    a thought for today i’m certain that my current work life needs no further elaboration. (if i’m sick of hearing about myself, i can only imagine how erehwyna readers feel.) with one deadline down (the cover of yesterday’s chicago tribune was quite a way to cap it off) and one to go (2/8), it’s been a slog. but the other work related saga has fallen on my sweet, talented sister. the story is so epically, tragically, amazingly bad, we’d need a long evening and many cases of wine to fully parse it out. so it was no surprise but still timely when our mother emailed this gem to us this AM. in order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: they must be fit for it, they must not do too much of it, and they must have a sense of success in it. - (the always relevant) john ruskin (1819 - 1900) truer words were never spoken. then or now.

    a thought for today

    i’m certain that my current work life needs no further elaboration. (if i’m sick of hearing about myself, i can only imagine how erehwyna readers feel.) with one deadline down (the cover of yesterday’s chicago tribune was quite a way to cap it off) and one to go (2/8), it’s been a slog.

    but the other work related saga has fallen on my sweet, talented sister. the story is so epically, tragically, amazingly bad, we’d need a long evening and many cases of wine to fully parse it out.

    so it was no surprise but still timely when our mother emailed this gem to us this AM.

    truer words were never spoken. then or now.
