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.

The Good, The Bad, and the FUCKING STUPID

After a long and drawn-out process, some electricians finally came to install more power in my office and the surrounding area. It was quite nice because I couldn’t work for half the day since they were drilling and creating debris.

I couldn’t have my second computer installed without the power upgrade, so it’s a huge step to at least get that out of the way. With a new PC in addition to my Mac, I can be a little more efficient and effective with my job. The next thing I have to worry about is getting a desk that will house 2 computers and still allow for some workspace. A nice corner unit will be nice if I can find one.

I got so fucking mad at the “webmaster” AGAIN today. He’s really got NERVE. As if I’m not overwhelmed enough already, little by little, he dumps his responsibilities on me, simply because he doesn’t feel like doing them anymore. Besides the obvious—his increasing lackadaisicalness by the second—he figures he can alleviate his workload since I have some web experience.

It’s not part of my job description NOR did I agree that I would be maintaining his slack, but he went behind my back and convinced my boss to have me PICK UP HIS SLACK.

That was mistake #1, but I let it roll off.

The particular task he wants me to do takes 3 SECONDS, but he’s so fucking lazy, he forwards the e-mails to me, and just says “thanks.”

Today, someone asked him to update something, but the e-mail didn’t have all the information necessary to make the update. He forwards it to me, like it’s my duty to do all the research. What he needs to do, is e-mail that person back and tell them to contact me directly.

I don’t understand why he can’t just do what people ask him to do. I don’t know. I just don’t like the way he goes about doing this… it’s not really polite or fair… or very accommodating. I’m getting sick of his shit. I really don’t think there is any person on campus that angers me to the degree that he does!
