It's all coming back to me.

Not long before I quit working there, I was reprimanded for not producing enough each week. I was missing deadlines. Can't miss deadlines at a newspaper. It throws off the entire production schedule.

I talked non-stop in close quarters with co-workers, to the point where they would tell me to hush so they could concentrate.

I would interview people on the phone, hang up, and then turn around and tell everyone about the interview rather than getting busy on writing the story.

Definitely not the best employee in the world.

But I was good enough at one time that they decided to hire me after I did my college internship there.
