Enjoy the small things.

Today, we were setting up an assortment of mics for a vocalist and I was just struck by the simple pleasure of how awesome this looks. It is the engineering equivalent of a playboy. It made me realize that sometimes I forget to take time out to really appreciate the small things in my job. Things like having the ability to choose from such a vast collection of mics and gear for any project is really a blessing that I never thought possible. So, my advice? Take a few minutes to enjoy the everyday wonders in your world. It will make a huge difference.
