Well I never!
I've been called a lot of names in my day--some of them inflammatory, some of them laudatory, some of them hardly auditory--but never, ever, ever had I been called this until today: managing editor. That's right, as of approximately noon today (11 a.m. for my readers on the West Coast), I am officially employed once again, this time with that heady title preceeding (or following) my name.
I'll be managing a staff of freelance writers and photographers, working with our design and marketing teams, and maybe even be doing a little writing myself for a high-end lifestyle, culture, and real-estate magazine dedicated to Costa Rica. Pretty freaking cool if you ask me. Even better, because the magazine only publishes only three times a year, I'll only be working about 20 hours a week. Which leaves more than enough to do the tourist thang and still pull in a little dough. The only downer is that the commute is about an hour each way (the first 20 minutes via taxi and then 40 on the bus), but get this: After I get comfortable in my position, I can work from home a few days a week!
Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better situation. And, honestly, I was ready to face another challenge. Apparently, sleeping in and doing nothing all day gets stale after a little while. Imagine that.
So call me what you will--just make sure to toss the M.E. in there every once in a while.

Yo Willy,
first, I want to say sorry for not wishing you better on the back injury. I forgot you were such a wimp.
Good job on getting a job. That work thing sucks but I suppose you can't sleep in every day, then you wouldn't truely enjoy the chances you get to sleep in.
What's up with the fantasy league? Any headway?
When's your first day working? Congratulations!

T-Heady,
First day was today! And I have to say, I actually enjoyed it. I went to a magazine meeting that was entirely in Spanish. THAT was interesting. For the league, when would be a good time to draft for you? I'm setting it up asap.
I'll email you a better draft time, but don't worry about matching for me...I can always trade!
