So I went on an internship program and met with them today. Office was about the size of my living room and two people were sitting on the couch, a smug asshole was rested at his desk and some bull-dyke looking scary bitch was the one who I was talking with. I found them via good ol' fashioned Cregzlst (Remind me never to do that again).
Anyways, I got an email from some jerk with the excuse of "We're meeting with local high schools and college programs to find people, thanks for your time". Obviously more bullshit, right? Ah, these are troubled times when one can't find a non-paying volunteer job at a website ran out of what appears to be a garage.
I don't think they liked my uh, unusual brand of humor, and as one person put it: "The language".
One rule about journalism is that free speech and the first amendment is always to be accepted. Fuck the status quo. I'm embarrassed I even put on a nice shirt when I met them and feel I dodged a bullet with this one.
Besides, who needs an entire staff to run a
shitbag website registered March 9th of this year anyway, a stay-at-home blogger like me could do their work.
The entire interview was very disorganized. She plopped down an assignment in my lap and said to have fun with it. No small talk, no chit-chat, nothing. Just another run of the mill site with its head so far up its ass making its own rules that it wouldn't know journalism if it hit them square in the balls.
Don't be surprised if this entire project registers a 404 error in the near future. You're all a misfortune to the internet, and you're only setting yourselves up for failure. Major bad karma points on you all ;)
Final words: I will never stop writing about what I think is right, because I was taught to always believe in something and stick with it. No matter if I'm wrong, or if im out of line, or even apathetic. That's what writing is about, writing what you love and hate. Get with it, adapt to the times, or wither away like all the other small-minded ones.
