If I had lived in Austin at your age and I was offered a job at Waterloo,
I would've squirted a gallon of jiz in my shorts for that. Yeah, uhhh...let's see - do I wanna work for a Japanese conglomerate where drunk and drugged homeless people hang out wanting to start fights - a place where I have to fear for my life each late night I work ... OR ... do I wanna work surrounded by music in a store that's been voted the best music store every year in Austin since 1982 and is recognized nationally as one of the best remaining record stores in the country (Oh, does that make it the dreaded corporate?) If you get in that place and you find you don't like it, you'll at least be able to go to another one in town (possibly less able to pay you as well because of their independence - but not always) and say, "yeah, I worked at Waterloo..." Holy crap. It would be like a music fan in San Francisco being asked, "Hey! Would you like a job at Amoeba?" and having to decide between that and 7 fucking 11. |

No idea what the employer is like at Waterloo, but if they like you enough when you work part-time - and they know that you're working a second sucky job, there's always the special offer that comes later - or maybe you end up eventually at TWO record stores - one cool and the other "corporate" in order to eat and pay the rent. ...but I'd just look at this record store thing as transitional - unless you're gunning for a higher position as a 7-11 guy. |
THIS made my day!

actual justice? I can hardly believe it, finally some good news

Just goes to show if you want things to change you just have to burn down a police station. And there a lot of police stations.
