    According to Moddy and IJAG, yes. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

    Buck is good people. He really does a good job of protecting his writers from the crap that upper-management dishes out. I spoke to him on the phone a few months back, and he wanted me to go down for an interview, but he told me that they'd only be willing to pay $10/hr to start. He's 26, I believe, and really aware of the lack of excitement in the town, but he doesn't sound to be a bad person to work for, can't say that for the rest of the Bulletin, though.

    Snark on a Martinsville thread. You don't say! Let's settle this one now. TP, if you're willing to give on Roswell, you're hired!

    So the sports editor doesn't have an e-mail address, and the ME is giving her Hotmail. I know it's just piling on, but that alone should be a black flag. (F the red flag. This one gets black.)

    Remember it is Martinsville. The worst part of it is Ginny. And she ain't going anywhere. She's a lifer.

    Ginny has issues. That's been documented. However given the present job climate, putting up with her isn't as bad as being unemployed. To some, sending a resume is a viable option.

    TP, flip a coin. Roswell or Martinsville. Which is it? Drip, I agree that working for a place like Martinsville is better than being unemployed. No question. People just need to know what they're getting into. I have actually met her so I speak from experience.

    No question that Ginny needs a hug or Dr. Phil and may be missing a sensativity chip, however, no one says you have to stay there forever. Also, no one says that you have to put up with crap that in assinine.

    Sensitivity chip? Or is sensativity something else entirely and I'm clueless?

    Drip, if you take a gig like that you have to take the crap that goes with it.
