If I were the operations manager of a large company, people would come to my place of business on daylight savings morning and the store would still be closed.

If I were an editor the Declaration of Independence would have typos (inkos?)

If I were a diplomat I’d probably accidentally start wars.

I have friends who don’t like art or writing who jump through hoops to avoid this type of work. It’s quite possible to avoid, too.

But I’m an artist. And unfortunately I can’t avoid the “other” type of work – detailed administrative work, diplomatic work, communications, organizing projects, policing other people to do their work.

We all have to do things we don’t like. But nobody should have for a profession that which is so far from their skill set that it messes every day with their mind.
