There were days that I worked all the time, without a layoff, or a rest, finishing one picture and reporting for another sometimes on the same day.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A big part of reporting is just being present. You have to show up ten days in a row to get the one telling detail.
I'm not an employee who goes to the office every morning at the same time. Then, vacations are needed.
I don't know how I did it, but I worked 7 days a week.
For most of my career I did one comic a day, every day, including weekends and holidays.
I found one had to do some work every day, even at midnight, because either you're professional or you're not.
Often, I work out of my work. One work takes me to the next thing.
While in my late teens and in my 20s, I worked seven days a week, 20 hours a day. I worked my tail off.
At around 50 employees, you get to the point where you can't see what's going on all the time. So you start to have weekly check-ins, and you have days that go by without knowing exactly what's going on.
Why would you have a work day that does not respond to shorter or longer day length? There's something that we lose, taking our schedules away from that locally relevant rhythm.
On days when I do not work, I am working on my image.
