Getting a gig abroad has been the rare break that Cute Crooner (CC) has been waiting for since his career was stalled by a sordid situation. Unfortunately, CC’s new “source of pride” has also turned him into a pig-headed performer. He has become too big for his britches.
Following the coveted stint, CC has sadly forgotten that humility could always trump a performer’s bloated sense of sense. But be forewarned, dear readers: Many of CC’s public pronouncements about how his prodigious skills had dazzled throngs of admirers abroad were, at best, overblown and merely imagined.
Seasoned Thespian (ST) is one of the few colleagues who can debunk CC’s “exaggerated” claims because ST was also in the same project that hired CC. When Common Friend (CF) visited ST abroad, it didn’t take long before ST revealed to CF that CC’s time with the project wasn’t really as easy peasy as CC wanted everybody to believe. Truth is, CC actually had a difficult time “adjusting” to the standards of excellence that he and his coworkers were expected to live up to.
CC, as ST disclosed, was “a little slow” where following directions was concerned. Lesson learned: Don’t believe everything you hear! INQ
