Every couple of weeks I work as a stand-in for the show In Treatment. I go back and forth about what I feel about the job. Sometimes it is exciting and feels valuable to have a first row seat behind the scenes of such highly respected television production. Other times it just kills me, to sit warming the bench (literally), watching other people play. Put me in Coach! Yesterday’s shoot was a particularly long day, which is hard for a Friday, especially the Friday before Christmas, but I’m thankful for how it will pad my pitiful Christmas budget.
Also, on my morning commute I was listening to this podcast by Rob Bell, who was talking about developing a bigger picture perspective about life. A call to stop grumbling and complaining through it. That, with a little discipline, there are better things to talk about. I then proceeded to completely fail at this challenge the rest of the day, but it was a good reminder.
