Do any of you ever feel like you wear so many hats that it is a little overwhelming?

Hat one-The marketer/advertiser
Hat two - Secretary
Hat three -Sales
Hat four - Maintainence
Hat five - Accountant
Hat six - party/wedding planner
Hat seven - DJ /KJ entertainer
Hat Eight - electrician
Hat Nine - Webmaster
Hat ten - consultant
Hat eleven - Luckiest Person in the world to make money at what I love

Am I missing any?
 
Darn, I Thought We Were Going To Discuss Fashion Accessories!

With all those hats, we could be the new "Village People".....NOOOOOOOO! :)

:thumbsup:
 
Well if we get into ALL the hats that we wear

Hat twelve--- Proud Hubby
Hat thriteen--- Proud Father
Hat Fourteen--- Physcologist
 
Everyone wears many hats so to speak, even moreso for any small business owner. Just being a bar DJ here's "my hats":

-DJ
-Music Coordinator (for some reason the boss felt I should go over every tune in the juke box)
-Live Band Support (completely out my realm, improvisation saved my behind a few times)
-Drunk bus (have driven home many customers on my own time/dime)
-Security (bouncer)
-Physcologist
-Money counter (cash out the new bartenders at the end of the night if the boss wasn't around)
-Waiter (seriously when we'd get slammed, I'd take orders @ the DJ booth)
-ID Checker
-Cook
-Babysitter
-Life Guard
-Supply man (bar runs out of something, I'd track it down in the stock room)

Honestly I wouldn't have it any other way; much of what I listed is way out of the DJ's "list of responsibilities" but I actually enjoy to mulitasking. Just standing their picking out song doesn't always keep me completely occupied. Which is probably why I don't last very long at menial jobs.

LOL, I'm actually a "gentle giant". 99% of bouncing/dealing with drunks is all mind play. I've only had to get physical 2 or 3 times and that just involved throwing someone out the door.

Wearing the hat of babysitting adults... ;)

Weddings can be so damn last-minute sometimes. Aunt Tilly didn't show up, Uncle Terry is bombed off his arse, the 6-year-old flower girl got the hives...

The B&G didn't want music for the cake, garter etc. Then on the reception day, about 5 minutes before you're about to open the floor the B&G decide they want to do all this stuff anyhow.

"Music?? You're the DJ... you figure it out."

I love this business. I keep telling myself that. :)
 
Weddings are nothing, try DJing for a room full of bellydancers sometimes....

Does this make me look fat? Can you play my music louder? My sets all on this one CD, just start it and watch the show.

It's a tough life
 
Hat - Student



Funny thing though, I've always been a student of some form or another registered in classes or not.

I think that's a hat we all wear, also.

Watching Hawaiian belly dancers must be terribly hard work:dtongue:.
 
Belly dancers are professional performers, same as anyone else.

Try to imagine running sound for a band and the lead guitar yells

"Hey soundman... I need more ME in this monitor!!" :mad:

Performers can be a royal Pain In The Arse. In Chuck's case, the belly dancers may be fun to watch from an audience's point of view. But when you're running sound and the audience has spent a boatload of dough to be there, every performer is a professional PITA.

In hindsight, those school dances were easy, eh Chuck? ;)
