<p>This week I got a surprise call from a former co-worker who I would always commiserate with about what freaking idiots we worked with, and how we were always going find a way out of the prison that we worked at. I couldn&#8217;t get out of the job, because I didn&#8217;t think I had any skills other than the ones I had for that job. She couldn&#8217;t get out because of health problems and other such things. Well, a few years ago, I finally took a flying leap and decided to go back to school and move far away.</p>



<p>She finally found her way out because, a doctor screwed up her hip really bad and she got some money in a settlement, so she was finally able to break out of the prison. When I told her about my blog, she was one of the biggest supporters and she read it every week and told me how bad it was and how I needed to change it completely or people would never follow it. I, of course, ignored her and it became a success on such a microscopic level that she totally had egg on her face. I would remind her every day how I was living the high life and her blog had so many less followers because hers was some stupid photo blog that only had &#8220;artistic followers&#8221;. </p>



<p>She told me that she had entered her photos in several regional and national contests and had even won some contests. I was like, &#8220;Oh congrats! How much money did you win?&#8221; and she said, &#8220;No money was involved. It was just for the artistic value.&#8221; </p>



<p>I rolled my eyes and laughed. I asked her, &#8220;Why would you ever do anything creative if it wasn&#8217;t to make a ton of money.&#8221;  She groaned and said, &#8220;Why would I sell out like that?&#8221; </p>



<p>Selling out is the only reason I do anything. If I ever have a chance to sell anything I do for money, you can bet that I will sell it. </p>



<p>At the end of the call, I was telling her that she had stopped reading my blog and she was like, excuse me, I still read your blog every week. And then she told me that lately it was lack something. It is a little off. She said, hmmm, it isn&#8217;t funny anymore. Of course I said it was never meant to be funny, just a blog about the bitterness of everything. But just for her sake, I will make this weeks blog funny. </p>
