About me:
i'm the entertainment writer at the regional newspaper for southeast arkansas because starving artist got old and getting paid to be mean is fun. in another year, i get to move to a better paper in a place where people can read. i was once voluntarily homeless in chicago. as a result, i have more street cred than you. i've been an amateur filmmaker, and pending the purchase of a new camera, i'll do that some more.
my owner rocks your face off, so don't even.

i'm at work, sitting at my desk — sitting straight up. i just opened my eyes from what i thought was a blink and realized i can't remember what i did for the last 10 minutes. i was on total autopilot for that long. i need to go home and sleep.

talking to my editor is giving me anger management issues. at least once a day this week i've wanted to break things. the man is a mongoloid.

i just spent my free time at work tonight watching pumpkins videos instead of writing. i redesigned the logo for the new entertainment/lifestyle news weekly, though.

i was just looking at angryjournalist.com. i'm not saying this is definitely written by someone in my newsroom, but it really sounds like the place where i work. right down to the mongoloid editor and piece of crap web site. Angry Journalist #865: I’m angry because I got a “Dear Employee” letter this year from company headquarters saying last year was bad, and while they think this year will be better, we should keep our fingers crossed. And in the meantime, they really value ‘the quality of the work I’ve done” — even though they don’t acknowledge knowing my name, my job title, or the kind of work I do for them. I’m angry because my city editor’s eyes glaze over when I tell her about any hard news story I am working on and that even though I’m close to finishing a several month-long investigative piece she wants the priority to be filling an advertising tab with fluff. I’m angry because she makes absolutely no decisions on anything, and watches the tv as often as possible. I’m angry because there are no conversations in the newsroom about quality — but plenty about quantity of bylines. And because an editor just read all the studies that say that writing shorter is the key to retaining readers and because of that, at the first pitch of a story, he asks if eveything can be separated into three-part series. I’m angry that our Web site is controlled by the advertising department and that no one in a leadership position understands the thing called the Internet. And lastly, I’m angry because our newspaper is dying and our leaders are more concerned with rules that say we can’t wear jeans to work, eat at our desks or tape anything on the file cabinets.
