“Who is it?”
“It’s The ShowBusiness Commission and we’d like to speak with you.”

“We here at The ShowBusiness Commission have chosen you. You’ve been spending a lot of time just sitting around here in your apartment, but your name came across the wire today and we’re here with the rocket ship: fame and riches and respect and fulfillment, it’s all yours
Sure you haven’t really proven to more than a few dozen people that you can do it, but we’re willing to look past that if you can.
We know you haven’t really been working super hard…yet somehow you manage to still think you deserve worldwide acclaim…and it turns out the thin confidence, the shallow foundation, the wavering commitment which that expectant attitude provides is just what we’re looking for.
So come on, kid. The ShowBusiness Commission is waving its wand, bestowing glory and christening you into your dreams.”
We hope we can all appreciate the humor.
But I also know that tucked waaaaay back in our brains, deep down in the places we don’t like to admit or speak from…in whatever job we’re doing, we have real honest moments where we wish The ShowBusiness Commission was real and the above conversation could be true for us.
