32 Days
Since my last blog entry... and boy, have things changed around here.
First off, "here" isn't where it last was.
As I mentioned in the last entry, I turned down a position with the San Angelo Standard-Times in hopes of finding something better for me in an area I could see myself living.
As things worked out, the place I could (temporarily, at least) living is someplace I hadn't officially lived at for almost three years - San Antonio.
I've started working as a PT sports stringer at the San Antonio Express-News. I hope to show them what I can do and maybe work my way up to get hired as a FT staff writer. As a matter of fact, I've got my first gamer this Saturday, so look for me on Sunday.
A bunch of my fellow Chipsters have moved from their internship papers - and a good number of them have stayed and been hired FT at their internship papers, and that's always good.
Congrats to the lot of them, but especially to my boy Khris for earning his spot at the Bristol (CT) something-or-other (I just looked at it, but don't remember or feel like looking back).
Speaking of Bristol, it might have been close to us being in the same city again as I had my second quiz with ESPN for the research statistician position I might or might not have written about some weeks ago, but I bombed it...badly. So badly, I think A.D. Brown might actually hit me when he comes out of his hole at the Pentagon and talks to some of us again.
I'm excited about the opportunity I have to get my name out there. The proof's in the writing now, isn't it?
Also, congrats to Isadora for her new job, her (hopefully) new home and her old boyfriend. Who woulda thought it'd pay to be a young, Hispanic journalist, Izzy? I think we're going to be just fine...especially you.
Anyway, to the rest of you Theory readers out there, let me know you're still here.
