    Yeah, well, there's no "pipeline" out of my old newsroom. I get that shit straight up myself.

    One night before my 461-day reign of terror started, I was desk chief. We're short, as usual, so I load Jill up. I mean load her up. She comes in and I apologize for overloading her. She looks at her slate, looks at me and goes, "Dude. That is the lightest slate I've had all week." So I gave her some more. She got it all done.

    She continued to call me "dude" even after I got the big job. I insisted on Mr. Dude at that point. To no avail.

    Another time I asked her to proof a locator map that about 20 people had already proofed. She found the mistake in about four seconds.

    Maybe someone will tell her about this site and she can read all of the nice things people are saying about her.

    And single twentysomethings all over Bristol just broke out in shit-eating grins and Bluto Blutarsky leers for no apparent reason...

    Seriously, that's a great hire. Like Mizzou, I just wonder if Jill knows about this board and will let us know her feelings about all the love she's getting.

    We kept her pretty busy - have no clue when she'd be able to spend any time having fun on the Internet.

    I hate you all. Well, the sarcastic ones. Except the sarcastic ones I love.

    Dammit.
