Title: Some Great News Folks
Post by: Mr. T. on Aug 31, 2006, 03:33 PM
First of all:

This is my 501th post! ! !

Seems like a good reason to thank you all for creating this wonderful place, where I can fully enjoy my love for the Jacket, for music in general, and for hanging around with great people! Thank you all  :-*

Second

I Got A Job!  :o

Those who read the "MMJ in your job" thread know that I was looking for a job. I got my first job interview yesterday; they asked me back this morning for a second one, and after that, they just gave me the job! My good looks (and maybe some other skills) must have deeply impressed them ;).

So, these 2 things call for a small party! Free beers for everyone! Come on in, there's enough for everybody

That's cool you got a job.  So what type of job is it?   Are you going to be woking with food or something else?

Good luck in it.  8)

I'll be working for Sabam (which stands for "The Belgian Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers")

SABAM collects copy right fees that are distributed to the performer and the owner of the sound recording copyright.

Whenever an artist (be it a composer, musician, author or whatever) has a problem concerning the money he got  from Sabam (or didn't got), I have to solve it.
It's not gonna be the most R 'n' R kind of job, but it'll be a good first working experience. I hope  ;)

Thanks, that's so sweet you were thinking about me...

I'm already feeling a little tension creeping up...

Well that's normal  :)
Just remember, they wanted you for the job, so just be yourself and everything will be fine.

Soooo...

I'm sitting at my own new desk, finishing my lunch break, and digesting the huge pile of information I swallowed this morning. it's been pretty heavy so far, but I think 'm gonna be just fine :)

Collegues are really nice people, everybody's been very friendly, so that's really good.

I'm going to have to study pretty hard to understand how things work around here, but all appears to be interesting and fun. but I have to go now... bye

PS: I'm having time to post on the board! That Rocks  8)

All went very well this first day. My afternoon went by like a whirlwind. And oh man, I have so much to learn  :o

Good things that come with the job: I'm on an official guest list for the presentation of a guy who has his first cd out, and who's presenting it here in Antwerp next month. I got his cd with me tonight. I have to say it rather sucked, but nevertheless, I'm very flattered  ;)

And I won't have troubles falling asleep this evening  :D
