this is a Hartman Newspapers rag. Run far away.

even by newspaper standards, the Hartman's have a uniquely retarded approach to the business.

 

This job was just filled in August. Anyone know what happened?

 

Again? This is like three (maybe four) times in the past three years.

 

I take a sort of glee in the fact that a paper that couldn't take time to call me back — and, come on, it's not even a daily — has such turnover. Maybe this makes me a petty asshole, but whatever.

 

Go look up a Terry Schaub on twitter. Not exactly a typical publisher.

You're young, keep this attitude and at least you'll have glee your entire life.

 

I know you're right. Sometimes — not always, I swear! — I get too petty and bitter for my own good. It just sucks when you see a good coverage area, want to be there for a while and have decent plans for it, and never get an e-mail back, while they hire someone who doesn't even last a year.

That's not under my control, though, and I need to let things go.

You're certainly not the first person to have those feelings and brave of you to admit it publicly. I suspect coaches and people in other professions feel much the same at times.
