SkyScribe 0 #8 July 3, 2008 Congratulations! It can be difficult for a writer to get a foot in the door (even when not in a cast). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moodyskydiver 0 #9 July 3, 2008 Quote Congratulations! It can be difficult for a writer to get a foot in the door (even when not in a cast). Thanks! I think mostly I'll be doing photography but they did mention some writing requirements when I went by today.But I should know more next week/after the holiday.I'm really hoping they hire me!

moodyskydiver 0 #10 July 4, 2008 Quote my job offer still applies :-) jk I might take you up on that job offer.I'm desperate for $ to go to LP and things here are kinda off...I went by the paper to talk to the woman who called me and she was like "I got your email but I'm trying to meet deadline so I'll just call you after the holiday" very rudely.So now I'm uncertain of how my position stands.

leroydb 0 #11 July 5, 2008 Hey, Knowing what little I know about the "news paper industry," I would not be discouraged at all. There are a zillion "11th hour" things that are occuring before they go to print. If you are lucky you can get the nickname "deadline" for making all yoru suspenses. best of luck sweety.

Leapinglizardto 0 #12 July 5, 2008 hey moodyskydiver, congrats. keep the faith & we'll keep our fingers crossed & you in our prayers. hopefully leroy is right. sorry you you got such a rude response. but it could very well be that it was just due to last minute deadline pressure with the holiday weekend. I'm sure it'll all work out. edited to add. You will get that job come Monday! & I will get that puppy I haven't stopped thing about since you planted that seed in my head, last week. & we'll all be in here Tuesday to congratulate you officially & play name that puppy.

moodyskydiver 0 #13 July 6, 2008 thanks for all the encouraging words.I really appreciate it.(thanks to you too Leroy!*smooch*)I should be hearing from them this next week.I'm hoping the paper's representative was just unaware of how rude she came across and was just stressed to meet deadline and the holiday stuff going on yadda yadda...So I've got my fingers crossed too that I'll be hearing good news!Right now I'm just going to concentrate on getting psyched up for my flight to Cali to meet up with Nightingale and our road trip to Lost Prairie!*happy dance*now go get that puppy!

moodyskydiver 0 #14 August 22, 2008 Ok, so I'm not using my crutches anymore (eventhough I probably should be) and I'm back from LP.School starts on Monday.BUT the woman I talked to about a job at the paper finally called back! She wants to talk with me ASAP on Monday b/c they're really needing someone who can write and be a photographer which I think I can do,its just a matter of balancing it with my school schedule.I only have 4 more classes to take to graduate in December and I dont want to fuck it up now and fail a class. So, I've been a bit discouraged b/c its taken them a while to get in touch with me about the job but it looks like I'm still in the running for the position.I'll know more on Monday.Keep your fingers crossed everyone!Thanks for all the positive vibes too!
