So as many of you know, I’ve been doing a long-term, side project with a famous rock band.
Well about 2 months ago, when I was still in the US, I received a box of business cards.
Metallica business cards.
Now as excited as I was about getting them, I was a bit confused for 3 reasons …
1. I’d been working for them for over a year so couldn’t work out why I’d only just got them.
2. The work I do for them has absolutely no reason to ever need a business card.
3. I was about to move to the UK so the phone number on the card would soon be redundent.
I then discovered that I’d been on probation for that whole time [which they had never mentioned to me], I needed a way to gain some speedy respect with some of the people they were connecting me to [because obviously, on my own, it’s impossible] and apparently I’m “an asshole” for not reminding them I moving country [even though I absolutely had told them I was moving country fact] but who cares … I’m now the proud owner of some obsolete business cards with an awesome email address and for that – and, I suppose, the amazing opportunity they’re giving me – I’m eternally grateful.
Christ, first I ended last week on a positive note and now I’m seeing the silver lining in things.
Who am I?
And it’s a Monday.
Seriously, we should all be getting worried around now.
