- Hmmm... Maybe I should become a teacher - I could teach courses like "How
- to Give the Wrong Impression". I didn't mean to come off like I had an
- attitude. If someone throws a microphone (hypothetically, mind you, since
- I don't actually own any microphones) off the stage, I'm likely to politely
- ask them for the money after the show and then complain profusely to all my
- friends afterwards. I am more likely to have more restraint than I need
- than I am to have less, which can get annoying if I'm getting bad service
- in a restaraunt or something...
-
- BTW, thanks for the advice, and maybe I should narrow my question a little
- bit: I don't have the spare money to go and buy lots of equipment, so what
- kind of jobs does that leave me with? How would I go about getting a job
- that's somewhat steady, if possible?
-
- Thanks again,
- Logan
