Ah, yes, nothing like being assigned a 2,000+ word article on technology you know nothing about, and you have no idea who your contacts are, or even really where to begin at all, plus you have all the other work that's expected of you each month on deadline. Oh, and the article has to be done on Wednesday. That's all on the downside. The upside is that, since this is all above and beyond what is expected of me, I'm getting paid 75 cents a word to get this thing done on time. In other words, milk. every. last. sentence. so. I. can. ponder. a. new. car. Not that I need a new car, mind you, but the thought of money dangling in front of me does strange things to my "I want" list. Th-th-th-th-th-that's all, folks!
