| As you can see....I spend a large amount of my "free time" at the Retort. I work office hours during the week and anywhere from 6-10 hours on the weekend just on newspaper layout. I love my job here and not only is it a class credit, I GET PAID to do what I love! Finally I found my calling! I love my co-workers.....yes all of you! (Even Jesse....though he gets fiesty sometimes) WELL....pray for me you guys...I have accepted the position of Editor-in-Cheif for the 2002-03 year.....which I am doing out of constant PEER PRESSURE! Just Kidding! (THANK YOU AMY W., JESSE, NICK, LESLEE, AMY H., CHRIS, NELS, MICHELE, LARISSA, JAMES, VAL, SUSAN, SHAUNNA, BRYAN, JAMES, MI-SUK, NICOLE, JIM, BRETT, THERA, JACKIE.....and ESPECIALLY Nancy and Miranda for your constant support and occasional NAGGING...I couldn't do this without you!) |
