If I had a real job...

... I would be happier about this.

I would be happier because I would not be experiencing the combined frustrations of post-Christmas bank balance blues and a New Years resolution to cut back on my art buying.

And I would be exceptionally happy because I would be battling it out in the ebay auction room (one of my favourite pastimes) to procure more beautiful things to surround myself with. And all with the knowledge that my fantasy salary would be supporting a worthy cause.

As it is, I will lustfully drooling over my monitor and dropping hints that my birthday is coming up soon and as I was overseas for a recent milestone birthday, perhaps someone... anyone... might feel the right combination of guilt and generosity and BUY ME THIS...
