• Peace on Earth (and all that mushy stuff)

    Okay, everyone who knows me knows I am quite sentimental at Christmas. And this one is no exception. I am about to take some time off for the holiday, so as I walked into work early this morning, I was filled with this overwhelming gratitude for the people who choose to call Brains on Fire home.

    So I told Steve (always the first one in) how glad I was we had found him this year and he said, ‘Thanks, it’s a calling really.’

    Then he sent this email:

    “Well…here’s the deal.  Mike left his keys in Rene’s glove compartment. Yeah…I know…not the smartest…but he does have long hair, so what did you expect.

    Anyway, since Rene gets up at 3AM every day, and Mike is a long-haired slacker, Rene was already here when Mike realized he had no keys (or, apparently, a pair of scissors for that hair).

    Long story short, she’ll be back by about 9:15ish.

    Everyone here is amazing. Everyone.

    Have the best Holiday EVER!

    Love,

    So I just read this, then the phone rang, and I answered “Brains on Fire, I love my life!” I suppose, as this is a blog, I should make a correlation between acknowledgment and effort. Something about the more you tell your employees you appreciate them, the more they’ll do to be appreciated.

    But you all know that…it’s like preaching to the choir (you won’t listen, because you’ll be wondering about why Mrs. Ledbetter’s hair is all ruffled this morning, and why the preacher won’t stop talking about some desert somewhere and just get on with the good parts, namely, you singing your little heart out).

    So instead, I’ll just say “thank you.” A lot. Where else could a struggling actor with a Rhetoric degree find a home (and benefits)? We’ve all got our stories, and I’m glad they’ve intertwined to meet right here, right now. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
