    Well, that's just a hell of an idea. I think I'll waltz over to journalismjobs.com, take my pick of any of the plum positions available there, take a $50,000 loss on selling my house, and everything will be groovy. ;)

    JRC wouldn't do the shit it does, and people wouldn't get as pissed about it, if the market wasn't what it is, but it is, and they know they have professional journalists -- specifically professional journalists -- by the balls, and can do whatever the hell they feel like.

    Shotty, I agree. I just figure if there is a deadline it is meant to be made, especially if my job/raise depends on it. It is BS how papers can hold for late things and get to the porches on time, but we can only hold for late things if it is a big event.

  4. Frank, you are like some of these folks who say their hearts are bleeding because of how paparazzi abuse celebrities. Those poor celebs get no privacy, they are followed everywhere, cameras are shoved into their pretty Hollywood faces. You demand that paparazzi leave these celebs alone because it is "sick." ... Then you turn around each week and shell out a couple of dollars so you can read your copy of Star magazine.

    If what is going on in this thread is so "sick" then maybe you should really show some support for the cause and stop reading it and stop making posts that only serve to keep this "sick" thread alive.

    Here's some advice for you: In all sincerity, I recommend that you consider the fact that there have been 700 posts and over 20K views on this thread. Could it possibly be that there is some interest or truth, however hard it is for you to accept, to the topics here? We've all heard your repeated cries for compassion. So noted.

    You've heard them. The next of the 12 steps is to listen to them.

    You know, perhaps if you got yourself involved with the other parts of this message board, you wouldn't be so focused on your righteous indignation.
     
  6. Okay, Blood diamond. You're like Frank. You keep buying the diamonds on this thread while at the same time you keep shedding tears for the manner in which they are mined. Cats like you and Frank are the real reason this thread is so long. Without your worthless online pity party responses, this thread would maybe be half as long.

    Maybe I should be thanking you instead of laughing at your hypocrisy. If it was not for cats like you and Frank, there wouldn't be so much entertainment on this thread. Every time there's a chance that folks will just start ignoring this thread and letting it go away, cats like you help keep it going. For that, I thank you.

    I'd like to add that while I'm grateful to get my check on time for the 2 articles I wrote, sending me Xeroxed copies of them was quite dumb. I wanted tearsheets, fellas. I want to see how you toned my photos and how they appeared in the paper. You said you'd send me tearsheets, not Xeroxed copies.
     
  8. Oh, I'm pretty sure you guys won't let it go away.

    I would just like to give lapdog a standing ovation after reading this. He hit the nail on the head ... many times over. Bravo, lapdog, you pretty much summed up life as it's known at The Trentonian and every other JRC newspaper!

    Ear of Van Gogh and Lapdog, my special daddy has asked me to tell you that your posting privileges on this website have been suspended. Your heartless lies and hatred go against everything that my lovely, lovely daddy and his Journal Register Company stand for.

    Frank Ridgeway, you again have proven to my special daddy that you have dedicated your life to spreading love for Daddy and the JRC family. Your recent induction into my special daddy's JRC Family Hall of Fame is not enough to repay you for being the greatest JRC defender on this website. Shotglass and friend of a friend, my special daddy is overjoyed that you have joined Frank in fighting off the evil JRC haters. Together, with JRC's overpowering love, one day we will defeat these haters. Until that time please know that your heartwarming support has created a smile as long as the St. Lawrence River on my lovely, lovely daddy's face. The temperature in our home climbed from the heat being produced from Daddy's joyfilled heart.

    My lovely, lovely daddy's invitation to all of you last week was received with overwhelming response. Thousands and thousands of you showed your interest in the beautiful family unit that is Journal Register Company by seeking employment at the many, many JRC family publications and websites. Your abundant love makes Daddy so, so happy.

    On behalf of my entire family, much love and kindness is wished upon you all.
