Funny you should mention Python. I was just thinking about that very subject.....

Does she even know that song?

cirquelover · 03-14-2009, 03:03 PM

She'd never admit it even if she did

I know the song (I even know what movie it is from). Still doesn't make Monty Python particularly funny.

Just go buy some books, 'k. Someone has to pay their college tuition. It might as well be you.

Its okay. We all have our weaknesses in life.

I know, and I've accepted that for many people it is an unjustified fondness for Monty Python.

Are you employed or unemployed?

Fully employed ... but doing the job of three-to-four people for no extra pay and no compensation for overtime, which sometimes involves six-or-seven day work weeks.

At my place of employment (a magazine/newspaper/Website publishing company), it has laid off about 60 percent of the staff since last year. It's not the best time to be a journalist, whether one works in print, broadcast or online.

For a journalist to survive in the changing job market and adapt to the ways people get their news, many journalists need to increase their skills to become what has been called "super journalists," "backpack journalists," or a "one-man band." In other words, many journalists need to possess writing, photography, video capturing and editing abilities, print design and Web design skills in order to get hired -- or stay employed -- but still only get paid for one job.
