Just a bump. We are still looking at candidates.

 

Every time I see an opening in Knoxville, I always hope it's a writing gig. As always, no luck.

 

Of course you could always learn design. Problem solved.

 

That might be the problem in itself.

 

DyePack, is that you?

 

Bump. Any news? Heard they had narrowed this down to a couple folks. Is Scripps' hiring freeze still active?

 

Yes.

 

We have been told the position will be open in February. Yes, there is a hiring freeze, but positions can be filled on a need basis. We're just waiting in line like the planes at Hartsfield. I think management believes there's less work in sports when football season is over.

Saying a design position can be filled on a need basis is like saying the world can fill its latest Britney Spears offspring position on a need basis.

 

B+ for idea, D- for execution.
