 away. He's out of town. He's out of town on vacation maybe. Those of you who are back, I'm Susie Lee Parks, this is Watch Me Work. Watch Me Work. Watch Me Work is, I'm reading from my notes, Watch Me Work is two things, well three things really. Watch Me Work is two things. Because Watch Me Work is actually about things. So that's the number one to remember. It's about you. So we're going to be focusing on you and your work today. Watch Me Work is a play. It's the play in case you couldn't tell by the snake here. First we do the action which is we work for 45 minutes and we do the dialogue in which we talk about your work and your creative process based on the questions that you'll ask me and the group. And Watch Me Work is also a meta-theatrical play. It's just like Shakespeare in the park, except it's not Shakespeare and it's not in the park. But it is free. It is free. So what we're going to do is also we're streaming online so we've got people watching online that tweet in and they tweet us questions also. What we're going to do is we're going to work for 45 minutes and then we're going to talk about your work and your creative process. I have a story. I never tell stories but I know a story because it happened right upstairs about five hours ago. A true story. I come into work in my office at around 10 a.m. and so this morning there were a whole bunch of guys in my office working and they had dust all over them and they had the walls were being taken apart in my office and I said, because I'm on a very tight schedule. I can only have a certain amount of time that I can get in. If I work and take myself, they carry all these things. So I said, what's going on? And they said, man, we're fixing the air conditioning. And I was like, oh no, why did you tell me? I ran around the corner to my friend, assistant Jesse Alex's office and I wrote him a post because he wasn't at his desk. I said, I need to know when they're going to be in my office. I was very upset because I couldn't get my work done. And then I sat down at his desk and I took a breath and I stood up and I said, oh, here's an opportunity to practice my powers of focus and concentration. Number one. Number two, how wonderful it is that the coolness, because they're fixing the air conditioning, the coolness of the building is determined by what goes on in my office. So I ran around the corner. I took out my typewriter and as they worked all around me, banging, clicking and plaster falling, I started working. And it was really fun. It was really fun. And they were done, you know, in 20 minutes they were finished and I found my way working. So it's a really fun thing to happen just this morning. You know, I didn't have my freak out though. I didn't have my freak out. So with that in mind, these people in the lobby, you know, they got this vibe. They're going to be talking and stuff while we're working. So we're going to work for 45 minutes and then we're going to talk about your work and your creative process. Okay, we'll start right now and then I'll just unpack what I have. Forty-five. Oh, so you're definitely going to be doing that right now. Right, you got it on? Yep. All right, the work session begins now.
