Working for a current affairs show is relentless. In at 8:30, out at 6:30 on an early day, to the gym, and home - oh look, it's time for bed and we start again tomorrow. And God forbid there's breaking news... I may never get home. The good part is that I work with some amazing people. My coworkers are smart and actively engaged in the outside world. They care about what's going on all over the world. Most of them know how to keep a sense of humor when things get stressful. That said, sometimes it's like my life is slipping away; and I wonder what I have to show for it. On the other hand, if I weren't working on this show, I'd be cutting a horrible crime show, or a hideous reality tv program. All in all, I do feel lucky.
I learned last week that an amazing and wonderful person who I knew in college, died. The world lost one of the good ones.
