Rented a storage space today. The storage space guy offhandedly asked what I’d be using it for which unfortunately triggered my habit of awkwardly overexplaining in service industry situations.

Me: My wife and I are putting our apartment in storage while we do a cruise ship.
Storage Guy: Oh?
Me: Work on it. We’re… we perform. Comedy. So we’ll do shows on the ship. Comedy shows.
Storage Guy: Wow. Lucky. Where will you go?
Me: I don’t know all the details. Florida. And then Mexico and the Caribbean I think. Warm places.
Storage Guy: Good to get away from the winter.
Me: Yes.
Storage Guy: Yes. Is it hard to get the job?
Me: Uh… yes and no?

Later…

Storage Guy: This form just says that you won’t use the space to live or have a party or cook or build things. All of these things have happened. Maybe you could use that in your comedy.
Me: Maybe!
