Trouble is I'm here at work and I want to be playing my guitar. I think about it inbetween meetings. I think about it at lunch, I think about it all the time. Does anyone know of a job where I can play guitar 40 hours a week and get paid for it? :lol:

Yea, there's never many want ads in the "Rock Star" section of the classifieds. :cry:

The fact that you wrote that about guitar rather than sex mean that you're getting old mate... :o
So, you need a job that doesn't feature anything too vigorous, and allows lots of sitting down. Fortunately, there's a guitar job tailor made just for you. Here's the instruction set:
1. Take one large square of cardboard.
2. Write suitably eye catching message on it . Sample:
"Need Money to Pay Therapist. Can't stop Thinking About Guitar Instead of Sex. Please Give Generously."
3. Get a hat or guitar case 'seeded' with a few coins.
4. Learn a repertoire of two or three popular songs that you can repeat endlessly.
5. Master an expression that's cute, sad or appealing in some way. Slightly crazed looking is good, but not dangerously so.
6. Find a public pitch and play your 40 hours. I have a couple of friends (one 10 and cute and playing violin, the other mid 30s, piratical looking and playing guitar) who made excellent money at it.
Good luck - if your songs, your look, and your sign all have that wallet opening quality, you'll make a mint.. :D
(P.S. A suspiciously bottle-shaped brown paper bag is optional)

Trouble is, I'd love to take my guitar to work but I'm afraid someone will walk off with it. Ya never know. :shock:

Well, I am young and I do think about playing guitar only.
