Email: Sales vs. editorial [AS]

I cannot imagine wanting to shoulder the pressure of monthly magazine ad sales. I need a different level of emotional commitment to my work (hence editorial). I can appreciate the commitment and professionalism of ad sales done well, and it even marginally attracts me; but you need to pick up and put down, and to be utterly practical, to a degree that would be hard for me to maintain over time (unless I adapted -- but I like who I am and what I do).

Meds are like lottery tickets: You don't gain their benefits unless you take a dose. When sick or in pain, yes, meds can be our friends.
