Just went into the pub next door and asked for a job. I've never felt so brave.
Actually. When I got £200 out at a cash machine in Denton Holme (at like, 2PM) to pay for a new amp, with all those chavs about...
There were about five old men in the Thistle. I said to one of them, "Is Fly about?" Fly being the owner. The man replied in the affirmative. Fly appeared after a few seconds. I inquired about work. He told me two students who had returned from uni had taken the only available hours. Bloody students.
I only get three hours a week at Franco's, despite asking constantly for more.
I considered asking for a job in Simply Drinks, but they've taken the help wanted sign down.
I need to try harder. This is someone who would like various film equipment, or a mac with final cut. If my band gets more gigs, we could make probably a fiver each every fortnight...
