so instead, i shall show you all this clever cartoon which hits home for a girl who’s written more than her share of weather stories, courtesy of Nataile Dee.
Read more “i can’t write about what i want to write about. ug.”
hmm. should i write about this?
don’t think i didn’t see it coming. i mean for real, I saw it coming from like six months out. but holy man. when it actually happens. when you actually get a pay cut.
wow.
it hurts.
im not even sure how appropriate it is to be broadcasting this online, but seeing as some of my fellow reporters were nice enough to include the info on their facebook statuses, i figured – what the heck? everyone knows. the jig is up. newspapers are dying.
there. i said it. i am in a dying industry.
and i have spent the last umpteen years working my little behind off to be the very best i can be at this job. and for what? so they can cut my hours and eliminate their contribution to my 401k?
don’t worry. i’ll still be my dandy, chipper, hardworking self at work. i’ll still do my best in the time allotted to me. because im not the type to ever to stop giving it my all.
but in my soul of souls. in my heart of hearts. i know now. i get it.
i can’t stay in this field much longer.
i just can’t.
driven to eating a hostess.
i want to write a steller entry on how when people are weak, they do stupid things they wouldn’t otherwise do. like today, when i ate a hostess cupcake because i was sick and i felt like someone had hit me over the nape of my neck with a steel shovel and so i wanted some darn comfort food. I ate the cupcake even though i knew it had lard in it, which im technically not supposed to eat seeing as how im a vegetarian and whatnow. and also, i didn’t work out because i was tired, and i called a super, bad ex because i was sad.
but im too tired. and sick and sad to write anything clever.
so instead im going to leave you with a little trivia i recently taught my sister. she was so impressed with it that she shared it with her class. (now if only i could get her to do that with my blog. hmmm.)
anywho, here’s the trivia. the following sentence contains every single letter of the alphabet. go ahead. check.
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.
there you have it. you learn something new every day. and to be fair, my sixth grade teacher mrs. mach totally taught that to me. so it’s not like i just came up with it on my own. feel free to share it with friends though. and if you want, you also could mention that you saw it on my blog. my super awesome, funny blog.
just sayin.
