High school sports writer, Greensboro, N.C.

Excellent. Once all those decent candidates are out of the way, this job will be mine for the taking.

All I require is a steady, long-term supply of air. I had a problem with that at my last job.

 

Any word here?

 

dark helmet, you're hired!

 

damn meat, this sounds like the perfect opportunity to add "ode to amy" to your clip package.

 

Feeling bad for John and Joe and the rest. They're looking to keep things at a higher level, yet haven't been able to hire.
Little did they know when they were told to look for a high school sports writer that it meant to look for a writer who is currently in high school and can be hired in a few years.
Good luck, guys. Hopefully you can get a writer in and familiar with the area so they are ready to go for football season.

 

By "football season," I hope you mean NIFL season - the Greensboro Revolution (www.niflrevolution.com) start play on March 17. (If anyone's near Columbia, S.C. and wants to pick up a few bucks stringing the game, lemme know.)

But, hey, at this rate, we'll take NFL.

Nothing new on the search. At this point, we'll probably have to repost it and start all over. I apologize - usually upper management is less wishy-washy, but our budget year ends in December (we started this back in the fall), and we're facing a slow-motion version of what every other decent-sized paper is dealing with. Landmark takes the death-by-1,000-cuts approach versus, say, the AJC, Dallas and some other big dailies, which seem to prefer to amputate limbs.

 

Sounds like Landmark Communications is a 15-year-old emo chick.

 

Is this job ever going to open up and be filled?

 

You're hired!

 

Thanks. I'm so special I didn't even need an interview. Must be because of my good looks -- NOT!

 

I take it you're desperately looking for a job, WB.

 

I'm looking and so are some of my friends to go to a better paper.
