Welcome To 2007...Continued

Earlier I posted on how thrilled I am that my current employer decided they no longer require my services. Their reason? Well, none. But they did hire a guy named Eric to replace me. I saw his audition. It was quite good. He sang a song from "Jesus Christ Superstar", which needless to say was not in the style of the show he was auditioning for at all. I doubted they would hire him. Way too ethnic looking, too much of an R&B sound. But they did hire him, and I was fired.

Then Eric failed his pre-employment drug test.

Seems this company can't replace me without finding the WORST choice possible.

So, now scrambling to find a replacement for my replacement, management decides to hire a guy named Paul from New York. Just so happens that one of the female singers in the show has worked with him before. He played Ali Hakim in "Oklahoma" with her. In case you don't know Oklahoma, that role barely sings and doesn't dance at all. Now, the clueless management of my current production has a horrible habit of hiring male singers who don't know their right foot from their left, so I ask this girl, "How good is this guy? Can he dance at all?" To which she replies, "Well, he's not that much of a dancer. Actually acting is more his forte."

Great. An actor. Hired for a singing/dancing role.

And this is my replacement?

Way to go you dumb fucks.
