-as of [24 MARCH 2024]–
.
*DECEMBER 2005* –>
‘age 21’
(hired as a ‘guitar sales associate’)
(after filling out online form)
(the department manager was “rocco paolino”)
Rocco.Paolino@guitarcenter.com
(i returned to the ‘springfield guitar center’ in ‘march 2012’ – ‘april 2012’ as ‘guitar sales associate’)
i’d mostly write + sketch at work.
this came to a halt when “rocco paolino” (who used to be my guitar department manager and was now the store manager) discovered my lyric sheets and ordered me to never carry around papers at work.
(so i limited my writing/sketching to the acoustic room (and would hide the papers behind the instruction books whenever i saw rocco come to check out the room (though this was a rare occurrence))
so i’d camp out in the “acoustic room” like a hermit and surf the internet (which wasn’t available when i first worked at the store).
nobody hounded me this time around (nor did i bother making any sales).
i was content collecting my minimum wage as effortlessly as possible…
i vowed to do push-ups + sit-ups at work but i never got around to it…
the tiny sales manager louis picano was a pushover…

“28 MARCH 2012” –>
4:23pm
(over 5 hours to go…)
i’ve completed my online guitar “certification”
i’m going to take a 1-hour break
(even though i can afford neither food nor gas…)
(perhaps i’ll hit up “skolnik’s deli” like the old days…)
(the “healthy alternative” to route 22 fast food)
then i have to wake up @ 8am the next morning…
i didn’t even get plastered (enough) last night!
i’ve got 2/3 handle of cheap “popov” vodka left…
(along with diet coke, a can of ginger ale, and a bottle of tonic water)
i’ve gotta do the dishes tonight…
i’ve gotta shave…
(at least nobody here rides me about being clean-shaven like last time i worked here…)
i’ve gotta start exercising…
i’ll stay up until 2am…
i’ll spend the rest of the workday writing and drawing
(until i’m allowed to return to my music…)
(although my portable pencil sharpener is all clogged up and i can’t unscrew it to clear it of the shrapnel!)
i can’t wait until my sunday break!
i met a 16-year-old named heather “scooter” smith…
neither she (nor her tiny tits) compares to emma…
