The one where I admit I am lazy but don’t know it.
So, I decided I’m a lazy person. I know, this shouldn’t be some huge revelation, but I had an epiphany today. It was somewhere between my job, my part time gig building a set for “The Wiz”, text messaging another theatre’s marketing guy about getting show posters done, getting and e-mail about costumes for yet another show I’m producing, and trying to figure out if Jack has a game AND swim practice this weekend…I decided I’m lazy by nature. I am fighting against that nature to do all these things. Why? I could totally be that guy, watching baseball on the couch, eating chips, and flipping channels just because I’m bored. I could just hang out with the family (I’d have to catch my wife between her 70 different things) and do nothing. But no. I have to stretch myself out. Be everywhere at once. Multi task king.
Belch.
“I love you Comer…You saved our show!” one of the students says as I am running through the theatre.
That’s why…or atleast some of it. These kids deserve a good show. Something they can be proud of. Something that is like nothing they have ever done. They deserve someone who will take some extra time out of a packed day to swing by and make it a little better than it was before. It’s not about the accolades…though they are nice and welcome. It’s about a job well done and showing work ethic that might be a positive effect on the kids.
I’ll be lazy…one day…just not today.
