005; these are the eyes of disarray
It's been a real hell of a week.
I don't know if it was some huge mistake or just really cruel irony that left me assigned to interviewing Manny Santos for The Core this week. Judging on how the interview went, I'm guessing it's because no one else on staff could bring themselves to sit through hell on earth. Honestly. I just wanted to do the damn interview and get out of there, write some vapid article and not have to think about it anymore. But then shows up all late and washe s her normal, blood-curdling bitchy self about it.. she knows how to push my buttons. It just went downhill from there.
Bad interviews lead to unpleasant articles, which shouldn't surprise anyone. Craig's mad as hell. Wanted to know why I had to be so harsh. What am I supposed to say to him? "I'm sorry, I was mean to your stupid girlfriend because I'm mad she's monopolizing all of your time and I hate it"? No. Because I don't care who he spends his time with, it's his life.
And apparently when you're a rising star, unpleasant articles lead to court summons. I'm being sued. The Core is being sued. It's all completely ridiculous and unnecessary. And could have been completely avoided if Jesse just hadn't published the damn thing like he said he wouldn't. I know he was just being Jesse. Doing what would make me happy. That's what he always does. Now all of our asses, and the paper's reputation are on the line. And it's all my fault.
I'm not going to apologize. She can take me to court for all I'm worth (which isn't much). My dad knows some really great lawyers. None of this would be a big deal if Jesse's degree wasn't on the line for it. If there's one thing I'm sorry for, it's the fact that he's involved.
So, you know, if you want a piece of local history in the making, I'm sure I could snag anybody a copy of the paper who wants one.
