So you had to do all your work on campus computers? Weren't you paranoid that someone would look over your shoulder and figure out who you were?

Mine too! Especially when they're more than a month old!

Don't feel bad...mine's going on two and a half months.

Uffish was the best at anonymity! (I still haven't stumbled across her real name, FWIW. I have for most of the writers from the latter half of her era.)

[UffishThought]

Really? Huh. Now I feel all mysterious.

I'm so bad at anonymity. I used to answer questions during advertising class. Now it's sort of funny because advertising has taken over my life and I'm not even at quota. also, a certain writer friend of mine discusses board stuff with me all the time, in public places. I'm surprised we haven't gotten caught.

[Squirrel]

Hmm. It seems to me that considering how 70975 kept saying how it's so stressful being a Writer, you need to hire some more writers to ease the load

[Squirrel]

I'm not that good at subtlety, am I?!
*Winks at Uffish*

[UffishThought]

You're behind on your information, though. I retired years ago.

[Giovanni Schwartz]

I should clarify. I would probably recognize your name if I saw it, but I haven't made the connection that your name=Uffish. After all, I've been friends with Katya, krebscout, chilly, Sky Bones, TBS, and various others at different points in the past,

The Pa Grape meetings were more pep talks along the lines of "guys, answer your 8 questions a week already, and do a good job with it." I sympathize more now that I've been the editor in charge of hiring and firing, but as a brand-new and very timid writer, those meetings scared me.

The "clean out the inbox" gatherings started much later. I didn't have a laptop then, so I wasn't very involved whenever those happened.

Oh. I read "I've" as "I'm" I have to admit that I was really surprised that you'd let that slip.

Well, there was the question where Sky Bones retired that said Art Vandelay is the new head editor...

[Squirrel]

oh wow. *deletes Art's application that was filled out just last night*
If I somehow, by some miracle, get hired, I can't date my boss.

Mods, maybe we should make a new thread.

My bishop's wife wanted to set me up with someone once. I asked her who. She said my old boss's name. I told her "very no."

[Squirrel]

it's a good thing you checked who you were going with. That could get awkward very fast.

[Squirrel]

I just looked over that post. I didn't see Art Vandelay's name in there.....

[Genuine Article]

And even if he did replace Sky Bones he wouldn't be the head editor.

[Giovanni Schwartz]

Well, he is AN editor. I know this for certain. (See: 69547)

Fascinating. It had never occurred to me that BYU's status as an unusually large private school would make it a leader in the number of out-of-state students, but it makes sense.

[Squirrel]

I read the whole thing. Art Vandelay isn't mentioned at all....

[Giovanni Schwartz]

There definitely used to be a part of that that said "Best up-and-coming editor" award.



Someone is cheating, I think.
