Finding the Positive

tealinI'm being a good citizen and learning CG at work ... I could make any number of pithy comments on it but the emphasis here is on good citizen, so I shall present you with the positive:
As CG lacks a gestural rough pass, as one does in 2D, there is no point in the process at which I must fully employ both left and right sides of my brain simultaneously, which means I can now listen to Radio 4 all the time. The immediately apparent benefits are that every morning will start with Eddie Mair and I will never miss another show again. The bigger picture, though, is this: Radio 4 is the happy drug that got me through several mind-numbing and existentially challenging productions in the past, international and domestic turmoil, emotional upheaval, deracination and homesickness, unemployment, chores, you name it ... as long as I have my aural narcotics I need never actually cope with anything ever again! Being stuck in a computer lab with twenty-eight copies of Maya is nothing!
I love you, Radio 4.
