The Magic of Thinking SFF

The most glorious thing in the world is to have an email inbox page entirely of messages from one day of work. On a Friday. ALL about work-related things (nothing frivolous here!). And to wake up to more on both Saturday and Sunday.

I don't mean that facetiously (or sarcastically, or...) - Honest. If you think I do mean it that way (which I know can be difficult to tell over the internet), then read it and reread it - again and again - until it sounds sincere. I'll wait.

Finished?

Good.

You know what's exciting about all those emails? They mean that people are getting things done, working hard, making progress - not settling for a 9-5/Mon-Fri to make this film festival thing happen. People doing their best to create the best ten days of entertainment that they can. How cool is that?

I'm impressed.

And as much as I try to live away from my computer on the weekends, I felt compelled to check my inbox a few times - because I knew the energy was there (and thus, emails would follow). I knew there were things to be done and the SFF staff never seems to stop!

("Magic 8-Ball, do they ever sleep?"

"My sources say No."

"Never?"

"Very Doubtful."

"Never ever?"

"Are you kidding? It's only 26 days until the festival!

...I Mean... Outlook Not So Good.")

So, all I can do is keep in it, keep up with it, and keep checking if there's something in my inbox that I can help out with...

And I was right. Something's there.

It just keeps gaining momentum.
