Job,

That's the thing. Who would she go to? Smokey? My mom? My sister? Or worse, my in-laws?

It really scares me.

I feel one extra pressure...stay healthy so she is protected.

My friend walked daily.

Sometimes I feel like life is like my newspaper...I work my a$$ off and it's the one thing I miss that bites me when I think I'm home-free.

Had a one-on-one meeting with the perfectionist editor. This week was better. He wasn't full of compliments and seems to miss the hard work I invest. He actually said, "This week, I saw an effort."

Ok.

Some of the red marks were ridiculous and nit-picky...a few, however, made me cringe.

I see what happens though.

I have the front page in place and looking nice...It gets proofed and I have to shift things around. If the front page is last to go through...and it usually is, because it's the page I want crystal clear...if changes need to be made at the last minute, I'm exhausted and I screw something up when I'm trying to accommodate editorial changes initiated by the other editor. This week. Page One needs to be the only thing left for Tuesday.
