A few more things

The paper sucks. No two ways about it.

I know I've should have seen it coming, but damn I can't believe how spot-on I was on with that prediction. And while I loved that fucking place and gave it over a year of my time, sleep, patience and sanity, I still miss it. I know I was right to walk away though. I would have killed those bitches a dozen times over by bashing their heads into the keyboard otherwise.

No, it was never about having a power trip and yelling at people (although having minions is quite nice). It was never about that. It sounds stupid, but I felt like I was doing something meaningful with all the work I put in. Sure, I bitched about the insane hours and the workload, but damn if it wasn't all for something, like showing a class basic news writing structure or telling them to dig deeper by giving them questions to think about. I live for this. And after walking away from it all, it amazes me how quickly the whole thing just went down the shitter.

So much for a competent replacement. She's such a retard.

I'm comforted by the fact that I'm not the only one who thinks so.

*sigh*

Aside from that particular nostalgia, I feel kind of bad. I was trying to help a friend find a job. I was hoping she'd take over my spot once I graduated, but it seems like my boss has another idea regarding that. And now my friend is suspicious of my current coworker and it all feels like my fault.

The guilty conscience strikes again.

Again, I'll just have to wait and see.
