The Kabuki Play 3

Kabuki is a traditional form of Japanese theater that portrays the lives of people who lived during the Edo period (1600-1868). While it's subject matter is primarily historical, Kabuki's extraordinary spectacles of color and sound through acting, dancing and music still symbolize contemporary life.

About Me

Name:

HISTORY OF "THE KABUKI PLAY"

  • The original "Kabuki Play" writings exposed a brash inner monologue as I struggled through the trials and tribulations as a college student. Broken friendships, irritating dorm-mates and akward trips home between semesters kicked off the first "Kabuki Play" series. However, college didn't last forever and "the real world" was right around the corner with drama ten fold.
  • "The Kabuki Play 2," a darker and more disturbing account, told the unsettling story about my first job after graduating from college, it being one of the biggest trainwrecks in the history of "The Kabuki Play." After being caught in the middle of 10 consecutive firings in less than two years and being stuck with four pisspoor bosses, I decided that I'd had enough. So, I quit my job and cut off all the negativity in my life, and moved two hours away from home to start my life over.
  • With a new job, my own apartment and a new beginning, "The Kabuki Play 3" picks up where the second series left off and revisits my inner monologue as I try to leave the past behind me and spread my wings.

Another Year

Another year has slipped away and my 23rd birthday hit me in the face on Monday. For one thing, getting older and still having no satisfaction out of this life of mine is sickening.

Those who gave a SHIT, remembered and at least called; I really appreciate them for it. My office threw a small party for me with balloons, gifts, and a birthday cake with lit candles. They really went ALL out, which helped to take my mind off things! I REALLY can’t remember the last time someone (aside from me and my parents) has done ANYTHING like that for my birthday.

But you know what? I’m NOT gonna trip. The athletics department wants to take me out to lunch for all my hard work I’ve done for them and my boss (who I’ll get to in a minute) also wants to take me out so I will be celebrating ALL week! In addition to that, I got some great gifts and more on the way so WHAT-EVER.

That’s ENOUGH about me. The staff writer position, from the guy they paid to leave, and the publicist position, from the other guy they fired several weeks ago, have already been filled (believe it or not). The 2 women who took the position aren’t really getting along. As my boss puts it, the “chemistry isn’t there.”

Apparently, my boss hired one of the girls for the staff writer position fulltime. I’ll refer to her as “C”… Now, C was made to believe that she was fulltime, but a few days after she started, my boss changed her mind and decided to make her a temp. The reason being is to basically give C a “test drive” if you will… It’s been about 3-4 weeks since C started and she’s been temping this whole time, thinking she was going to be hired fulltime. So she’s being strung along and no decisions were being made.

I think it was yesterday where my boss decided to put the position back on the market and begin accepting resumes again… She told C that she can apply for the position if she wants. Basically, my boss is using her to get work done and now she wants to get rid of her by opening up the position…

How are you going to tell a person one thing and then DO ANOTHER?? That poor girl got screwed…
