Blog Neglect

I apologize for the inevitable period of blog neglect.

My absence is partially caused by pure laziness. This laziness in only enhanced by the fact that, since last week, I've been working a different job at the paper.

A copyeditor/page designer recently moved back to her hometown, and because I know the pagination program, InDesign, I was recruited to work on the copydesk. This also means that instead of working from 10 a.m. to around 6 p.m., I go in at 4 p.m. and don't leave until after midnight. So the hours aren't great, but I'm learning a lot about InDesign which will make my job with The Cluster next year SO much easier.

Welcome to the most thankless job in journalism.
