Me: I really need more help. Work: How about a raise? Me: No. More money isn't going to give me more time in the day. Work: Oh... okay. 😐😐😐 #work #didtheythinkiwaslying #museumprofessional #glamprofessional #galleryprofessional

Why is that when you're on vacation, people generally leave you alone vs. you're changing work locations and they act like you're dying and you'll never work again? #remotework #galleryprofessional
