Just had a telephone interview tith this wonderfully strange lady with a foreign accent (relevant on two levels). So. She's telling me all about the fabulous lady I'' be working for, absolutely amazing, a beautiful person etc..
Then she comes out with 'The one thing I need to know though is have you any experience of the stage?'

Pause.

Not to be knocked out at such a minor question, I am going through my 6th class play starring moi as Snow White, the very many conversations I've had with myself in the mirror interviewing me for a whole range of performances, fuck it, I was in the theater 2 months ago!

Yes, I say. Absolutely. 'Did you say the stage?'
Eh yes, Sage, ze accounting package.

DREAMS SHATTERED.

Nooo!

Although I'm terrified of going on stage, so I'd see Sage as preferable!

I actually thought for about 20 seconds I was going to be PA to some eccentric actress. Awful sad.

Now, PA to an eccentric actress sounds like a wonderful job! All the excitement with none of the scary stuff.

Aw MAN I was right there with you! I would love to be the PA to some amazing eccentric actress with an address book of luvvies and a social calendar full of shiny dresses....

Funny how things go.

This had me roaring with laughter. May be you should have quoted your recent success with Turkey Saltimbocca (that's experience with sage)!

MonsterTequila · 19/10/2018 19:53

😂😂 that’s hilarious! Also, if it helps Sage is literally the simplest ‘accounting package’ there is. If you’ve experience with a more complex billing system, then it’s relatively easy to self-teach.

Haha. On the bright side, if you fail to secure this post you have some focus on your dream career. Perhaps tailor your LinkedIn profile to make you irresistible to all eccentric actors? 🤣
