Snickers here, FYI - I'm a gal, old gal of 64. Some of the ideas were great, files, fryers, you guys are so clever. My main problem, I'm nervous as all get out and rather shy for some reason when in clown, I think I have a concept in my head I need to be hilariously funny but I know I'm not, does that make any sense? So when doing one on one I feel like I'm bombing. If you tell me how you all got over the jitters and went on to be whatever clown you are, that would be interesting to hear. I only need to be there for about 1/2 hour. It's a group in a section, but they do all have their own cubies, yet when you walk into these sections, you see everyone, everyone sees you. My other issue, I'm stiff, have some slight paralysis in my left leg, so I would love to do greatly exgerated moves but can manipulate that well, probably where some of my shyness is coming from. So anything you care to share about having a less than agile body would also be of interest to me. Would it be offensive to ask if they've gotten their morning paper yet? Then whip out the toilet paper? Suggest break time, give out the brown E's? Dust them off but I'm searching for a reason to do that. I might bring a can with laughter written on it, if they don't laugh resort to my can laughter? Other suggestions I've heard is to find a large pencil, for my calculator. A bottle of white out, that's how I delete stuff. When I come in I'm going to say I'm here to work, I heard this group needed another clown. This is a company that does relocation of employees for large corporations across the US. Can you tell I'm anxious, look how long the note is, I can babble a lot when nervous.
Thanks for listening and suggestions.
