OLTL SATIRE-PART THIRTY SIX & 1/2

An OLTL Satire - Part 36 ½ - Botrina Takes A Day Off

This is a work of fiction. It is meant to be satirical in nature.

Hi. I’m Dim. I’m writing you this little ditty from the laptop Robin and I “acquired” from JFP’s office when we locked her in Asa’s wine cellar. I’m at the studios - it’s after hours and I’m getting ready to leave but I thought you’d all like to know a few things before I go.
Did you know Laura Koffman got fired recently? Yep. It’s true. I did mail call a few times with Laura and she was really cool. Had a great sense of humor. Well, when I heard Jill the Hack gave Laura the “pink” slip I got incensed. I was in my dressing room with Robin and Flo when we found out. Robin and I marched up to Jill’s office and put her on notice. We said…
“This is the MOST insensitive thing we’d ever seen done, Jill!” we said…
Jill put down her 8 by 10 framed picture of Tim Gibbs and paid us some attention.
“Laura Koffman gave you 100 percent this past year and you reward her by giving her a pink slip! You’re a hack Jill!” We said.
“And?” said Jill lighting a ciggie.
“We’re taking a few days off IN PROTEST over you’re firing of Laura…” We said.
“You can’t do that!” muttered Jill lighting another ciggie. She pulled out some brasso from a draw to polish the picture frame.
“Watch us,” We said.
“You’ll never get your commissary privileges back,” said Jill as we walked out.

Robin and I walked into the make-up and caught up with the gossip crew. The gossip crew consists of Erin Torpey, Flo, Gina, Don Jeffcoat, my sweetie, Jason, David Fumero, and Erika Page, our new “Poisonwood Rosie”, who took over as the resident “psycho” after Sonia left. We told the gossip crew we were taking a day off IN PROTEST to Laura’s firing. The gossip crew got fired up and decided they were all taking a day off too - with us - IN PROTEST over Laura’s firing.
In fact, we got soooooo loud, Hill, Bob, Phil, Patty M., and Patty E. decided to join us on our day off. TDS and NP all ready had the day off. Jill doesn’t think we’ll really do it, but we will.
So, this weekend, there will be no new satire. That’s right. No new satire. We’re taking a day off. Unless you want to see FOJ’s (which I doubt you do) Instead, I’ll post some “CLASSIC” satire. In fact, the “CLASSIC” I intend to print is Part 10 - “I’VE GOT EVERYING IN HERE INCLUDING THE KITCHEN SINK”. It’s the first time Botrina SMACKS! Sykes with her purse for making a pass at Téa. I just thought Jill might need another reminder. Not that she'd take the HINT.
Also, in this one, “I” do an on-line chat, Sykes gets swatted with the kitchen sink, JFP’s intercom plays “Twilight Zone” music…It originally “aired” on 23 JUL 98.
So, fans, I’m sorry that me, the gossip crew, and half of the cast won’t be able to entertain you this week but it’s very IMPORTANT to us to TAKE THE DAY OFF and show our support for LAURA.
Have a good one…
“Dim, are you still here?”
“Flo...what are you doing?”
“They’re waiting for us done at Scores…”
“I’m coming…I’m coming…”
