WORK/LIFE

It's been one of those days. One of those days that makes me love my job at the exact same moment that I want to throw myself out of the window.

Our director was flying in from London today to give notes on the show prior to our Lincoln Center Taping. First email I read this morning at 7:30am is from her - saying she can't get on the plane because her son is sick.

It's these moments when life smacks you in the face. What matters most here is not the $4600 plane fare that we will likely lose. What matters most is that she be with her son while he is ill and that he heals quickly.

Sure my morning was full of scrambling to try to avoid being charged for services that we are no longer utilizing. But it was much less stressful than her morning, spent worrying about the health of her son.

What matters most is family and friends. Not work. Work is great; work is full of friends and fun and energy. But it is not life. It is a part of life, but it is not life.

These moments remind me of how happy I am to have a wonderful life that includes wonderful work, but most importantly includes wonderful family and friends.
