    And the bartender says: "Hey, where's Iggy?"

    A pack consisting of an infinite number of innumerates walks into a bar. The first says, “I’ll have half a beer.” The next says, “I’ll have a fourth of a beer.” The next says, “I’ll have an eighth of a beer.” And so on and so on.

    How many beers does the bartender pour?

    Fuck-you-Meg on your second sentence, but your first sentence rings true. Too many reporters think their names in print elevates them to some kind of rock-star status.

    It doesn't. You're not rock stars. The work is what matters, and only the work matters. So work hard and shut up.

    ETA: I've worked at two or three destination newspapers, I guess, and at the last one I once went to a party where the crowd was mostly reporters. And a bunch of them were sitting around a poolside table constantly talking over each other about their book projects and the art of writing and who had the better book agent. Over and over and over again.

    None of them ever got a book into print. It was just the typical newsroom rock-star bullshit.

    Maybe it’s just me, but I like Martyr’ Dad more than “I don’t have to rake the leaves or walk the dog anymore, but still get to take my kid swimming once a week, and oh, have I mentioned my new girlfriend” dad.

    I could probably find it, though the instance I'm thinking of now was at least three years ago, but I won't. It was out of line then and I'm not going to pile on by digging it up now. I know at least one SJ.com was among the people whose loss of a job he celebrated. Piling on is your thing, not mine. I've given a good reason not to dig up the post. If YankeeFan wants to keep lying and say he has never cheered people in journalism losing their jobs, that's just more of the same from one of the more dishonest posters this site has ever seen.

    If you can prove I'm lying, then my credibility is rightly damaged. If you can't, it's just you looking for a reason to attack me as usual.
