The editor that hired me gave me compliments on this week's issue. Said it was very readable and well done and a good read.
At the same time, I learned that other editor has talked to the paginater and layout person about me and asked they check in with him. The paginater was told to forward all emails from me to her and vice versa to the editor who is training me.
On the other hand, I really, really like the editor who is training me. He is very relaxed and organized and encouraging. He has been a one-man-band on a newspaper before and really gets how it is.
On the other hand, someone stopped the office phone calls from being forwarded to my cell phone...even though the nice editor suggested my doing that...I have to switch my Ohio phone number to a NY one...a bit hesitant to do this when my future is unclear.
I've grown a lot in the last few days. I know that sounds strange, but it's true.
