Morning all.

Applied for another gig on Saturday. It's straight-up article writing for a car-based website that also involves technology and other lifestyle stuff. My friend just left there, so I'm applying for her old position.

- Pay is better than FMU
- There's more downtime, and there's no Marilynn to try and make me feel bad that I have downtime
- 15 PTO days/year, rather than the 10 I get here
- It's closer to my house
- They don't piss test

The editor in chief e-mailed me last night wanting some writing samples. So I sent him my T911 articles and a link to FMU's blog. I'd be writing the lifestyle stuff first, but hopefully I'd get to move into the autojournalism part of it later on. Then I'd get to test drive and review press cars and things like that.

We will see what happens. Fingers crossed, y'all.

Did you work out your FB issue? Also who did that?

Thanks Rob. I reported it, but that's about all I can do.

I don't really feel like expending energy to chase down somebody whose sense of humor isn't even all that good. Maybe if I felt they deserved a congratulations, then perhaps.

Hope you get it Andrew, sounds like a step in the right direction.

Thanks, Kyle. You're right about that. From there, if it works out, I'd probably try to eke my way into Autoblog or Jalopnik, then move up to the big time from there. As I've said before, this is really the only career path (automotive journalism) that I want to pursue. It's going to be tough, but fuck it, life's tough and I don't really have it that bad so I don't have much room to complain, if any.

nice dude! what site?

It's called Web2Carz. Not a fan of the 'z' at the end, but hey, I'll write for whoever wants to pay me. I thought Jalopnik was a weird name to begin with, too.

Their writing could use a little more flair, and hey, that's what I'm decent at.
