I just sent in my resume for the journalist position. A couple of push-factors led to that.
1. No harm trying syndrome.
2. The draw of news reporting.
3. The boss came out of her “office” to discuss with us the future of the magazine. Let’s just say, she’s not a focused person, and in my very humble opinion, she’s taking us down a long long long winding path with many dead-ends.
4. My colleague is full of bull-shit. He just spouted a lot of bull-shit during the “meeting”. And the fact that my boss swallowed everything, hook, line, sinker, fisherman and boots is testament to her lack of focus. Oh, she also agreed with everything I said, which was directly opposite of my colleague. See, no focus.
5. The detriments of writing for a kids magazine. See, I keep making lists. This is like the third post with a list. Because when writing for kids, things have to usually be in point-form.
