"trained the night cleaning staff to empty the dishwasher" - So, you think that the few people lower on the totem pole than you are animals who can be trained?
Great article! I'd intended to skim it, roll my eyes, and go back to my Twitter page. But it was just so funny, I kept reading. I don't think this is a humble brag -- it's merely a page out of this boy's life. Nicely done.
Wow, how things change. I visited Sub Pop once in my life, in late '91 I believe, at the top of the building at Virginia. I was working with one of their vendors who used to manufacture their CDs. Caroline Records had taken over their distribution and they no longer needed us, had finally paid our bill, so I was there to drop off the original artwork for Mudhoney, Soundgarden, and various other now famous projects. I was sorely tempted to "lose" this stuff, knowing what it might be worth one day, but I have always been an honest person and just couldn't do it. In the office, Kim Warnick of The Fastbacks was on the phone at the reception desk the entire time, working her ass off. The rest of the front office was littered with tattooed and pierced teenage interns, smoking cigarettes and hanging about, doing essentially nothing. I was directed to the back office where Bruce Pavitt was on the phone, surrounded by giant piles of paperwork and envelopes stuffed with demos and other schwag. I saw a rack of Sub Pop Ts for sale, and picked the obligatory "Loser" shirt off the rack. I'd always wanted one, and it was only $10. Bruce put the call on hold, I explained what I had in my hand. He looked at the envelope for a few seconds while deciding what he was going to do with it. Then, in a move reminiscent of the final scene in the first installment of "Raiders of The Lost Ark," he looked over his shoulder and tossed the whole thing on a giant pile of other giant envelopes with other massive stuff in them. But I did the right thing, and I will always feel good about that. I handed the $10 bill to Bruce while holding up the shirt I was buying. He glanced up, said "Oh, OK, uuhmm, thanks," took the bill, and stuffed it in his pocket. He probably needed it for dinner.
OMG, I have been a receptionist for a company in Northgate for the past 11 years, and I START WORK at 8am.
