In reply to the discussion: Weekend Economists Ask: "What Were They Thinking?" March 16-18, 2012 [View all]Tansy_Gold
(17,854 posts)75. Sunday morning, pouring buckets of (muchly needed) rain
Pizza at the Fatman's last night, and one of the waitresses bought a ring right off my hand. Then came home to find I'd received a message from someone who visited my Etsy store and wants to know if I can send Angel Feathers to Australia.
This particular week-end economist is trying to figure out how I can (afford to) quit my (pathetically low-paying) day job and put that time to use on my other stuff. I know I will never be able to afford to retire like most of my acquaintances or even my parents and grandparents, but if I'm going to have to work for the rest of my life I would like to be able to do it at something from which I derive at least some enjoyment.

You're busted, Demeter. So busy posting, you take too little time to read the SMW, even.
