[15 Dec 2005|05:09pm] Today I found out that not only does my position entail my reading of each and every story 3-4 times on average to identify any errors, but it's also my job afterward to 1) go on the network itself and re-read every story yet again to make sure the reporters corrected any mistakes, 2) read over the printed pages themselves 1-2 times to ensure the editors didn't accidentally use an outdated version of any stories, and 3)access them all via the network to manually edit the pages themselves to make sure nothing gets by. So, I take full responsibility for any errors in the recent issue of the Prowler. I made the mistake of assuming writers were capable of making necessary changes after only being told three times, which in retrospect was a ridiculous assumption on my part. I don't have room in my schedule to take the class another semester, anyway, although I was going to have my lunch switched to fifth and continue to stay on staff. Chambers liked the idea, but I'm not quite sure how irritated she is with me at this point. The old editors were supposed to visit or something but never did. :( 2 karate chops | hiii-ya!

[09 Dec 2005|07:28pm] The thing about staying after school with senior staff members is that I am now aware of how much scrutiny 80% of the stories undergo. This in turn makes me less inclined to actually write anything because the paranoid side of me is fixated on the possibility that I'll end up like the people who write columns thinking they're great, and no one decides to tell me otherwise, so I continue to write and write and write, indirectly forcing people to publish utter shit. I over-think things like no other. 8) At any rate, it amused me a bit that during class, Tex was the only one frantic about figuring out how to submit the pages to be published while the rest of the editors were just chillin'. 3 karate chops | hiii-ya!
