    I think it's quoted in another post in there, at least some of his stuff is.

    Any idea how long they're keeping the application process open? I sent one in, just curious when to expect (or not to expect) to hear anything.

    More hideous than Ben Seaver,

    The "going postal" originated in my area. The father of a high school coach at one of the eight schools my paper covers was the postal worker who went on a shooting spree. His son is well liked in the area and his wife has been at every major sporting event for that school I can imagine.

    Yeah, I heard back a couple days ago. Got an e-mail... "..even though you have a very impressive background, we have selected candidates who more closely match our needs. We'll keep track of your resume profile in case of future openings..." something along those lines. I was curious if that's a generic thing that everyone got, or if I should take some consolation that I got something back. In the original post on here, it said they weren't contacting everyone, so who knows. Either way, I am not taking it too hard... I'm just out of school (just have an internship and 4 years as a stringer under my belt), so I figured they were looking for someone with more experience... I just applied for the heck of it.

    Haven't heard anything, but my e-mail was down part of Friday.

    Hope that wasn't an omen.

    I know the Pilot has sent e-mails out to people asking them to submit clips.

    I know three people who have been asked to submit clips.

    I believe all three have.
     
  11. From the initial V-P thread, a Moddy classic:

    Brass = not impressed.

    How did I miss this the first time through? UGH.

    Note to self: Listen to Moddy's suggestions.
