Shit. Now they’re _singing_. I’ll be back in the storeroom counting cases of paper towels. Veb Next they’ll be yowling ‘I Got Friends In Low Places’ or riffing Bono on trolls. Next it’ll be Sinatra, trolls-in-rap, Celine Dion and The Ride of the Fucking Valkyries. And it’ll end up in wimpy Cafe Society. This job sucks. ---
