Eh, nothing special. I settled for doing event marketing for a company that makes a very specific home improvement product. Basically, I go to events and try to get people to sign up for estimates. It's not at all something that interests me, but it's a job, the hourly pay is better than my last job (although it's not full time so I need to find something a few days a week), and I get to be outside talking to people all day which is welcome after half a year of unemployment and a year and a half of a job where I'm on a computer (often alone) for 8 hours at a time.

I'm done working for the weekend. Time to get drunk, my babies!

Welp, my Spectre sold on Reverb and it looks like I got a buyer on my sitar. Yet another step closer to getting out of my debt hole! I'm *almost* down to triple digits now :yay:

First day of work went well. They trusted me enough to leave me by myself the last hour of the day. I'm pretty thrilled.

I don't smoke weed and I don't know anything about oakland but I totally get what your saying. People need to calm down and pick their battles a bit more. Cool to hear things got sorted. :thumb:

Well I hardly ever used it to be honest. I kinda got a bunch of shit and stopped having a regular board for a while, and certain things never made it into my regular usage. I'm not happy to see it go, but I got my money back, minus shipping, so :idk: Maybe I'll scoop another one down the line. Debt-free is my main goal right now though.

And thanks! Yea Brian hit me up the other day :yay:

Glad things are working out for you walt!

I love the Spectre—it's definitely been my fave of the CBAs, and currently the only one I've kept.

That said, I totally feel ya on the debt thing. I've been selling a bunch of gear lately too, and am closing in on that debt-free zone. Unfathomably awesome!

I'm digging this gig. I have an office and we keep an acoustic around the office. They keep playing Bon Jovi and I keep butchering Smiths songs.
