    Nah. I have only one regret.
    She was blonde. The other was Patron Silver. I chose the latter.

    98% of the problems facing the industry are the doing of the shitheads signing the paychecks and filling out the EOM statements.

    Such as hiring a young guy, and then 89 days later, sending his ass out the door.

    Either a) they knew when they hired him they were probably going to have to whack him, so the whole episode was just a festival of complete cynicism (they probably got their giggles looking out into the newsroom, seeing him busting ass, and knowing they were still going to whack him in a matter of weeks), or b), they DIDN'T know when they hired him they were probably going to have to whack him, which means the people doing the hiring and firing are complete fucking imbeciles.

    Either way, the most effective remedy is probably a 2x4 right across the back of the head.

    I am kind of lucky.

    The night that I got cut, I went straight home and sent out an email to my old rag, the Elk Grove Citizen, a small twice-weekly right outside of Sacramento. I got my old spot back, as a stringer. Better than nothing, and it'll keep me sharp.
