What makes you unique at work?

I'm the only woman who is a full-time employee sitting in the sports department section.

 

Are you going to work for a one-man sports staff your whole career?

 

At my first shop, I was the youngest person in the newsroom by 17 years.

That was fun...

 

Up until last year, i was the youngest in the entire newsroom. Then we hired someone who's a year younger than me.

 

Dooley gets his comebacks from this guy:

 

Well, you get your movie-viewing habits from him, so....

 

I mutter under my breath and shoot dark looks at superiors. You can't miss me.

 

Yup, same here. Fuckin sucks.

 

Even though I have to edit copy from time to time, I'm not some dour grumpy puss when I do.

And I don't cackle like a hen that just laid an egg every time I catch some minor mistake.

That makes me unique among copy editors.

(Those are the same copy editors that say I'm not really a copy editor, I'm just a person who edits copy.)

 

I hope you at least make fun of the writers in a loud voice, preferably when they are in the room. Otherwise, you need to turn in your copy editor card.

 

Hey, man, he was awesome in Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
