It's sad when someone says something so dumb I have no retort.
HD is much better than the near infinite resolution provided by a mirror. :lol:

The other day I was shooting the shit with some people at work, the topic of music came up, and I mentioned that I "played bass." This is complete nonsense - I have a bass guitar (it was a gift) and can play maybe a few songs. I can read tabs but not music.

Anyway, I found out today that a "staff band" is performing at the school's yearly talent show. Without my consent the music teacher signed me up as the bass player. HAHAHAHA. I guess I could be irritated, but I'm more amused than anything.

I have Christmas vacation to learn a song or two - I think I can do it.

I feel like this is one of those situations George Costanza would find himself in.
See what happens when you lie? You get signed up for school band against your will.

Is 19 still young enough that it doesn't look funny to job interviewers that nothing on my resume is any longer than six months? I got my first job in March, left it in July for my current job, and I'll be moving on from that next month.

I planned it as a temporary job from the start.

I only have one "real" job on my resume that lasted 4 months. Not sure how that will pan out. I was extremely well liked by the boss thouh.

Not a bit as long as you explain why and your references agree with your explanation.

I wouldn't think so. I would imagine most of them would take the factor of school into account. Like Luke said though, just make sure you're references are good and that everything lines up with what you're telling them.
