On Sunday after seeing Cari Gervin’s tweet, I posted this about the job posting for Mike Donila’s replacement over at the Big Metal Shed on the Hill.
It seems that somebody that can and does effect change at the Big Metal Shed on the Hill must have read my post. Cause gollygeewhiz they changed the job posting to a more professional less National Enquirer type description. You would have thought from the earlier posting that Editor Jack McElroy wanted somebody that would snoop through someone’s financial records while utilizing their estranged spouse as a source. Oh Wait, Snap! He has already done that before.
Anyway, here is the posting now. Starting salary is still the same. And all this time, I thought no body at the shed read my blog. Again, I am the Media NOBODY reads but EVERYONE knows the content.
