Sound Warehouse Diary: May 2008
http://soundwarehousediary.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Happenings at the record store, back in the day . Monday, May 26, 2008. Coworkers: Part 28 - Snowball. I had to interview for weekend Classical help. Not that I needed help, but Dallas said we should have coverage for nights and Sundays. The Boss didn't want to deal with applicants, since most classical types were muffins. He gave me Mike's old list of questions, and said it would help weed prospects. Any of you could have answered these questions: Who wrote 1812 Overture. Who wrote Carmina Burana. Dan w...

Sound Warehouse Diary: April 2008
http://soundwarehousediary.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Happenings at the record store, back in the day . Saturday, April 26, 2008. Shoplifting: Case #03 - Peggy. Saturday afternoon, late. Busiest day of the week, but it was lunch time. Trina spotted Peggy swinging across the sidewalk, towards the doors. The store went into alert. Employees shared either grudging respect for, or complete hatred of, Peggy. When Stacey next looked, Peggy had moved up front, next to Abba. New girl perched on a stool, skirt hitched high, blowing on one foot. Peggy grinned...That ...

Happenings at the record store, back in the day . Thursday, March 27, 2008. Coworkers: Part 35 - Angela. Angela visited the store again two weeks before Christmas. By this time, it was completely pointless. Two years earlier, her family had moved east. She reluctantly accompanied them. She hated it, all of it. Then, chance beckoned, and she leapt. How fucking wrong I was. If I had only checked first. Loaded her car. Left the Rockies. Back to the Lonestar State. Chatted with The Boss, who seem...I immedia...

Circled in red, Classical Manager Position, apply in person, Camp Bowie. That's interesting," I commented. "I wonder what happened to Mike? That's the store you shop at. You could do that job.".

Happenings at the record store, back in the day . Saturday, November 15, 2008. Coworkers: Part 05 - Into The Back. What's going on with that other job of yours? I don't know," I answered. "Business is slow. Real slow.". How would you like more hours? Did I want more hours? Sure, what do you need? I was reviewing your application. You've run back rooms . inventory . before.".

Sound Warehouse Diary: February 2008
http://soundwarehousediary.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Happenings at the record store, back in the day . Monday, February 25, 2008. Coworkers: Part 39 - Cuffs And Glitter. I never thought The Boss would hire her. She was a very pretty girl. The store crew was overloaded with females, and The Boss had an internal balance scale. He was overdue to hire more guys. Two or three more. She listened to Country, however, which was a big deal. The playstack featured Cash. Individual employees had select favorites, but nobody knew Roy Acuff. Sissy started a week later.

Sound Warehouse Diary: September 2008
http://soundwarehousediary.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Happenings at the record store, back in the day . Sunday, September 28, 2008. Coworkers: Part 11 - Moving Day. ANYONE WANT TO HELP ME MOVE? PLEASE SHOW UP - (TIME and PLACE). FOOD WILL BE PROVIDED! Coworkers were prolific relocaters. Reasons were endless. Trivial. Major. Who cared? They had gotten evicted. New place was $5.00 a month cheaper. Neighbors were loud -. New place had a pool, yay! Old place had a pool, yuk! Place was freezing / burning up. Owe the landlord / landlady back rent or "favors.".

Sound Warehouse Diary: January 2008

Happenings at the record store, back in the day . Saturday, January 26, 2008. Coworkers: Part 43 - Gimme A Hug. Camp Bowie could be a vicious environment. Weekly, we were indifferent, cold, or brutal with coworkers. From new hires to seasoned veterans. Blameless innocents, brainless morons, or fuckers who deserved it. Sometimes it was ugly. The Boss had asked me to select someone to train for receiving. Most of the crew realized Todd's Sound Warehouse. Days were numbered. He and The Toadies. Yeah, man, t...

Sound Warehouse Diary: Coworkers: Part 04 - French Videos
http://soundwarehousediary.blogspot.com/2010/09/coworkers-part-04-french-videos.html
Happenings at the record store, back in the day . Friday, November 21, 2008. Coworkers: Part 04 - French Videos. The videos were expensive. I had "special ordered" two videos for a friend of Zelda's. Diana looked them up for me, then advised, "These are older films, but they are still rental priced.". What do you mean? Like, 99¢? She laughed. "No, start thinking $95.00 each.". What the hell - - How can . Jesus.". Truth was, I was still digesting that information. Do you still want to order two $95 films?
