Occupational Hazards

I've always wondered how movie directors ever enjoy watching a movie anymore. They will start to disect every part of it til it cannot be watched as a whole anymore. Photographers have it bad too. The moment my colleague who's in charge of text calls me and tells me that the Ministry is going to announce GDP numbers which means he's about to do an economy story, my radars go on alert. I become sensitive to every construction going on... man scaling building, man washing the facade of the building, with singapore financial district in the background... something which shows growth and development which can reflect the country's growing economy... Or not. I find myself milking every situation i can find because there's only so many ways you can illustrate GDP figures. It's painful and almost funny in a pathetic way.
