"Goodmorning Mr.Vandle, it's Monday already ?" I walked into my guitar shop to see Katie, my trusty journey woman. She and Mya are the front desk workers. I taught both of them guitar years ago and when my shop was starting up I trained them for it. They've worked here for the past two years and have been amazing.

They've learned how to manage with people who come just because it's my shop. I allow people inside all the time but I have certain areas for certain customers.

"Goodmorning Katie and yeah it is. You doing alright ?"

"I am and you ?"

"I'm well"

"You look well. You're a lot more cheerful than I've seen in a while. Tour must have been fun"

I chuckled. "Tour was great as always but I'm just in a good mood is all"

"That's good. Mya is out today for a doctors appointment but she'll be back tomorrow for some teaching sessions"

"Cool, do you have any today ?"

"Nah, I think Tyler may have some though. He and Jayden are in the teaching center setting up. We already put out the new pick packs and new guitars you ordered are in your office. Are you still hanging guitars in the center ?"

"Yes but I'll do that myself once tour is done. I'll get upstairs before you get too busy down here. Let the others know I'll be in my office if they need anything"

"Gotcha, have a good day Mr.V"

"You too Katie"

The store is two stories high and split into sections. The first floor is the center itself where people can shop for instruments and supplies and sign up for classes. Next to it is another room half its size called the "Museo della chitarra" or "Guitar Museum". It's where I invite people to see my custom guitars enclosed and hanging on the wall. Under it has a name, year I got it and the first showed it was played at.

It's actually the most popular spot because someone left me a sticky note in there and I replied on it. They came back and saw the note I left and the word about it spread. Now people like to leave notes in there for me to see and if I have time I go and write a response. Though it's only limited to thirty-five notes now because the room was filled with notes at one point, people race here just to leave me notes and come back to take them home. It's like a game of sticker tag with them, I enjoy it.

The second floor has six rooms, one being my office. Four are teaching rooms, one is a break room for the workers and the last one is my office that's actually down the hall and around a corner from all the other rooms. It's this way so less people know I'm here. It's a guitar shop but that's never stopped people from coming just in hopes to see me which is why we have certain requirements to become a student and you can only come upstairs with a worker and your student tag.

Workers must sign a contract to not disclose anything private about me like my schedule or who I have come up to my office or anything like that and students only sign a contract if they are 17+. Anyone younger has to be accompanied by a parent where they meet with the manager, Stella, and talk about the privacy agreements.

It took two years to work the kinks but it works and everyone comes and enjoys themselves. Im still working on expanding the place and fixing it up how I want but so far I'm proud of its progress.
