Gary booked gig but turns out it was a call center job. Went in carrying acoustic guitar. Trainers gave weird looks. Gary emailed his bank info to set up 15% of paycheck to go to his bank account. Texted Gary and was told to stick it out for the four week training and then we can talk. Told him no. He said yes, keep the job and hung up. Need to find that contract to see if working in call center is part of the deal. The boss provided pizza for lunch to encourage co-workers to get to know each other. I ate four slices and then left.
I was suspicious when
Gary told us that we needed to arrive before 8 AM. The receptionist gave us a
weird look when The Singer walked in with a guitar and I walked in with a snare
drum.
She took our names
and lead us to the training room where 17 other people were waiting to being
learning the job. I can confirm that Gary was expecting a 15% cut from our
paychecks.
We never did sign an
agreement with him. Maybe it’s time to move on from Gary. But doing that, I
don’t think I alone could convince The Singer to play shows. He is content with
recording his songs and then forgetting about it.
The pizza was just
Hot N Readys from Little Caesar’s. Nothing special. I was ready to stay for the
full shift but The Singer wanted to go. He didn’t care about the paycheck or
the people there. He didn’t want to waste any more time and wanted to get home
so he could go back to bed. He said he’s never waking up that early again.
I don’t blame him.
