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.

That Lying, Manipulating Bitch

WOW. All I can say is ‘WOW’.
Tuesday of last week, my “boss” called me into her office—yet again—with more complaints. I knew I was in trouble from the look on her face. Whenever she has a meeting with HER boss, she comes back to me with something I’m doing wrong.

At first I wasn’t “busy enough” and then I wasn’t “as accommodating and helpful as I should be.” But, she told it to me in a way where it just didn’t sit right this time. She claimed that the department VP (her boss) said that I wasn’t performing but, I KNEW she was lying.

Her story didn’t add up. The worst of the two being that I refused to help her white out a paper she was working on. She claimed that I simply sent her to the supply closet and left her hanging. Not true. There was more to the story than she was telling, which sent me into a rage.

That lying, manipulating bitch.

To make matters even worse, she tried to sneakily attack me during a staff meeting the following day. A coworker and I had written a memo that was distributed campus-wide, which set guidelines and procedures for print production and event planning. Ironically, she complimented me about it just weeks before, but she all of a sudden had a problem with it the next day.

She was very nasty and crude about criticizing the “resistant” and “unaccommodating” nature of the memo. In reality, it was professionally written and geared to allow the Development Department betters serve the campus. Constant last-minute jobs and poor planning don’t make for an easy day for ANYONE.

Little did the dumb bitch know, the VP had read, approved and agreed with the memo and I wasn’t the only one who wrote it. So, some coworkers came to my defense while I remained silent. Things got a little heated and people started arguing in my defense. Then, the VP stepped in and shut her down, but she acted as if she was in the right—asshole.
