But that newspaper is part of a bigger regional publishing company, so I do a lot of side shit like newsroom training, creating internship plans serving on the editorial board and being a pain in everyone’s ass.
I’m almost never not working and I make less than I did with the accounting gig, but I’m happier because I’m better at this than I was at that.
Still... probably time to move on soon.
