Positive reinforcements

For two days in a row I have been lucky enough to hear some really nice things about my work from co-workers and managers. On Saturday, Kenny called me just to say thank you for the effort I was putting into making props and hats for people. It made me feel very good. Then on Sunday night, Karen pulled me into her office to ask me if I wouldn't mind changing from house left ramp to house right. She explained that all of the Cirque creative staff hang around house right and she wanted to put me there so they could see someone with real energy and presense in that position. She also hoped it would spur those around me to go a little farther with their chacter work. I'm fairly elated. My only bummer was that George had stayed up all night to finish some props and I felt like a slacker. But in my defense I was very sick. I almost didn't go, but I am sure glad I stuck it through.
In another bonus Yorg, who plays the evil counsilor and had over 30 years of acting and miming experience, has offered to work with us a bit tommorow. I'm very excited to do this.
