A Pixelated Mind

*kills self*

So I accomplished something. Yeah, a newspaper was published today and I’m sort of credited as the Design Editor. You’d think I’d feel more proud, but all I feel is stress. That’s not right. I’ll have to learn to delegate and manage my time. So I think I’ll eat a grape today.
But first,
Allow me to introduce the cast of characters at the local newspaper:

“Equals:”

Autumn S. = Editor-in-chief, refuses to publish name “Pixel Q. Styx” yet goes by her middle name “Paige.” The irony never fails to amuse.
Jayna B. = News Editor, is responsible for Gabe the Beaver being published

Claire D’M. = Arts Editor, edits arts section.

Lance C. = Sports Editor, probably edits the sports section, or something…

Yoshi B. = Photo Editor, wants me to come to him to see which photos shall run, as a favor.

Bekkah B. = Copy Editor, edits copy. Offered to edit ads early on so we don’t have a repeat of yesterday’s fiasco.

Marcie B. = Advertising Manager, has my personal line, in charge of making my life complicated, Laura’s friend.

“Employees:”

Laura W. = Believes she should have gotten my job. Does the fun and hard work and treats me like an underling because I let her (and I figure: hell, I don’t want to do extra work!)

Nick T. = Graphic Designer with own schedule.

Katy V. V. = New Graphic Designer who thinks she can have her own schedule.

“Other Kool Kats:”

Jonathan Butz: ‘Real‘ last name is Butz. Amusing writer/radio DJ.

Becky C.: Known her since 2000, but never really spoken. Hm.

Sarah Stoltzfus: Has a last name with four consonants in a row (count ’em). Very strong e-mail password if you’re ever in need (according to gmail).

Whitney: Is pregnant.

Jeff Hand: Walks around suggesting things. Actual job as much a mystery as his new moustache.

… the word moustache almost looks like the word pistachio, but only for five letters…

  2. Ah, right, and you’d better get used to the stress. I’ve managed to lay off some of it by delegating shtuff to my two news editors, but I’m still in charge of a lot of managerial stuff (read: extensive proofreading, dealing with staff members). Plus, I have to get to school an hour early to write the script for my school’s tv show, and often stay after to film stuff.I recommend getting a stress ball. Other relief tactics I use involve writing a single word multiple times on a piece of paper.

    Yeah, it’s probably gonna turn out that I’m clinically insane and this is all bad advice.
