Re: For Jo - off topic and on Carly and Steely

[Guest guest]

Awww... You don't like Carly? I thought she was like Sara Lee --

Nobody doesn't like Car-rr-lee! And you don't like Steely Dan,

either? Sigh. Guess I'll just have to bring my earphones.

You should sit next to my podmate at work. We don't have muzak, thank

Heavens, but she sings, all day long. Often in the harmonic part for

her church choir. (You haven't lived until you've heard Christmas

carols done in one harmonic part!) And when she's not singing, she

reads aloud to herself every headline she writes....

Yep. I brought my earphones.

Headlines huh? Journalist?

I'm in the niche, but makes me wonder, do you work for a religious

org, bec singing " inspirational " music at the desk can be considered

infringement on personal religious rights...JO

And mind you, I LOVE music--99% of all,less hard core country, rap

and deathmetal...but once you beat something to death, it's time to

flip the tape, smash the cd and melt the LP

Nope. I work for a plain old daily newspaper, circ. about 100,000.

I've never made a stink about it, although I did ask for some relief

from it once. I didn't get it. Oh well.

I remember a feller who worked for one of those big city papers --

I'm thinking it was the NYTimes, coming to our newsroom to do some

research on something or other. We installed him in a little cubicle,

in which some folks were assigned to watch the local TV news. The

watchers apologized profusely, but the guy was unflappable, and

answered, " If I can't work with a little noise nearby, I'm not much

of a journalist. " So, following his lead (no, he was not Jayson

Blair) I have subsided, and try to concentrate more on keeping my own

nose clean...

Hey Cammie,

I work for a daily newspaper also, but I work on the other side of the paper

-where I am at right now- prepress!

Ah -- so YOU'RE one of those folks who loses my pictures, or files

them under another name! Just kidding. Those folks can really bail us

out when we need them. (I'm old fashioned enough that I still refer

to them as the Engraving Department. I reckon that dates me...)
