The Paper
Holy shite. This is a long one. I'll abandon the person-by-person rundown of this post until this point.
Last year there was Chris and Nat. Chris was editor-in-chief and Nat was the news editor. Both taught me a lot about journalism and both became dear friends.
This year they have been legion. I'll travel from cubicle to cubicle around the office. Lorrie, our business manager. A rock and the binding force of the paper.
Emma, administrative assistant. The cutest little hippie I've ever met. A singer and novelist. Perpetually upbeat.
Erinn, editor-in-chief. Political radical and controversial figurehead.
Caitlin, features editor. Crazy and hyper and silly and calls me "luv" when she says bye on MSN Messenger.
Me, news editor. 'Nuff said.
Ian, arts & culture editor. My best friend on staff. A philosopher, music nut, comic geek and rocker. He rocks out.
Chris, "sports guy." Nice guy, awesome cartoonist, a football player that plays chess and the guitar. And that's about all I know of him.
Steph, photo & graphics editor. Calm, cool and collected. Blonde, beautiful and has a great smile. Professional with a capital 'p.' I consider her a friend and would feel privileged if she thought the same.
Dave, layout director. Political radical. Often acts like a nice guy. Drives me a little nuts at times, but I'm not going to go into that.
Meredith, ad designer. Enigma.
PK, ad manager. Tough, passionate and freaking out. For good reasons.
Brandee, copy editor, fall semester. Mature, thoughtful, excellent writer. I respect her a lot.
Jer, volunteer extraordinaire. Jer is our clinch guy. He's the one we depend on and take for granted. The best writer involved at the paper and a great friend.
Susan, copy editor, winter semester. Don't know a thing about her, other than her passion for em-dashes. :) She was just hired.
And, mentioned last because she works outside the office as our circulation director, is Kiernan. Ian's her boyfriend, so we spend a fair amount of time together. Honest, blunt and takes no shit from anyone. She's a real sweetheart.
