I didn't mind them; some I even enjoyed, but then looking back, I kept adding something a wee bit creative to my job, thus overloading my job description and then became overwhelmed. <BR/><BR/>I do wish I could make enough to scrimp and save and still live on, but I'm afraid I've been mooching off of Ben for 8 years now!

My last office job was the very worst and I committed myself to never having to do it again. In the long run it wasn't easy at all, because I hated everything about it including the person I felt I had to be in order to make myself do it.<BR/>Yeah, making and selling art is a challenge. But I'd rather be doing this now, and scraping by, than having more money in the bank, living for the weekends, hating Sundays because I had to go back to work the next day, being unfathomably bored day in and day despite getting the job done.<BR/>No, it wasn't easy.Cate Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079028386218370915noreply@blogger.com
