Posting is real easy to take the wrong way and best to take the right way
(that is give the person the benefit of the doubt that they meant no harm).
I prefer to think the poster meant that she was going to get her ass in gear
and do something productive rather than find that the day had slipped away
while futzing on the idiot machine (I make my living writing software,
running programs etc. so my paying job is the computer and I still find that
I can lose a day of "work" having been caught up in browsing, netshopping
(as opposed to the window shopping those of my generation used to do), etc.
I chose to think they did not mean offense but I did think that they too
easily took offense... but then don't we all at one time or another... DK

my tone is not meant to be lecturing but that of musing...

Since you are a newbie, maybe you should stick around for a while
before making such critical comments.


Regarding not making enough money out of pottery - well you get what you
put
into it.. It's the same in any self-run business.

are you really, honestly, making your living from the "self-run
business" of pottery, wheelthrown? No other job, no partner, husband,
who earns money from a normal job? If so, i am sure there are many
people in this group who would like to know more about it.


I'm going to get back to my wheel now and do some 'work' instead of being
stuck in front of the computer all day!

This is a very arrogant statement, implying that all of us spend our
time in front of the computer instead of doing "work". Most of us in
this group don't talk like that to one another.
