Through the rain and the fog I see a moose.
Rain and fog today... more melting. Good.
While on FB today, Mrs Moose IM'd me. She wanted to find out what I paid for Himself's theater camp, to get an idea what to charge for her camp. Or her friend's camp? I'm not sure. More to the point, she wants to know what she can boast what they are overcharging and she is undercharging for her professional services. Only I feel this is one of those cases where you definately will get what you pay for. I also think she's using the moment to boast. She had to make sure she seemed to be doing so well with her improv group with this "I am overwhelmed with calls right now for my adult workshop in improv" this Supposedly they are flocking in to her group... only this is not reflected at all on her FB page for the group, who's likes remain stagnant at about 58, and who's comments and shares also remain near zero. Yet somehow she is promising riches beyond your wildest dreams for this improv group, which is going to be earning $100. per person per gig, which she has venues nipping at her heals for. And her stratigic marketing? Undercut everyone else (not sure who else is doing this, but hell, they are overpriced, let me tell you) " If you want to be at the top of the business ladder, without paying for expert advice through the nose, you need to give us a call for a private workshop intensive!" What a workshop intensive is, I have no idea, but whomever this is aimed at.. well, no one is seeing it. So there's that. Also in her sales pitch, she claims to hold the "National Record in Public Speaking" in the "National Forensic League". What the fuck does that even mean? She is so full of shit! And one more point she made was that she was that she needed money for the dogs (I assume to put them in a kennel) so the family could go on the cruise her parents are paying for (for theri 50th). She then goes on to tell me the wise words of wisdom from one of her good friends (an actor and director she apparently met once while doing work as a extra on a local movie) that it is better to be rich than famous. Well... she is neighter.. so there is that.
Mostly I just sit back and watch the BS she dishes out. And dish she does. I'm just waiting for the implosion. She's hooked up with a real community theater.. but she will outstay her welcome at some point. I can see she is just using them at this point.. eventually they will figure it out.. She wants to make money.. enough to be self sustaining.. the only problem is, she has nothing to sell. She lost her gig at the school, which she only held onto from what I can see by there being another teacher there to 'assist' her. Now she's using her place in the Com. Theater to have a place for her workshops... but I highly doubt she is bringing in any money to them.. So eventually they will tire of her. This looks so much like her past attempt at being a life coach or whatever it was she called it. She seems to honestly feel people will pay her for the privilage of having her teach them something, some magical knowledge that will let them have as successful a life as she has. When flat out, the trick is to marry a soldier and have him get injured enough to collect full dissability for the rest of his life, then sponge off the bennies that come with that sacrifice. Because that is exactly what she's doing. Only she needs some spending money, so she's going to teach kids the fine arts, as she was taught.... only for less than anyone else would do. Who could pass on that?
And as if Mrs Moose wasn't enough entertainment, Munchousen by Proxy lead mom today anounced she lost yet another babysitter after only half a day. GEE, I WONDER WHY?" Fuck you!" isn't a propper responce to someone? Hrm.. better work on that. I had to resist the urge to mention that the last time she was here with her 3 kids, maybe 3 years ago... they were discussing all the babysitters they have had over the years. No, nothign wrong there..... As long as mom can still keep doing her good works... That's what's important. (eye roll)
Well, that's my vent..
Oh wait, I heard from Biv a few nights ago... I forgot to mention it. She called, wanted me to turn on the scanner to see what the hubub was about. Nothing apparently, but it gave her a chance to go on and on... She is no longer at the resteraunt she was at for a while. That's a shame for her.. but she also sounded manic.. so I assume they had just had enough of her. She is back at home, and going to take the summer off? Who knows. I have no idea with her.. but that's the way she always has been. Just figured some of you might want the news. I know she was always a bit of an entertainment aspect here.
