Thursday, March 26, 2009

A faithful reader, RZ, sent this along and it's a pretty good read.

Jim of L-Town said...: I have learned to live very well without my stomach being in a constant churn over looming deadlines, angry sources and the long hours I used to work.

To the many FJ folks who have called me lately, I keep trying to reinforce that there is life abundant even after journalism.; 26 March, 2009 20:33

I am not a journalist but work at one of the booth papers and got caught up in the never ending worry if our production would be moved to GR, then one day, I just did not care anymore and knew that whatever happens the good lord would send me on the right path.

It is times like these that test the fabric of a mans soul and all one needs to do is know that at the end the honest and good people will prevail.

Damn, never thought I would find myself agreeing with a journalist, what has this world come to.; 27 March, 2009 18:10
