Читать книгу Prison Puzzle Pieces - Dave Basham - Страница 21

While I was doing standup comedy, I took improve classes. I performed, taught and created several improv groups. One thing improv taught me was that you need some sort of conflict to drive a scene in order to make it interesting. You also need characters. This place was overflowing with conflict and characters. When asked if I liked my job, I would flat out tell them, "No, but it's always interesting." A lot of the conflicts I'll be relaying to you involve bad, lazy, egomaniac officers and bosses making unintelligent, uniformed, downright stupid or self serving decisions. If someone did something to save the taxpayers a million dollars, that would be good, interesting and worth telling you about, but those things rarely happen in a place like this. Even though there are many good officers here, most of our time is spent dealing with all of the crap that rolls downhill from those above us.
