Some papers have a guy who wheels around breakfast? I want to work there! I had to cook my own pop tarts this morning!

Editorial writer, lifestyles editor, etc.

12. They just cut back your staff (again), then said there no longer is any excuse for missing deadline. "Watch the clock, boy, and don't blame us -- it comes from Corporate. P.S. Your raise this year will be 2 percent."
