Simply put quote from my husband (of which I will share more) - he's good with them-there words. There are many implications as to what such a statement could mean, but today I need this reminder to decide whether dealing with a thorn in my side is making time or killing time.
When Peanutman was little, we always told him, "There's no right or wrong way. There's a long way and a short way. Figure it out." Each situation will determine which 'way' is a better choice b/c the criteria for judgment will always vary.
In this situ, I took a short-cut that will cost me $250 and a lot of time & aggravation in continuing to pursue it. Aaaaah. My learning curve just reported in that sometimes taking the long way in the first place is better - to avoid a bunch of short ways that add-up to double the long way when all is said and done. Well, dear learning curve, should I have left well enough alone after the short-cut proved to be a dead-end? But then I might not now that the final-final result would be unsatisfactory. I guess the only lesson here is to know for the next time that the long way will be the best route. For frick's sake, it sure is maddening though when you don't have total control of the steering wheel and your own learning curve is too far off in the distance to ask directions!!

The iconic "We Can Do It!" poster, which is the foundation of my digital collage, was painted in 1942 by J. Howard Miller. He was employed by Westinghouse and was asked to create a poster for the War Production Coordinating Committee (to propagandize the idea of women in the workforce). It's often mistakenly called "Rosie the Riveter" - which is a different painting done by Norman Rockwell for the Saturday Morning Post. There were a lot of Rosies painted, photographed and pictorialized to promote women working for the war effort.
