I'm sorry to be triple-posting here, but I'm ready to talk about my day as the puppeteer. Well, today has been a good day for me, I always love to go down to my local PBS and help out with production, but it's even more fun when I get to do puppets for pledge time. Today, since they were haven't too much to handle with too many microphones, they kept switching me out with the other puppeteer. As I was answering phones, I noticed one screen the other puppet got to interact more, while I only go to do the "uh huh's" and the "mm-hmm's". Usually we have three cameras. Since camera 3 requires less action, I'm usually put on that camera. Today, I was excited when I was put on camera 1, but that was before they decided that I would be better suited to answer phones. Now I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining, because that's not how I'm trying to say it, but the best way to describe my feeling, is that I feel I'm getting "The Trapper Treatment". In which Wayne Rogers was told his character, Trapper was to be Hawkeye's equal co-star, but ended up being just his sidekick, so he quit the show. I have no plans to quit, but the last two times I was part of the pledge drive as the puppeteer, I was basically treated as an equal, but lately, it's like all of the sudden I'm just a background character.
