So what's up with your clawfish door do you have it on yet?

No, it's like it's eternal it came it was damaged

they had to come pick it up they had to send me a new one

now it has to be stained. It's like,

someday, Liz, by the summer. You will have a door. Yeah. about how to be happier, healthier, saner, more creative, more successful, and more productive,

and a back-biting, superficial, chaotic, unpredictable, fundamentally insane world.

I'm Liz Kraft, a TV writer and producer living in LA and with me is my high school

friend and writing partner Sarah. That's me, Sarah Fain. On this podcast we talk about

being writers in Hollywood, how we balance a career and friendship

and how to survive the war of attrition that is life in Los Angeles.

Today we're going to talk about boundaries, professional ones. We actually set one recently and it felt great.

Then and take a hike, Liz has big news. She finally did something she has been putting

off. And we'll answer a mailroom question about

being positive even when things kind of suck. This week's Hollywood hack will

encourage you to read more and finally Sarah has a magazine recommendation.

But first Sarah we have an update.

Yes, I wanted to share something that happened at the shelter recently.

I volunteer at the animal shelter and I was doing laundry in the laundry room and usually

like people come through but really nobody from the vet's office comes in and as

I'm like transferring towels from the washer to the dryer, somebody from the vet's office comes in and he stands there and he like really studied the towels and the blankets, like it really mattered, you know, like which one he got.

I was like, what's going on?

And he picked one and he walked out and I was like, okay, well that was interesting, whatever.
