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?
