Well, that's depressing.

I heard the top five on this list on the radio today. It's Health Magazine's Top Ten most depressing jobs.

Number five on the list: Artists, entertainers, writers.

Nice.

I think my next book will be about a nursing home employee who is working an extra job as a waitress to put herself through school so she can become a teacher. Oh! And, she is writing a book about the experience. I have to say, I don't like her odds.

Seriously, these lists. Please. So nine percent of artistic types reported an episode of major depression last year. So what? The number for the general population is seven percent.

I'll take my chances, thank you very much.
