I want to be comfortable. I cannot completely forgo my ethics for money. Okay, I take that all back. The job I'm working on has me queasy. I am keeping my mouth shut. It pays money. Very little, but for now it will help me to scrape by.I would prefer to not be doing work for these people.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-45988508173058526002010-03-07T16:53:23.849-08:002010-03-07T16:53:23.849-08:00Sorry I didn't see it sooner.

I LIKE doing the art for the sake of art, and sharing what is a gift which was freely given to me.MrCachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380421021822593083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-59039544494110486082010-03-07T12:37:03.194-08:002010-03-07T12:37:03.194-08:00I have to say I agree about the test-taking genera...I have to say I agree about the test-taking generation. In Scotland we are about to introduce a 'Curriculum for Excellence' which will try to recognise more than just academic prowess, we shall see if it is successful. <br /><br />Love the style of the card as well as the sentiment.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854564777269577428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-6676410657577858722010-03-07T09:14:49.073-08:002010-03-07T09:14:49.073-08:00Oh I was in a foul mood yesterday as I began work ...Oh I was in a foul mood yesterday as I began work on a book by someone who worked in the Bush administration. The more I read the more ticked off I got. But it's work. I keep my mouth shut. I started thinking of the "no child..." policy and just get angrier.<br /><br />You know, I have quite a few cards from the same time period where people are just sending cards back and forth in San Francisco. I have wondered if this was being done because it was still so difficult to get around town. But then, by 1915 I think the Exposition was on so it's possible Van Ness was in pretty good shape since it runs down to the Wharf.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-49732420451615874612010-03-07T08:58:09.907-08:002010-03-07T08:58:09.907-08:00So true.

That was a beautiful four years, and then I tried to find a job.<br /><br />Anyway, off on a tangent...<br />This card got me thinking about Miss Anderson's address. Presidio Terrace is a very nice address, but I wonder what Van Ness looked like in 1914. I would assume that with all of the earthquake destruction and demolition it wouldn't have been so wonderful. What do you think?Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.com
