Save Something :: The Way Back

Today, the last day. A few minor things to clear up and officially I'm done. I spent this morning in Steward's Report Hell.

Note to self: Never get that sick again on a job. Update Steward's Reports daily!

I did get them done and turned into the Hall before 2 PM which was pretty good timing considering I had the entire show's worth to do in a couple hours. I also put in some time at the office handing in invoices and chatting. I brought my photos down to share with the Production Office. It's always nice to get a look at the things you don't get to see when you're stuck behind the desk. I remember oh so well...

I still have some work to do on the Continuity Book and a G-Job to finish. I'm giving myself until the New Year to get that done. I'm still pushing myself too hard. A latent effect from the show. My mind and body still aren't accepting the idea that it's okay to slow down now. I started getting a migraine last night before I headed out to Broadway. I woke up with it hanging around this morning. By the time, I was ready to leave the office around 5 PM, I was in agony and denial. I was getting a wake up call from somewhere to take it at an easier pace.

I find myself thinking about the main character in Gattaca when I start to realize I'm pushing myself this hard. He used to race his older brother in the ocean. He asks his brother in a pivotal scene if he knew why he always won? He said it was because he never saved anything for the way back. He gave it all for the race.

That's me. That's all my strength, my weaknesses, and faults. It's what makes me good at what I do and awlful at my personal life. Everyday, I gave it all to and for the movie. I never left anything to take me home, to keep me well, or to live my life. I have to question this. I have to wonder if there is a better way...

While I figure it out, I'll download and enjoy the simple pleasures. I have a new bed, a flush bank account, and a way back to normal.
