    Congrats Ripp and Goodluck, those jobs can be very stressful. How much do you have to fill?

    I knew a girl from school who started doing this job but on the lower end of the market (I think she had 1/2 page to fill) and she would phone relatives to take out ads when she got desperate :P
    Poker is all about the long long long long long long long term . . .

    i hate what i have become to escape what i hated being...

    Congrats, man. LA Times has got to be one of the most prestigious papers in the US. Good work. Just don't let this job BS get in the way of poker.
