

I worked in one of these places once, it was OK. Watch for customers who come in daily saying 'can I just try out *this* amp/guitar combination' (trans. = "for some inexplicable reason I think I'm going to get signed on the basis of somebody overhearing my noodling in here") Also you can have fun timing how long somebody stares at the 'noticeboard', it's like watching someone stare blankly into a refrigerator hoping some beers will materialise

I went for an interview but I am starting to thinki my chancesof getting the job are slim. It seems like they will probably want someone with more experience. They did give me this test onknowlege of gear and a few questions were very beyond my ken. I also felt like I didnt seem hip enough. But he didnt even ask me about what kind of music I like or what instruments I play. He asked a lot of questions abotu selling, and how i would react to angry customers

Trust me, the last is always important. Oh the joys of dealing with people who don't get it.

if I did work there, I would want to hok up the giant PA to a cd player that was playing things like Mrs.Miller and Janek. I wonder if that would be kosher amonst the gearheads

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Saturday, 19 April 2003 03:25 (twenty-two years ago)

what shop? you're in boston right?

― kephm, Saturday, 19 April 2003 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I live in Portland, Maine. that is the store I would work in. It is next to ti giant fake castle taht is the oddest depertment store I have ever been in. It seems to sell all the things no one ever could sell at their store so they sent it there

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Saturday, 19 April 2003 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

you must post some Portland pix some day, Mike! do they have anything there like that Mormon temple you visited once?

― Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 20 April 2003 23:41 (twenty-two years ago)

there is no giant metal spike church, but there are other sights. I have no where ot post them tough. Maybe on my mp3 dot com site

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Monday, 21 April 2003 03:13 (twenty-two years ago)

so, mike, did you get this job?
