We're making do in our new lives. So sympathy only goes so far."<BR/><BR/>That's a tad harsh, Tim. I'm going to have to call you out on that.<BR/><BR/>I like your blog and it does remind me of the old days (can you say 10+ years is old?) on both floors of 1100 Broadway. I read your pieces and they remind me of some really great times...<BR/><BR/>...and some not so great ones such as walking into the "Banner Boy" statue, getting stuck on the newsroom elevator scads of times, having to go to the voluntary/mandatory rah-rah marketing pep rallies...<BR/><BR/>But it's statements such as above that make me want to shake you silly sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Tim, you are now doing some of the best work of your life. The majority of your blog pieces rock. You are producing far more creative commentary than ever would have been allowed at 1100 Broadway. No one is yelling at you, no one is pressuring you to change your opinion for the sake of marketing or retaining subscribers. You are now feisty, passionate and hungry.<BR/><BR/>You got sick and the s.o.b.'s took the opportunity to have you canned. End of story.<BR/><BR/>Enough whining. I look at your blog and see a man who has been steamrolled but hasn't quit.<BR/><BR/>Keep it up.<BR/><BR/>I'll do the same.<BR/><BR/>AlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726279577892804621.post-3756744583839977232009-01-14T08:51:00.000-06:002009-01-14T08:51:00.000-06:00It's against the law to work without pay. I'm sure...It's against the law to work without pay. I'm sure Gannett isn't dumb enough to put itself in trouble like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
