Oooooookay. I said I wanted a challenge......

Well, you know, like, the person who would be my boss is 10 years younger than me. This already is a bad place to start from.

There are about 20 of these suburban papers. I would be working for the South Milwaukee one (a tiny little burb a couple towns over from where I live). That's right -- ***I*** would be working for the South Milwaukee one. As in, THE ONLY REPORTER FOR THE ENTIRE F'ING NEWSPAPER. I would have to write a story a day, basically, plus news briefs, plus assign photos for my stories, plus a ton of other things.

Right now I get stories handed to me. My boss assigns photos. I don't mind writing briefs, I do that anyway. But this is WAY more responsibility than I'm used to, and frankly, I'm not sure I can do it.

One piece of interesting news -- it turns out I know 3 people who work for this chain! I hope they all give me glowing reports. I think.

They're interviewing people through the end of next week, so my fantasy of going back to work on Monday and handing in a resignation letter is effectively dead.

Sigh. I hope Angela had better luck than I did!
