It’s been a rather hard few days as my folks have not been well. I know that I have to just keep on going despite all of what goes on. That is easier said than done however the chairman as well as recording manager where not like the typical companies where you work and personal matters take to the way side.
Rather the first and foremost ironically within this recording studio, which is much different to those within any assembly of type of company. I had some things, which have been heavy, and it has been a tedious week. Yet, Sandy whom was within the midst of finalizing an album musician out of or from Africa Took a time out to talk with me one a one to one bases. Sandy could see that things had been hard and during all the sessions of which he was within the midst of as it was just a finalization and finishing off of one project – he took the time to talk with myself, as he knew that there was something wrong. I was not the same as I was the last week and he picked up on that very fast.
We had a discussion and thereafter recommended that I see the owner – most times when you start something personal areas are not one that you make any mention of yet from Sandy whom is the recording manager – I went within the afternoon to see David.
David is different a good different at that. I have never seen the likes of a person, which has so much and does so much with that humanistic manner to him. I had to travel across town, which is a lengthy drive as that is where the visual studio was and as soon as I arrived David was receptive. Not within that corporate manner but within the likes of what I have never seen done.
The discussions of which I had with this David were that of an entirely different kind than the average company – mind you this is more within the arts. I spoke with Dave for a good hour as he did wish to know what all was happening within my own personal life and it truly amazed me that I didn’t loose my job as he knew all too well that I have been tending with family as well as adopting. I have never come across anyone within any area of which I worked that wished to see that your well being is well first rather than what all you produce. I guess that is what renders longevity within any form of company. So often the company of this Puls Works Audio (and Visual) is has had a formation that all that work within are like family. Today I am so glad that it’s the weekend yet I can’t tell you how great it is when you have those of which you work for – which do care and are there for not just getting things produced – but ensuring that your doing well on the personal end. That to me raises the bar so higher as these people whom I work with are truly coming to be like family. As today was the first of it’s kind. There are a few other studios, which only have one, but this is a large place – but neither the place nor the instruments are better than the people of which work within it all. There is certainly something to be said for that.
I would have never thought this would even be a consideration as it was of a personal side with family and I feel I am within the midst of exceptional people with music but an exceptional owner as well as staff, which are like family. I would have never in my life even thought this would be part of the package – yet it is. Within all the places of which I have worked within my life I have never come across people such as these people.
It's amazing how humanity and good folk and within this a great owner as well as one within his staff which is a tremendous recording manager along with those which are within this entire ensemble are not just about the money - but more so about humanity. I found a musical family of which I never thought would come to aid or listen or care when there were some things which were very heavy. That does stand for something and it's not all within the money which matters first - it may very well be a second and first come those which have been accepted within not due to just what they CAN DO but for that of WHOM THEY ARE.
At the end of the day when the lights are already off, it's who we are as individuals that we will see and that same with our circle of friends. Money is secondary althou' we need to have some of it, yet still it's the kindered pure heart that we will look into in times of aloneness.
ReplyDeletehugging you tight.
Things are good I don't get on here as earlier as before but I do work with some exceptional people - I never have come across people like this......but I am not alone. I have 7 messages on the telephone waiting but they can wait till tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are in the right place at the right time. Most new jobs require one's full attention and ignore personal needs. When I was offered an absolutely perfect job, I had to tell the VP in the interview that if it was offered, I would need the second week off to attend a family event that had been planned and paid for months before. As you found this week, there are companies that appreciate their employee's needs and family commitments. That is a blessing, isn't it, Jack?
ReplyDeletecan i have a good laugh on that ... :)
ReplyDeleteI am and it is especially when you do have emails which come in like this as I can't mention the name but Grammy it is.
ReplyDeleteThis was from another business person of which I recieved when I arrived home today. He is up there and probably is up and coming
yet it's within the manner. There are different people but this examplifies one of many of which I talk to at work as well as yes we
do live within a email space on the internet but this person is going to go very very far. It's within his ethics and values.
"Hey Jack,
Great talking to you today and it will definitely be fun working together in the future.
I gave David a call today and left a message on his voicemail just like you asked, if he still needs help with his website my team and I would be happy to assist him.Also, my sincere condolences to your father, he sounds like a fighter and I wish him all the best in his recovery
Take care Jack and talk soon,
Cheers,"
no name as I am private and this was not from a blog....
Laugh on what? My father is facing his last Maritess.
ReplyDeleteOh God ... i missed that, am so sorry Jack.
ReplyDeleteThese were the words that made me say that, in jest -
" I have 7 messages on the telephone waiting but they can wait till tomorrow. :)"
Pardon, with all honesty, Jack

ReplyDeleteof which does and shall take you to a time where you look back and say " I did that".
And even now. Thus let it be and be alive.
:)
ReplyDeleteVery retro yet I have yet to see a remake of one very good song.
ReplyDeleteI remember this song from wayback Jack. An inspiring song, there's something in it.
ReplyDeleteAgain I don't know why someone has not done a remake as the lyrics just are applicable.

ReplyDeleteLyrically I love it.

ReplyDeleteGood luck to you .
Sheree I don't know you much but yeah you read it and I am glad to be with
ReplyDeletethese guys and a few gals with work. Life is not easy and I do the very best
with all things at hand. I think I come across other that really whom I am and
I wish it could be different but my folks are very ill and that is hard - regardless
of how high one keeps thier head up. I do honestly thank you Sheree.
I don't need the profits what I do need are the benefits of good people as such are these.
When one does take the time to read what I wrote - I do.
Yeah music is most enjoyable and it's my vice to enjoy music right now Maritess - my folks are not well.
ReplyDeleteMusic tends to be a healer.
And no I am not way down - I just know or somehow enjoy this within an area of which I have done and am
recently doing again.
..................One was a great song the merits within the lyrics.
i could only offer a warmth hugs to your mom and dad, please do it for me Jack. And a silent loving words offered to God Almighty.
