Emm, Alanis, BRMC, Garbage and others share their experiences with you in the April / May issue of Access Magazine page 14. Here's it is: 'I was excited to get this job because it was part time and I was being paid more money than I had ever made, never mind that I was being paid under the table by my boss, a giant Ukrainian man with big hair and big jewelry. Everything was going swell until the boss's partner (his new wife) told me my work clothes were "not professional, and as far as my hairdo went, she recommended that I get a brush.' After a month or so, a divider that usually shielded my desk from the rest of the office was removed because my boss's wife felt I was making too many personal phone calls (to do with my music). There were a couple of uncomfortable instances where my boss would drive me across town at Mach 50 in his very tacky Porsche just to deliver a file. Business itself was starting to tank as the shaped CDs, which featured many sharp angles and points, were starting to get jammed in rich people's car stereos and computers, or just wouldnt play at all. Peculiar faxes and phone calls started to trickle into the office and upon closer inspection; I realized they were death threats directed at my boss! And to explain it all, a 200 page document showed up at the door one day which detailed my boss's life story -bad business decisions secret affairs, embarrassing old girlfriends, you name it - but it also revealed that he was in fact an ex-con who had been in prison for smuggling illegal hair growth products into Spain. So I quit and have never worked a day job since. - - Ish ------------------------------ End of headline-girl-digest V7 #46 **********************************
