Out of the people that ever were, almost all of them are dead.
There are way more dead people, and you're all gonna die
and then you're gonna be dead for way longer than you're alive.

You could make money giving mask-making lessons, that's for sure!

Way cool hades.
I love being able to see the process and how people work.
Deadlines stress me out so much, but your commentary gives a method for dealing with that.

Thank you, it was very interesting.

Deadlines stress me out too. But without them I can procrastinate forever. Part of why theatre's been a pretty good fit for me is that there are constant deadlines forcing me to get moving and manage my time. But it can be rough.

Switch "theater" to "project work" (research, software development, anything documentation related, even studying) and that^^ could be my text.

Balancing the deadline pressures with family life is a big part of the "rough" for me. Especially now that I (finally! - at least until September) have enough work. It seems I either have too little time or too little money, like it is really hard to find a good balance (or maybe the balanced area is very small compared to the areas that are more or less out of balance).
"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

Boy howdy. If I could get a gig like this once a month, I'd be pretty happy. But it usually doesn't work out like that-- just the right amount of work, all evenly spaced.

Now you can take bids for that little shindig they have down in Ororu!
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Until 5 mins ago I was really proud of the masks I had made for my kids. (Cornflage packet... string... *blush*)

You should still be proud! Doing crafts with your kids is good stuff.

And thanks! :shiver:
