Can't afford anything, but love looking at it.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387898352584525777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-85693670257346884082010-09-01T10:27:18.981-05:002010-09-01T10:27:18.981-05:00Yes, but so many of the products that Americans co...Yes, but so many of the products that Americans come into contact with these days were made for nothing in some faraway place. We've been conditioned to see only the object, not the maker. Someone was in our shop this morning, actually, berating us for charging a dollar for a bottle of water with a custom label on it. He only saw a 13-cent bottle and a 2-cent label. He didn't see the time it took to design the label, print the label, and put it on the bottle. I guess the reason I feel so bad about my work is because I let people like that get into my head.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541482926410678984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-8217240956821858572010-09-01T10:06:36.367-05:002010-09-01T10:06:36.367-05:00You're providing a service or product for whic...You're providing a service or product for which there is a certain demand, and you spent your time doing it. You should absolutely be paid for it, even if you enjoy the process. It sounds pretty bad to think that only suffering has a cash value!PhilAreGo@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719815455502184849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-36201548503061572542010-09-01T10:01:55.185-05:002010-09-01T10:01:55.185-05:00I was just telling someone yesterday that it feels...I was just telling someone yesterday that it feels like cheating, somehow, to take money for something I would have done anyway. I worry sometimes that the work I do to pay the bills isn't important enough. From now on I'm going to remember the Sistine Chapel whenever I start thinking that way!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541482926410678984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-31731229092571432992010-09-01T07:48:10.576-05:002010-09-01T07:48:10.576-05:00Heh, nope!
