A Scene from GLORIA by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins | Goodman Theatre

It's just what happens when you stay in this hideous place for too long. It could happen to any of us. Really, Kendra? The intern is right there. He's wearing his headphones. And I hope you're paying attention, Ani. I know your whole thing is like "Oh, I'm so pretty." "I'm a pretty nerd. I graduated college a year early with like a neuroscience degree and was going to go to clone like baby brains but accidently wound up in magazines because I know computer and science stuff but if this doesn't work out I can always just go to like brain school or computer school or wherever pretty nerds go." But you better start figuring your shit out. Get a five year plan. Because if you don't you're going to wake up one day and this interesting thing you thought you were going to do after college is actually your career and you have to live with it. (burp) Ew. For example: this cautionary tale. Excuse me? Don't you hold the title for the longest living assistant on Edit Row? No. Daisy's been here the longest. Daisy doesn't count. She's the assistant to the editor in chief which is basically an associate editor. And I said "longest living." Aren't you turning thirty any day now? I will die before I turn thirty in a cubicle. Let me know how I can help you with that. And Daisy is not an associate editor. First of all she ghost-edits all the writers Michael doesn't want Second of all, if you're in a cubicle you're an assistant. Okay, Dean. Believe what you need to believe. What's your five year plan, Kendra? What do you mean? You're 27. That gives you only three years. Um, I'm clearly making healthy strides towards an exit. With what? Your fake twitter accounts or your fashion tumblrs. Eat me. At least I'm getting my name out there. I guess I should be on the Drunk Uncle Dean plan Getting wasted every night and continue waiting around here for a promotion that's never going to happen? Kendra, do some work. If you had half a brain you'd look around and see everyone in charge here is pushing 60 or just past it and they're not going anywhere and they are certainly not thinking about you.
