I wish people would stop lauding cyclists in NYC. We have the best public transport system in the world, bar none, and these folk want to be seen as environmental heroes for keeping their couple of bucks in their pocket. You want to impress with your two-wheeled war against the war against the environment, then do it in St. Louis. Keep peddling to your tree-genocide of a navel-gazing twat-wrapper; but let's note that the article doesn't say she cycles home - that would be uphill.
The only reasons obsessively thin editors like Lucy Danziger ride their bikes to work is so they can stay scrawny. It ain't being green, it's being scrawny. Don't make it seem like she is trying to be good, she is just terrified of having any kind of womanly shape.
Yesterday, I realized that I don't know the difference between Self and Shape, but one of 'em has Pam Beesley Halpert on the cover this month looking mighty fine.
Also, I hate people who bike in the city, so she gets no kudos from me. #condenast
You know you've arrived when you are able to both collect unemployment and have a full-time job at Monroe magazine. At least Desiree seems committed to advancing the cause of short fiction.
@microtony: Even better: you can't collect unemployment if you work for Monroe! (The letter of the law: if you do any work, even as a favor, even if you do not get paid, you are supposed to declare that to the DoL.) So you could actually get docked your unemployment pay for working for this kooze.
@Recently Newly Redundant: Exactly. I almost got thrown off Unemployment benefits once because I refused a job working for the Russian mob writing Masters Theses for lazy, rich people. The only reason they didn't toss me off benefits was, I threatened to call the cops and implicate them in a conspiracy.
Yeah, escalation is my default. But I got my benefits.
Also; try looking for paid blogging work. I got an offer to do five blog posts a week, "for exposure". On a blog that gets 35 pageviews a day.
