I have an early loadin this morning. The only unfortunate thing is it's located in Miami and I'm still home in Chicago. Because I had to program another show last night, I could not get my usual day early flight. I have a nasty cold and I'm running on empty.
I once read an article Arnold Serame wrote on Burn Out. He's so right. I think I've been at that stage for a few years now. I am fueled by my desire to do all kinds of shows. I never seem to turn them down. Why is that? Part of me says it's the money. Part of me says I don't want to turn down work when friends call. Or is it the part of me that thinks if I turn it down they might find someone else to light a project and they will never call me again?
Nah, I don't have the reason. I think it's just because it is what we do. I am a gigging machine. I am lucky to love my job. I am lucky to have friends that like my work. I am just thankful that I get enough calls to make a living in this whacky world. But why am I rambling on here for. I have another 30 minutes before my wake up call. I'll have to think of something better to write about for next time. Meanwhile I'm not making sense so I better take that 30 minutes for a power nap…,
