The perks of being an employee
So, the job hunt has begun. I finally got my rejection letter from NWA and I have to start looking or other work. Today I applied to guitar center and radioshack. These two popped in my head as jobs with pretty decent benefits, pay, and environment. Guitar center is pretty obvious, guitars, discount gear, ability to work without being a guitar god like at willies or knowing 5 instruments like at music go round. The work would be warehouse associate, or at least thats the one i applied to, they also have operations assistant, and customer operations. I really couldn't figure out what those two meant, so I went with the warehouse one. Radioshack wouldn't be too bad in my opinion, although my opinion of RS isn't too great. Whenever I go in there, no other customers are there, and the person seems pretty laid back. The benefits would be discounted electronics, which means a lot of things that i would love getting at a cheaper rate. I think this would be a sales job and I figure I could be a decent salesman. Part of the problem I have with it might be that I get paid in commission, so the pay would vary and I probably wouldn't make too many huge sales off the bat. But you never know.
Another thing I'm doing for money this summer is yardwork: mowing lawns, pulling weeds, other nonsense. Yard work pays well but it is off/on. I'll be making 45 a week mowing lawns, so I figure if necessary I can live off that.
The problem is that I want to spend money this summer, starting with music. Yesterday I saw building better bombs and had to resist from buying a shirt and a cd/lp. So I just got a shirt, but it's a kick ass shirt. But with shows like soundset, summerfest (show + gas), cd release parties, and the idea of radiohead in indianapolis. I want to have the possibility to buy an xbox or something to spend my time with. Anyways, that can go in a different blog.
