Can I fetch you a cup of coffee? Can i grab those papers from the fax machine? Can i answer that frickin' phone call? CAN I PLEASE DO SOMETHING FOR GOD'S SAKE!
So yeah, that sums up my first two days at the Tribune. Days in which i "observe" the person who lays out the scoreboard page. There's only so much observing of a dude clicking a mouse that any one person can handle. Especially when he barely explains anything that he's doing. I reached that limit today. So i left around 9:30, instead of 11-12:30. But that's ok. Tomorrow's when things become more hands on, and that should finally get interesting. It just so happens that my hands-on training is at the same time as Game 7. Garrr. Yes, i just said Garr. And i'm not a pirate. I'm a Daniel.
By the way, it's not fun when a wheel falls off of your wheelchair while you're riding in it. Believe me. Bon voyage!
P.S. Carol...Northwestern basketball DOES NOT SUCK. So i don't blame you for hating that dude.
