Noise in the Shape of Writing

It's so weird to hear the head of National Lampoon referred to as a CEO. How can you be funny if you accept the title CEO? How can you even manage people who are supposedly funny? If I had a funny company (a company that made with the funny, not a company that was in itself hilarious, which is most of the ones I have worked at) I would not let anyone go above "secretary". Yeah. Secretary of Funny is about the highest rank I'd allow. Maybe Grand Poobah, but probably Secretary. Cause that's a funny word... secretary.

At any rate, the CEO of National Lampoon is coming to see the show Thursday, along with his entire writing staff, supposedly. This cannot be good. I was originally eagerly anticipating the Nat Lam coming to our show to see my stuff. I thought maybe they were looking for writers. Now I am skeptical about this thing. Really, why on earth would you send your writers go to see a show that you were hoping to hire the writers from? I don't think you would. I think you'd send your writing team to get used to some potential actors you might be thinking of hiring, and perhaps a director.
