Andy Parker sent us this, seems relevant with the last post......and draws us back to Ruskin. Funny how though in the copying of the doc he ended up with a black border, like the black bordered sheet in the press - a reference to death, or to mourning, so in fact it becomes a document that declares Happiness in Work is dead? It made me think that when we appear to moan about our work it is really self criticism and reflection. So your list is right and confirms we will always be a bit sad and sorry. Ruskin said it better perhaps: To be Happy it is necessary that he should not only be capable of his work but a good judge of his work....
