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.

Chapter 3.1: Night's Thoughts

I am long over due for an update! I'm breaking my promise.

So far, everything is still going well. I'm still trying to get adjusted to my new job. I still kind of feel like a fish out of water, mostly because a lot of the work flow is "up in the air."

For one thing, with the College's website redesign, everything else has taken a back burner, so things have been a little vague and over sighted lately. I feel bad, because I know I'm not busy enough—the flow of work isn't consistent and comes in peaks and valleys—but I don’t know if that is something that will be seen as my fault or not.

I still have this fear of being seen as "not needed" or not doing my job and I don't know how to get over it. To cover my ass, I ask key people if there are things I can do to help them while I have a lull, but usually the answer is "no thanks."

I hate it when I get slammed with stuff that I could have been working on while I have nothing to do. That just shows a lack of communication and following up—not on my part.

I really shouldn't let the small shit bother me as much as it does because it's ultimately not a big deal because I am not made to feel like it is, but I am still programmed to answer "how high?" when my boss asks me to jump.

Should I be? Do I NEED to be? I don’t know.
