28 June 2006

They like me. They really like me. [More:] I'm going to be embarrassed later that I posted this, but I just wanted to crow for a minute because something good happened.

This local magazine called me out of the blue last month and asked me to write an article for them. I think they must be desparate for writers, because they literally found my resume in the bottom of a drawer (I applied for a job there over a year ago) and based on that bottom-drawer resume, they offered me their cover story.

Well, that one's done and has gone to press, and they just called and asked me to write next month's cover story.

Like I said, I'm aware that they must be pretty hard-up. But still, I was flattered. I needed something good to happen.

Thanks for letting me be all self-centered and share-y.
Way to go, pup!

Wooooo hooooooo!

You totally deserve it. Based on your Susan Polk trial coverage, I'd hire you to write cover stories any day. Were I in a position to do so. Which I'm not.

Man, I miss being able to hire friends to write articles for me.

Thanks, y'all.

There's no link, unfortunately (or fortunately, as the case may be). This journal extorts $250 for subscriptions from local businesses. Consequently, they don't put their stuff online.
