The credit crunch bit into my own personal economy a few weeks ago when the weekly paper I write for had to shut down. They were denied a line of credit and a few of their major advertisers had their lines of credit frozen. I can't even tell you how depressed I've been! Anyway, I just got hired today for a DAILY paper, yes folks, that's right, I'm in the big time now. Well, no not really, it's not like it's the NY Times or anything, but it is the largest paper in my county. I'll be on the same beat that I've been on and cover the same things that I've been covering but for a little bit more money and a whole lot more public exposure.
Sorry I'm gushing, but OMG!
