"How My Day Went" - a very short, one scene play
Characters:
OF1: Office Manager 1 - is training OF2, is leaving job in three days, has been there approx. 1 year
OF2: Office Manager 2 - is in training, has been at job 2 days
PTP: Part-Time Person - has been at job a number of years
BOSS1: been with company since beginning; works from home and usually over phone
SCENE: small office, mid-morning, mid-week, OF1 and OF2 working at desk, PTP off-stage
OF1: (discussing office procedures and what PTP is supposed to be doing)
OF2: (taking notes like crazy, trying not to panic over amount of information)
PTP: (staying in back of office out of sight)
OF1 looks up, as if she sees something off-stage. She looks back at OF2 and goes back to discussing office procedures. Outside office door opens
BOSS1 walks in
BOSS1: Good Morning
OF1: O HAI, good to see you, how are you doing?
OF1's brain(only heard by OF1): MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY! ABANDON SHIP AND TRAINING SCHEDULE! MAYDAY!
OF1's subconscious (only heard by OF1's brain): FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU
BOSS1: Thought I'd come in to see how training is going, and to check in on the office. And talk to PTP.
OF2: (trying not to quiver behind OF1) Hi
OF1: (sounding happy and not sarcastic at all) Great, thanks. We're just discussing procedures this morning....
OF1's brain: FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU
OF1's subconscious: Does Riesling go with tacos?
BOSS1: And I'm in town until Friday. Where's PTP?
OF1: Just a moment. I need to get something. (heads off-stage)
OF1's brain: @$$^&^&*&%%^%%$$#@
OF1's subconscious: (is whining something about going out of town starting Friday afternoon)
OF1 can be heard whispering to PTP. Sounds vaguely like "Put that book away". OF1 steps back into office, holding a bottle of water. PTP follows.
PTP: O HAI BOSS1. You want to see me?
PTP and BOSS1 go off-stage. OF1 and OF2 look at each other
OF1: I. Did. Not. Know. About. This.
OF2: Who was that?
AND SCENE.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
No, this isn't autobiographical at all. Why are you asking? However, from recent personal experience I can tell that Riesling does go nicely with tacos.
And now, off to do that list I was SUPPOSED to do at work today....and to get some more Riesling.
