    Rocketman - The funny part is that when I first got in a band, I thought that it was going to be soooo easy. My first gig, I was sure that they would be really easy. I was at a really trashy bar and I decided that they probably would have been easy either way.

    It would have probably been easier through the years if I had a touring gig instead of playing the same places every month. There's too much trouble to get into when you see the same people all the time.

    I'm getting married now, so I don't get to enjoy it like I used to.

    Academic Advisor

    That when I'm not scheduled to see students I'm not working, maybe not even at work at all. It's called paperwork people!

    That I am still a student, a lot assume I am a work study. (They ask "So what's your major?") I guess for a 32 yr old that's a compliment for a college student to think I'm in college too.

    That I graduated with the major that I advise, so they ask me complicated scientific questions from the field. God I don't know, ask me a torts question I at least have a shot of getting that right!

    That I make a LOT more than I really do. In fact a bulk of college students have no idea what most people make in their jobs.

    and I'll steal one from Isabel
    Sometimes, that's true! I can be an evil b*stard, I can also be their best bud.
