*kills self*

So I accomplished something. Yeah, a newspaper was published today and I’m sort of credited as the Design Editor. You’d think I’d feel more proud, but all I feel is stress. That’s not right. I’ll have to learn to delegate and manage my time. So I think I’ll eat a grape today.
But first,
Allow me to introduce the cast of characters at the local newspaper:

“Equals:”

Autumn S. = Editor-in-chief, refuses to publish name “Pixel Q. Styx” yet goes by her middle name “Paige.” The irony never fails to amuse.
Jayna B. = News Editor, is responsible for Gabe the Beaver being published

Claire D’M. = Arts Editor, edits arts section.

Lance C. = Sports Editor, probably edits the sports section, or something…

Yoshi B. = Photo Editor, wants me to come to him to see which photos shall run, as a favor.

Bekkah B. = Copy Editor, edits copy. Offered to edit ads early on so we don’t have a repeat of yesterday’s fiasco.

Marcie B. = Advertising Manager, has my personal line, in charge of making my life complicated, Laura’s friend.

“Employees:”

Laura W. = Believes she should have gotten my job. Does the fun and hard work and treats me like an underling because I let her (and I figure: hell, I don’t want to do extra work!)

Nick T. = Graphic Designer with own schedule.

Katy V. V. = New Graphic Designer who thinks she can have her own schedule.

“Other Kool Kats:”

Jonathan Butz: ‘Real‘ last name is Butz. Amusing writer/radio DJ.

Becky C.: Known her since 2000, but never really spoken. Hm.

Sarah Stoltzfus: Has a last name with four consonants in a row (count ‘em). Very strong e-mail password if you’re ever in need (according to gmail).

Whitney: Is pregnant.

Jeff Hand: Walks around suggesting things. Actual job as much a mystery as his new moustache.

… the word moustache almost looks like the word pistachio, but only for five letters…

Last Year: Is there a crisis?, Yey! and Pop-Ups
