Trinity’s World

Today my boss and the owner of my company pulled me aside to talk to me. They informed me that I had passed my 90 probationary period, and that they had decided to keep me. I wasn’t worried about not been kept on becuase my boss had dropped some very large hints that she wanted to keep me. However it was nice to be able to have it in writing. And I got a whole dollar an hour more as a raise!

They told me I still had to work on the amount of time I spend on the phone with customers, to try to cut it down to basics only. Other than that they loved me and had nothing but good things to say to me. This company is growing, and it I will be a part of it.

Literally, the dust is settling. For the last three months I have been doing this thing called The Southern California Ren Faire. Four weekends of training workshop and rehearsals. Followed by seven weekends of Faire and weekly rehearsal. To give you a picture in tangable terms, I have not slept in past 6:00am a single day for the last 4 months.

Was it worth it? Hell yeah. I got to get up on stage, 5 times a day, Saturday and Sunday, and preform with some really great people. We made people laugh, and cheer, and smile. We sang pretty music for our song sets and the people smiled and swayed in their seats. We did a great family show for Children of all ages, and made families laugh a smile. We told dirty jokes and sang bawdy songs for our NC-17 shows and had people rolling with laughter. That alone was worth the sweat, the tears, and even the blood shed over the course of the run.

The highlight of this fair had to be the day we had a lot of fun with the queen. The Head of Household for the Queen’s Guard set it up as if she had baked a cherry pie for the Queen. So as the Queen is sitting down for lunch, we walk by the table as if we did not realize she were sitting there with the guard having lunch. Oh, and we had cherry pie filling smeared all over our faces! So the Head of House Hold grabs a couple of us by our ears and drags us in front of the Queen to tell her we had eaten her cherry pie. Lots of laughs had by all. She made us apologize and sing a song for her to make up for it.

There were a lot of really great little moments during the run as well. The people that I preform with are such giver. A really supportive bunch of people, even if we do get on each other’s nerves from time to time, everyone really is looking out for each other. The new people who just joined a few weeks before faire madness started had a lot thrown at them, and they jumped right in with both feet to pick it all up.

So what am I going to do now that faire is done? Get ready for the next one! Actually I’m going to spend Memorial day weekend getting my car to pass smog, then the next weekend I have another faire in Big Bear. Then I’m off till August as far as Bells stuff is concerned.

That’s all for now, I’ll try to keep more updated as things go on. Work is really busy right now because we released a new version of our software and the support desk is flooded with calls. But work is fun, and I love my job. So untill next time, I’ll see you next time.

Some of my closest friends in the whole world have just had their first baby. Little Charlotte is sure to bound to bring an amazing amount of joy and happiness into their lives. It kind of got me thinking that I have to get it in gear so that I can have kids before I’m too old to enjoy them. I know that’s a little premature of me to say when I’m not even 30 yet, however I do worry that if I don’t start having a family soon…I’ll be really old by the time my kids graduate High School, let alone college.
