Stage managers do it in the dark.

I trained at the coffee bar today at Nordstrom's. I went in the bathroom and caught a glimpse of myself in my uniform... Black pants, black shirt, black shoes. Its basically what I would wear backstage, minus the headset. So I started thinking that this whole job is just theater, which is exactly how you sell a product anyway. And training today is like rehearsal... and I decided that no matter where I go I can't seem to get away from theater, even when I'm trying to take a break. The only difference is, you can stage manage in the dark. You can't froth a cappucino in the dark. Well you could. "But somebody's a gonna get hurt real bad. I'm not gonna say who. But somebody."

And thats about all I can talk about here. Yay me I'm getting paid!
