Just win the damn lottery! Oh yeah, I don't play except maybe once every six months...but still why can't I win!!!
If I won, I'd pay off all my debt, own my jeep, quit my job, and open up a photography place that sold prints. I'd have the walls covered with all my different photos framed (and I'd actually have the time to take more photos to get them printed and framed to hang up on my walls!).
I wouldn't care if I didn't sell a print all week because I would buy the building (it would be a rather large building) and put my part in a small corner of the building and the rest rent out to someone else!

OH the drama. lol some day, whether I win the lottery, or find another means of making some secondary, supplementary income (ie. get good at photography).

I go through this thought process every day I have to go to work. I told my boss if I win the lottery I would send her a SASE so she could mail me my things since I wouldn't be returning! Yes, I honestly told her that. I've mentioned to a few people there how I would just love to win the lottery so I could stop working and spend my life traveling and taking pictures. Two weeks ago I received a piece of mail at work. The envelope was from a furniture store in Virginia and was postmarked in Rochester, NY. I live in upstate NY so it was mailed from this area. Inside the envelope was one page from a magazine or something and a paragraph was highlighted. It some something like, "People who have won the lottery say that they are no happier now than before they won." (I think I'd be the exception!) I still don't know who mailed it. I think it's one of three people at work but I'm playing it low and analyzing handwriting. :-)
I hope we win some day!

If these people just up and quit their jobs, didn't do anything exciting or have any real hobbies, then I can see that being the case. I don't see how I could not be any happier doing photography as my full-time job, not worrying whether or not I sold a print or not (because I'd already have enough money), just trying to see the smiles on people's faces who came in to buy the prints.
Well, I'm not sure if I'd call it happiness, but it would definately be a less-stressful environment for me.
OK, it's Monday -- enough dreaming, back to work!!! Everyone return to this thread come Friday :-)
