I work as a traveling encyclopedia salesman. I want to be the world's best encyclopedia salesman. I also enjoy working at the gas station part time. I like the NFL. I am single. I don't want to be married. I rock climb. I do marconi art. Work takes up a lot of my time and focus. 
I own a candy shop. I enjoy running. I'm married for over 5 years. I play in a band called Cents. I play pop punk music. I would like the band to meet for rehearsal more often. We've been practicing at the drummer's house. I want us to practice in my candy shop's stock room instead. My dad was a workaholic. My wife thinks I should work harder, but I'm more interested in playing music and am happy with the money I make from the candy store. I do not have children. My marriage makes me feel confined.
Have you had any luck moving the band practices into the store room? Not yet. Still having trouble convincing the band it will be more ideal.  That's a shame, hopefully they will come around to the idea soon.  I think they will see how great it could be if they gave it a shot, just once! Any clever idea or advice on how I could make that happen? That's a hard one - I'm not really sure. Maybe try telling them how happy it makes you playing what with the stress of your home life and maybe they will come around? Kill them with kindness. And maybe candy! Free candy with every rehearsal?  That's a great idea! You would definitely have my support there. I love candy!  Perfect! Do you have any experience playing in a band or music ... maybe you can be our new band member. No, my job takes up all of my time these days.  I imagine traveling sales does take up quite a bit of time. But if you ever get burnt out, you are always welcome to swing by and watch the band practice. And if its at the shop, free candy. That's very nice of you, thank you. So how are things with your wife at the momnet? They have been better. But I am doing my best to be positive and move forward. Trying to compartmentalize work from the band from the marriage.
