Sometimes, when I'm at work...

[pepperlandgirl]

I feel like I'm really stuck in some bizarre, post-modern, art-house, independent, senior project, short film. Like when somebody calls and says immediately "Do you have any appointments on Tuesday?" It takes my brain a moment to catch up. Who? What appoitnments? When is Tuesday? What the hell are you talking about?

Or when they say, "I need an appointment." Because I'm a mind-reader. If the director of this film had known anything, he would have made me a mind-reader. Or at least let me see the script, so I know what they're all going on about.

Or the people who call who have no idea when they want to be tutored. They'll sit on the phone for twenty minutes and plan their schedule for the next month to fit in a 30 minute appointment. I know normal people whould work out the schedule before the phone call. So what are they doing? Testing me? Or they that self-absorbed and oblivious?

Well if this mad film continues, I demand some changes.
1) I want one cool black and white shot. At least one.
2) I want some odd, catchy, house music playing in the back ground at random intervals.
3) I want Allan Cumming. He'sin all the independent films, right?
4) I want catering. I imagine the writer/producer/director is poor. But come on, don't we get some water around here?

Otherwise, I'm quitting.

Oh, I can totally picture that in the Lec! In fact, I think the whole damn thing should be in black and white or at least in really grainy color. it would symbolize the confusion of the callers coupled with the annoyance of Haley. Then when they yell at you, the clarinet on the jazzy soundtrack would get really loud! It would also have those shots that move really fast from person to person, like someone's mom is filming it.
I think Alan Cumming should be a funny foreign exchange student.
