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
congrats, rippy!
i just got off the phone with the LA Times. i told them how nice i thought it was that they were willing to give an ex-con a second chance... :P
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. :)
