What An Inspiring Mantra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Sheila: Am I doing something you don't like?
I mean, you told me to be myself.
Zach: Just bring it down.
Sheila: Bring.......what down?
Zach: Your attitude.
---Sheila and Zach in "A Chorus Line"
When I saw this sign, dolls, I knew I had to have it on the wall of my office cubicle. Why do so many people have a problem with attitude? I say, they have a problem with individual personality.
Speaking of "A Chorus Line" the one in it who I always saw myself as was Cassie, (Donna McKechnie) over qualified for lesser parts, not good enough to be a star. That's me, dolls--or so I thought. Whenever I discuss this aspect of the show, everyone always sees me as Sheila. I asked one person why, and he said, "Because you always tell it like it is!"
Do I? Is this really how people perceive me? How delightful!!!!!!!!!
I always saw Sheila as a survivor. But, remember, at the end, she does not get hired.
So, where is all this going? Those of us of a more acerbic bent just cannot contain it. I mean, where would Alexander Woollcott be if he had?
Some of us need to shine, darlings! Even if we do the polishing ourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And those who call this attitude--I call it FABULOUSNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
