Work Like Play.

I was offered a position at this film production house recently.
The office is a modernised pre-war terrace where a house cat, Sashimi, roams and purrs for food. Spacious, shady and lined with a menagerie of cameras, the ground floor is the polar opposite of second level.

First step in, I was instantly warmed by all the familiar favourite things in the room.
Drum and bass music, an interesting mix of 1970s chairs and Apple computers, and the soft orange glow from three giant white lanterns.
Working here wouldn’t be work at all.

I turned the offer down.
Good ideas aren’t always right ideas.
Great opportunities aren’t always right opportunities.
I’m glad I didn’t rush in.
I’m happy to be working with the producer on a project basis.
Currently, the assignment is a series of video scripts for Sentosa’s Spa Botanica.
Work is joy when you’re moving in your element, your gift.
What’s yours?
Develop and share it.
Let others enjoy your gift.
