🚨   The Orchestra Minion

Arts

Yes: doubtless it is I, who undoubtedly am, Herr Conductor—and if your humble servant had a say, you would not stoop to a review of any remaining application letters, which can contain only the importunities of nuisance candidates—the man long sought for the vacant, not to say vagrant, not to say vagarious post of orchestra minion of the municipal philharmonic, left orphaned upon the death of the legendary Herr Urfer. Frankly I ask you, and with you the application board you preside over, how—how?—does an ensemble of the municipal symphony orchestra’s stature suppose it shall manage an entire winter’s worth of concerts with an absence so glaring in its ranks?
