A Short PlayDramatis Personae: Grant: Some guy Chad: Some other guy Setting: Outer Space, I guess. Chad: So, Grant, what's going on? Grant: I dunno. I think I'm fucked though. Chad: In a good way? Grant: Nope. But that's a whole different issue. I think I'm an idiot. Chad: For a specific reason this time? Grant: Yup. I thought I was cut out to be a recording engineer, but I might need to rethink that. Chad: Why's that? Grant: Well, as it turns out, being an audio engineer takes a lot of math. At least, that's the impression I got the other night. Chad: What do you mean? Grant: Well, I went to Duffy's, since I had the night off. I introduced myself to the sound guy, and asked if he was looking for an assistant. I had heard that he might be. Chad: Go on... Grant: So, I made my introduction, and, of course, he asked for my qualifications. I gave them to him. Then, he asked how I was in physics. And calculus. And, I suck at both. Hell, I suck at math. Basic arethmetic is not my strong suit. Chad: Well, duh. Grant: I mean, he showed me his rig, and asked me what I was familiar with, but also asked me what pitches were in hertz. I have do damned clue. I need to do some learnin'. Quick. I think. In acoustic physics, basic electronics and math. I don't know if I'm up to it. I could buy some books, but, shit, I'd be my own teacher. Chad: So, what are you gonna do? Grant: Dunno. Get some books and some hobby kits and, eventually, some equipment. Mics and shit. Even then, I think I've fallen for the wrong field. I'm woefully underqualified, underversed and underexperienced. I don't know why I don't give up right now. While I can. Get some damned factory job or something. Someplace where I know I'd be the smartest cat on the block. Cuz I know I'm not otherwise. Chad: Do that, and you're fucking dead to me. *FIN!* Comments by: YACCS |
