You could take the first part of this title two ways and you would be correct on either. I am quite literally at work on Friday night sick as dog. I am so cold and tired and wish I could go home. I am also sick and tired of work this week. This is the rush time of the year for me at work because all materials need to get made and shipped out so theatres can put them up in time for Christmas. Trying to get approvals is like pulling teeth. No one cares about schedules. It gets approved when it does and we are expected to make miracles happen to get the stuff out. I like what I do but on week's such as this one, it's hard to stay enthusiastic. There is so much to do and not enought time in day to do it. I have been working 12 hours days all this week and haven't stopped to take a break. Today the girls had to make me eat lunch. I forgot to bring mine so so a nice person offered me some food. I wish I could have called in sick but there was no one in the office but me so I had to go in. Plus, there are too many things going on not to go in. Too many approvals. People outside this business might say so what, don't go in you are sick but they don't know what it takes to "make Christmas." So next time you go to the movie theatre and you see all those posters, those banners, those standees, and those floor stickers you think of me cuz, that is my life. My life is to bring cardboard and paper to the world. Got to go, my art just came in and I need to review it for accuracy before it prints tonight.
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
