1. written in an unbelievably exhausted, and therefore delirious, state.
2. NOT meant to offend anyone!!! (especially not our dear reporters!!)
3. It really wasn't so bad working on this magazine :) great fun actually!
Envision, O Envision,
magazine so beloved!
I wish you'd get done with,
and stop messing with my head.
It's so hard to believe,
after all I've done and seen,
what drove me insane
was working for a magazine.
It taught me a lot of things -
No-one cares about skill,
it's all about STORY.
Also, editors can kill.
Copy-editing ain't so easy.
It definitely isn't fun.
Most reporters (here), with pens, are
like a monkey loose with a gun.
Be warned, future copy-desks,
to this job should you aspire,
make your will before you start.
There's a good chance you may expire.
Are baba, come down, make sure the ground hasn't become more slippery. Relax, it will be different next time, Different for sure.
ReplyDeleteso is the great copy-edited magazine out as yet? has the frustration brought any fruits? or just an expiry date? heh heh
