Will be working many gigs including Slowdive, Godspeed You Black Emperor, DJ Shadow, Grizzly Bear and Joey Bada$$ in the next few months alone.

Good thing is that all the work is from about 7/8pm, so I can easily fit in another part/full time job during the days, or at least do something more useful with my time.

Cheers bro. I'll try and turn my experiences into a journal or something. Really should have done it during the events season.

I pulled out a fairly decently sized clump of earwax out of my left ear this morning along with a spider.

Good times.

So 8am comes around, and I can taste the beer, but then my manager walks up and tells me that TWO people have called out, both people who work my position, and so now he needs me to work till 2pm.

I can do an 8-hour shift. But holy **** did I not want to do one on an hour's notice. After a while of hating everything I settled into a groove and it was alright I guess. But **** that, **** this, **** all of those as well. And we were busy. And hella short-handed. But at least I was working with a bantering crew so it wasn't just a mind-numbing slog.

At least I got 5 extra hours that are now over and I don't have to go back till 9am tomorrow. SO MALT LIQUOR ALL DAY ERRY DAY!!!



You're ****ing gross.

I'm not particularly thrilled by 8-hour shifts but I can do them. I just don't like having them sprung on me.
