It's all in your perspective. Or some such 'wisdom'..

"Ain't that the umpteenth corollary of the 'starving artist' axiom?" Nope. It's a reflection of a changing world. No one needs a secretary anymore, since our computers are better at grammar and spelling than we are. And writing for a living went out of style when writing went out of style, iirc.
Anyone who wants to be an artist should secure his minimal necessities first, and then begin his art. Just don't expect to make money on it, because the only ones who might appreciate it would be other starving artists.
The rule, as always is; find something you're good at, that you like to do, and find someone willing to pay you to do it.

It's simply a case of, "You get what you pay for." It's cheaper to do without secretaries, but the quality of communications output declines dramatically.

It's simply a case of, "You get what you pay for." So does that mean that you are willing to continue in your role of Executive Secretary at your current level of pay?

Lazy mood yesterday. Dang weather had a cold in my nose just felt like something kitty might leave in her box. Pretty much stayed in bed, watched a few episodes of “Shark Tank” on demand I missed, went through a box and a half of Kleenex,
Read a little and my upstairs neighbor brought some really nice Chinese soup back for me- she and her fiancé went out and asked if I wanted anything. There is an incredible Chinese restaurant across the street that only does take out. It was a nice way to end Passover.
I can relate to the kitty. Feline better today but I think it’s because of the wacky weather, people can’t have one day at 70 and the next at 50.
Got a lot of reading here to catch up....

I’m glad you’re improving. Several of us have been, not sick, but not entirely well, either.
The girls are leaving today for a visit to my mother.

people cant have one day at 70 and the next at 50...That's what we've been having here for the last month. After a while, it gets pretty tiresome. Yesterday, it was 54, and today it will be 71. Yo-yo weather.
