Looking for a job?

No apology necessary dude! I was just messing with you.

And if you read the latest post from the SE there, it appears you were well served in asking that question and I was wrong! Opening is for a sports writer and an ASE with the outdoors coverage going to either of the two. I misunderstood the way it was written. My bad.

Mayfly, sounds like you might be from Memphis...

I've heard from a little birdie that this job is anything BUT part time. AVSE works his people 70 and 80 hours a week, paying them with just a few silver coins and some pop tarts at the end of each night.

he's a good guy, though

 

Wow, eastcoast, you really make him sound to be like a good guy. 70 to 80 hours a week and you get, what I am guessing is part-time money. Sounds like a lame job to me.

 

the job may be lame, I wouldn't know for sure, but the SE is good people.

 

sarcasm my man. sarcasm.

 

a few things for the record...

the only member of my sports department who's ever worked 70 hours in a week is me

I have very little to do with the payola, but I do try to get my employees every penny I can

the pop tarts are true

 

Sorry. It flew right by me.

 

As an alum of said publication, I can vouch for this. The only times I worked 70-hour weeks were the times I was covering golf majors -- three of which I did for said publication.

I did pull an all-nighter once, because I had a UCLA football game to cover and a 110-inch centerpiece for our football tab to finish.

 

110-inch center piece for football preview???? I bet the prep writers over there haven't heard ANYTHING about this. Guess AVSE is writing that bomber.

 

You probably won't be writing any of those.

This was for the "Century of Football in the Valley" tab. It was a history of football in the region, dating to 1916, when the oldest HS started a team. My boss at the time asked me a rough estimate of how long it would be and turned me loose. About 60" in, I told him I was about halfway done.

He said, "Keep writing. We'll get it in." And he did.
