i love the paper, but i also hate it. everyone else may take it as a joke, but i am completely serious about it. i am tired, really really fucking tired, of all the irresponsibility and laziness found within the rest of the staff.
next semester, i'm setting up strict guideliness, and if people do not follow them, i will be a bitch. and unlike this semester, i will feel no regrets about being a bitch. i do not see how it is difficult in any way to follow a few simple rules, but apparently it's quite a feat indeed.
aside from the articles, i make the entire paper myself. laying out, okay, that's fine, that's my job - i don't mind doing it, i don't want any help. i like it that way. i enjoy laying out. but having to search for people's articles, to edit and format them, to make up stuff to fill up space because people don't write enough (or can't right for shit to begin with), to design ads (and go crazy looking for all the contracts), to find pictures, even taking pictures... this is not what my fucking job entails. i am supposed to take what is given me and make a paper out of it.
what i hate most of all is not getting credit for all my hard work. i do just about everything, literally. being editor is all fine and good, it looks quite nice, but i do so much more than what an editor is supposed to.
i also dislike how Mrs. Jones expects me to do the same assignments as everybody else. why should i be penalized for not writing three articles, when on average i write four, and then do all that extra work? why should i have to do this stupid broadcast thing which is only jeopardizing the completion of the paper? she said to me before, "don't be upset if we don't have a paper this month." well, if we don't get it out in time, i will be upset, especially if it's due to the broadcast project. my broadcast will have to be filmed on Monday, which is when i would like to take the paper to the publisher. so what do i do, take the paper and get a bad grade, or film the broadcast and get really fucking pissed?
i'm really sick of this. i have a plan in mind to lessen my burden, but who knows what Jones will think of it.
