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

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 4.1: Thanked for Once

Thanked for Once

Dying to know what the “talk” would entail, I maintained a calm demeanor and asked if we had to talk right away or if we could wait the following week. After being told “we have to talk” by one of my supervisors, I could tell I was in trouble by the tone of her voice. Of course, my office mate had to tease me a little, which made me feel worse when he suggested that it was for my review.

Sure enough, a white piece of paper was slid in front of me for my 3-month evaluation. I looked down at it, expecting to see harsh critiques and details of my poor performance, but it was QUITE the opposite.

3 marks for “exceeds expectations.”

I couldn’t believe my eyes… and to make sure what I was looking at was real, I asked if it was and laughed out loud, joking that I thought I was in trouble.

Trouble wasn’t the case. My supervisor told me that I was doing an excellent job and great work. To top it off, she personally said that I was an excellent part of the team. Wow. Appreciated, respected and thanked for once.
