Shhh! Keep it down! Some of us

[supernova]

are still on the work clock! :P

j/k

[bigwillq]

1. I'm still working!

Just got here at 4 p.m. It's really slow tonight. :hi:

[supernova]

2. Are you third-shift?

:hi:

I'm holding over... I'm trying to finish a book edit -- my deadline is today-- and got behind because of a tech problem at work today that chewed up a couple of hours. :P

edit: third-shift, not third-shitt. :rofl:

[bigwillq]

3. Second shift

I usually work from like 3:30 to 11:30 depending on what my duties are that night! :hi:

[supernova]

4. What do you do

if you don't mind my being nosy?

[bigwillq]

5. I'm a sportswriter

at a newspaper here in CT.

Game coverage, interviews and office shifts dictate what hours I work.

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Sympathies, dude

Did that for years. Wouldn't do it again.

Sports copy editor... that's different. :bounce:

[bigwillq]

7. I would rather be a writer

Our copy editors work later then I do. more shifts, holidays, etc...
Plus, when there are rain (snow) outs and all the high school games get cancelled, the writers don't have to go in but the editors do.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Yeah, but they get to ride a desk

instead of standing on the sidelines freezing their asses off. :scared:

Anyway, I really enjoy designing pages, writing heds, etc.

[bigwillq]

9. Well that's true

but that's for only three months of the year here in CT. Only really Nov and Dec.
The rest of the games are indoors during the winter.

I hate paginating so the writer role suits me! :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Hey, as long as you write clean

and total the stats right, we'll get along fine.

11. WHAT?? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!
