Conflicting Information

Some things I will never understand. For example, the audition process.

For a local audition, I had to make an appointment with the producer and email her a number of things, one of which was a list of my conflicts. Despite my conflicts, the audition appointment was made.

I arrived at the audition with the standard audition form, filled in completely with my list of conflicts. Despite my conflicts, I performed my monologue.

At the audition site, I filled in another form on which I yet again listed my conflicts. Despite those conflicts, I was called back.

After a long night of callbacks the director indicated the stack of papers in front of him and said "I haven't looked at these. Do you have any conflicts?"
