So. I'm putting together my school newspaper right now, which is a deceptively smooth process when looked at from the outside. However, when you're in the middle of it, running around, taking pictures, yelling at people who didn't finish their articles.... well, let's just say you perfect your Aggressive Walk of Doom pretty quickly.
Annoying Incident of the Day:
A girl was supposed to write a spotlight piece on a teacher at our school who's doing a "Fundamentals of Aviation" class after school. She told me last week that she had written it and put it on the journalism server. Then she told me three different folders she thought it was in; it wasn't in any of them. She claimed to have written it, still, and that it was on her USB drive. Which was conveniently stolen. I found out today that she didn't even interview the teacher. The sad thing is that I can't write this off as freshman stupidity, as she's been on this paper for two years. She knows that all articles in all states of the writing process go on the server. And where they go on the server (New Articles is a pretty logical title, no?).
Grrrr...
