(no subject)
Absolutely worst fucking day in a long time.
First I go in to work and get verbally attacked over the phone by people pissed about an article I wrote, calling me irresponsible, telling me I need to go back to journalism school (too bad I'm already in it) and basically saying that I am a piece of shit. All because some psycho bitch cat lady called the newspaper asking for help for some feral cats. Yeah, so I print something about it and suddenly I am the enemy and get attacked via phone and the internet. Some people left the nastiest comments on the paper's web site going after me.
I am a fucking intern....I DONT KNOW HOW SHIT WORKS YET. THAT'S WHY I AM THERE!!!!
My editor said I did nothing wrong. I spent the whole morning trying to apease the angry people involved, wrote another article from the angry people's perspective and then fucking checked out mentally.
I am a bad person for doing my job without any guidance and any assistance. I have no support system at the paper because everyone is too busy to consult with me and give me tips. And now I will probably be known as "the intern that nearly got the paper sued over cats."
Yep...
So then I lose some money
Then I lose some more money because WSU sends me an email saying they are adjusting my scholarship and so they take away some of it.
And then, just to make it a disaster all around, the wings lose the stanley cup in game 7 by half and inch and I have to see Sidney Crosby hoisting the cup in Joe Louis Arena. All the NBC and NHL people are thrilled. I wanted to throw a bat through the television.
It just doesn't feel worth it, you know. You work your ass off for weeks, doing everything you can to make yourself look good and impress your boss and then in one day it all turns to shit.
Kind of like going 8 months and losing the championship in the final game.
just one massive disappointment. That is where I am at right now.
