Big Announcement!!

This is the only Saratogian Front Page I could find online
It's from a few years ago, but otherwise looks the same
I'll soon be on their staff.


Yes, that's right. After a successful interview that took most of yesterday afternoon, I was offered a job as a city beat reporter at this daily newspaper. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity. I'm very excited about this opportunity, which will be my first full time job, and the first job in what I hope will be a career as a writer. I'm very much looking forward to the opportunity, even though I'll actually be earning less than I would be if I worked full time at JackRabbit, because scraping by on a meager salary is a rite of passage that I'm eager to participate in.

Of course, I'll miss the convenience of living with my parents, and the favorable rent there. And I'll miss my friends in the city, but this is a very exciting change, and I look forward to telling you all about it in the weeks leading up to November 5, my first day of work!

I also wanted to let you all know that this blog helped to make me a desirable candidate, and a blog is nothing without its readers, so thank you all for helping me to get this job! Once I start at the paper, in addition to maintaining this blog, I will also be keeping a blog of Saratoga city politics, giving you yet another opportunity to read my thoughts!

Be well, and I'll get back the top and bottom five lists tomorrow!
