in sickness and in health
by Bob Cole on Nov 8, 2007 at 11:55:04 pm

Today, while fighting some kind of bug, it occurred to me that I have been very very lucky.

Thousands of days, I've gotten up and gone to work, either on a shoot or in an edit suite. I can't recall ever once waking up at 5 or 6 am on a day that I'd committed to working THAT DAY, and realizing that I just couldn't get out of bed.

Today, when all I had was an unsupervised edit with a loose deadline, I couldn't move or the room would start to spin. Personally, I was miserable. But then I thought of how much more miserable I would've been, if I'd been involved with a shoot with a dozen other people involved. Yet that has never happened.

Is it just luck, or does the prospect of paying work (or fear of letting down the client) somehow stave off illness?

Have you ever had to cancel a work-day at short notice, due to illness? If I were a client, that would tend to make me want to hire a place with a deeper bench!
