Warm Fuzzies

Somedays its really the little things that cheer you up. Such as a few short sentences in an email.

Our house manager, one of the consistently positive and helpful personalities at this theatre wrote a short but sweet email praising the publicity photos for Goodnight Moon. She was greatly impressed by the amount of work the entire staff pulled off in a week.

But the end of the email...two short sentences. She had run into my intern's grandmother...the intern working with me on Romeo and Juliet. And the grandmother told her my intern was having the time of her life working on the costumes with me. And she expressed her thoughts on the great value of the program that this was a part of. These few short sentences of positive affirmation had been forwarded to the entire staff of our theatre, including my boss.

The program she is referring to is, of course, the one which my boss extracted himself from in such an ugly manner just a few days earlier.

It was reassuring to see someone on our own staff; someone immune to and oblivious of the conflict that had occurred at the other theatre; forward such a positive message.
