Tours de Farce: Getting A Bang Out Of The Holiday
I think I’ve really found a home here. Yes, the folks at Pollstar.com treat me like one of their own. Unlike all the other jobs that I could only hold down for a few months at time, my boss treats me like I’ve been here for years. And she lets me work on all the really big tours like Don Henley, Sting and ‘N Sync.
I gotta tell you, working here has been the best thing that ever happened to me. I’ve proven to myself that I can brown-nose with the best of them. And I dare say I’ve become an expert on knowing what to KISS, and when to kiss it.
Of course, I’m working on this fine Labor Day. Even though it’s a holiday, trusty Irving is on the job. I’m entering dates for Sister Sledge, updating Sonic Youth and even looking for extra dates for Anne Murray. Yep! I am the man. The tour king!
In fact, I feel so good about spending Labor Day at the office, that I want my co-workers to know how I feel about them camping in the mountains while I’m entering dates for Rick Trevino. I want them to know what’s going through my mind when they’re playing volleyball at the beach while I’m back at the office editing the schedule for Fantomas.
Yeah, I really want them to know how much I care for them, and I only wish they could hear the voices in my head telling me that I should never hold back my feelings.
So tomorrow I’m going to let it all hang out. I’m going to show them just what Irving thinks of them. Yes, Tuesday is going to be a day they’ll remember for a long time. The day I show them what I’m made of. Well, me and my secret friend, Mr. AK 47.
Of course, I’ll probably have to look for a new job on Wednesday. Are they hiring where you work?
