floor pizza

i performed at two venues tonight. the second was where a big deal was made about pizza falling on the floor, and some comics were still willing to eat it. reminded me of a 'simpsons' episode where bart was delighted to see 'trash cookies'. i passed on the pizza even though it was offered to me, as i had eaten before i got to the venue. i missed it as to how it ended up on the floor, even though i usually pay attention really well. i just know it was at the end of a comic's set. still not sure if it was done on purpose, with comedians one never knows. since some believe in 'anything for a laugh'.
   i wasn't thrilled when i called one temp agency, the one i applied with this month, to follow up. i was told they wouldn't place me because they think i sounded too frustrated and angry. of course i am, who isn't when they are unemployed? this became part of my comedy set tonight, and the final joke i did. i guess i didn't think i was all that frustrated or angry with them, the term the agency used was 'short' with their staff. well i wanted to get the paperwork done quick. at the same time, i may not need them anyway. since i checked their website and it looks like they had little or nothing in my field. i applied with them since they were at a job fair i attended, and it was the only firm that anything close to something in my field. i will take it with a grain of salt as to what they said to me, as i see it as being 'passionate' more than anything else. and they were too quick to judge me. there is somebody that will want to give a chance to me, a 'diamond in the rough'.
   the first venue i performed at was a micro-brewery, inside what was once a big brewery complex, first time there was this month for an art event where i bought two postcards. except i found out one of the employees was not correct about how they no longer have comedy shows. i don't like being lied to at all. but this happens all the time, if people don't know the answer they just make stuff up. i would prefer that they be honest with me and say 'i don't know' if they really don't know.
