No one would believe this anyway

I am a clerk.  No, my story is not scripted by Kevin Smith.  I am the real deal.  I have worked customer service jobs ever since I was 14 years old.  Now, I'm almost 40 and I have seen some crazy shit.

I don't think this is the career choice that my parents hoped I would make.At least I hope not.  How fucked up would that be?   "Son, one day you will be a clerk.  We are so proud of you."  Ouch.  The Willie Nelson song said don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Sometimes, I think I'd rather be a cowboy. 

Now, don't get me wrong.  What I do for a living isn't a bad job.  It pays the bills.  It puts food on the table.  It puts some money in my pocket.  It allows me to meet some of the most interesting people I have ever seen. 

That's where this comes in.  I have always shared stories about the things I've done and the people I've seen.  Inevitably, someone always says that I should write a book or, at least, a blog.  Well, here you go.  This is my blog.  My collection of crazy encounters with equally crazy people.
Like the title says, I can't make this shit up.  Please remember that this is my life, my experiences, and my career path.

I wonder if I'm too old to be a cowboy?
