Circus career?

As I was walking back to my trailer last night, I had this memory of being at the circus, b/c you hear all the generators and see the trailers that the workers live in. I feel like I’m a worker in a circus over here. We live in trailers, and everything is powered by generators. In the office, we’re doing “stunts” all the time to accommodate somebody’s whimsical idea that looks good on paper. Our routines are sorta like a circus too – we do the same thing every day, yet there are variations that can’t be helped, so we make it look like it was on purpose. We don’t get an encore necessarily, but if we come up with something different that works, people want to see it done over and over again, so it becomes part of our daily routine. We wear costumes just like in a circus too. I would hope people agree that ours are more practical and of better taste, but we don’t get to chose what we wear either. People love the food at a circus, but I bet the workers don’t get very good food-just like us. Ya know how things can go wrong in performances and in movies people say, “the show must go on!” Well, it’s exactly the same thing here when people leave. Even though there’s a new hole as a person who knew everything leaves, the work has to keep going. There is no time to slack off and let a new guy figure out the ropes. An “old timer” has to step in and pick up the slack until the newbie has figured everything out. Sometimes the transfer period is smoother than others, but everything has to keep going regardless of how long or short the training period was for the new person. Ok, enough of the circus analogies, I just figured it’d be easier for some people to understand things here if I related it to something that almost everyone has been to! Plus, I just found it quite funny to see how easily I could switch into the circus career field, and I’d fit right in. haha!
