Fuck
i had an interview today with the guitar center in brooklyn.
the manager told me he would call the person who got the job after 6. it is now 6:30, and though i have not completely given up hope, i don't think i got it.
it's odd. I can sell anything to anyone. I am good with customers, and can handle myself in a stressful situation while in it. I may throw something or chain smoke afterward, but i can remain calm when in the situation.
i think i'm just horrible in interviews. i was pretty laid back in this one, but that may be because i thought i was a shoe in for it. but i have a feeling it wasn't meant to be. i think they wanted someone with more expertise than i do. i've been playing the drums for 7 years now. i know the instrument, but because i basically taught myself, i don't know the fine points. like what brands there are out there. i know what are the best quality, but i don't get all jonesed up when drums are made out of hickory. or if there are coated or clear heads on the drums. i know why the differences are there, and i know what is better than the other. and i'm also a very fast learner. though i may not know all the details about drums, i can still figure it out. and i was hoping i would get the job because i wanted to learn more about it. i thought it would make me a better drummer. and now if i ever need drum stuff, and i don't get the job, i will have to wait until i either get another job or i find another place that sells sticks and heads and hardware.
i've been pretty depressed with the job hunt stuff. i need to find a job before march is over or i will have no money at all. as it is i might not have much when February is over. i really expected to have a job by now.
so i've been spending most of my time drinking. which is bad. i've been drunk for two weeks now. not continuously, but i normally start at 2 o'clock. twice so far i've thrown up. i've had a nasty hang over three times. mostly because i've been buying cheap liquor in bulk.
i need help to get out of this slump. i will take suggestions or favors. if people know of openings at work people who are hiring or anything please, for the love of god, let me know.
so in other words: This was a real shitty kind of day. It snowed and hailed and i got wet and cold and i have no prospects. fuck valentines day.
