    At my first paper, we'd wait to see it come off the press than walk across the parking lot to the one bar that stayed open late. Play pool with the locals 'til 2 or so. Back then I was a better-than-most pool player so it was a good supplement to my $16,000 salary.

    Update:

    Pulled me into the office on Friday. Said “today is your last day. You’re paid out three more weeks as a thank you for putting up with the shit we put you through. Go enjoy the sun before you go.”

    Very nice. And also very rare in the TV business. Congrats. Here's to better health.

    I imagine it may also be to “move on” from me. I’m not at a Costanza level of disengagement at work but I’m definitely not at my career rep of level of detail. And I don’t really care.

    Still showing up on time. Still sitting through all the meetings. Still fixing awful scripts. I just don’t care about trying to making bad reporters decent here anymore.
