The word "nuh-uh" from the Simpsons is listed, though. Maybe that is what you meant. Here is how they cite it:
"1997 M. GROENING et al. Simpsons: Compl. Guide 218/4 Lisa. You lied to me. Nelson. Nuh-uh! Lisa. There, you did it again!"

Check that, SOME television stations are hiring on the websites.
If you can write quickly, lie well-enough about knowing how to put pictures and words together, you might want to check out TV.
The pay is not memorable, but if you are a newsy sort, it's a good place to be.

Some of the publications that have gone under lately were never up. I worked at a Gawker-cited magazine for years; we weren't allowed to sign our contracts until a couple of weeks before work on an issue began. That magazine was never meant to last as long as it did.

Yes, things suck and there are layoffs a-plenty, but trust nothing that even remotely falls under the category of "prediction" by any journo or blogger. They have no fucking goddamn clue and it would be nice if they would shut the fucking fuck up already.
If any good is to come from this wasteland of media in the wake of the recession/depression, it will be that everyone realizes that the media is no good at doing one damned thing besides reporting the minutes of school board meetings and if some starlet has flashed her vadge.

It's all about driving pageviews from a naturally hysterical and over-nervous audience, namely media people.
I will say one thing, the market right now is bleak...for the less talented. The rest of us are swimming in work. Look at me, I'm working at 10:30 on a Sunday night. Yay for me.

Or, as I like to say, 20% unemployment is 80% employment.

Everyone is just wretchedly, stupidly, selling panic stories. This is not even remotely like 1929--it is so far from it that it's like comparing some small horrible massacre to the holocaust, which our trusted news asses also do every month. But that is ALL THE NEWS DOES anymore. Especially stupid-ass little sideshow sites like fucking Ad Age.
Ad Age? Really? Can any of your cheap shit third tier tard-fuck reporters even *pretend* to claim to have any sources in the real world? Even one of you failed ad exec water-heads? Just fucking one? No, you can't. The whole point of working in advertising is that you don't have to fucking talk to Ad Age.
To everyone else, thanks. It's nice to be able to come here and unload a bit.
To the media people who are filing for tomorrow. You might get fired too. Don't go out on a lie. Don't be an asshole. Don't quote the "business reporter" across the aisle from you or who you're having lunch with as an "expert."
NY Post and The New Yorker, I am looking right at you. (Yes, the New Yorker lies. Every single week.)

One of my co-workers wants to do Teach for America or grad school, but I told her grad school is the sad back-up plan for everyone. Once you graduate you're still knee-deep in student loans and you're still unemployed. And don't even get me started on Teach for America. There's a lot of people jumping on that boat too.

Listen, I know from experience that grad school sucks and that anyone who goes is likely to be just as unemployable afterwards as they would otherwise have been. But it is still hard, and a lot of people I know have given A LOT up to do it because they really love what they do and honestly believe that eventually it will be worth it. So, until you have been as miserably loyal and hard-working as most grad students I know, please don't call it a "sad back-up plan." For most of the people doing it, it's not back-up at all. Have some respect for folks who are pursuing education for the right reasons -- no matter how ill-advised.
Rant over. Yes, I am a little defensive about grad school.

My first question is always "Do you know Chicago (meaning of course The Chicago Manual of Style)?" Two of my fave unintentionally funny replies:
"No, but aren't you based in New York?"
"Sure, and the pizza's great!"
Thanks, I'll be in touch. Click!

(Seriously, don't laugh if I end up needing to hit you up for a job. This market!)

In all seriousness, I am a little giddy because I sent out the final revision of my big chapter today.

I am happy to hear you are teaching your three your old to appreciate nature. Wouldn't you be doing him/her a better service by teaching in a way that is not reflexive of popular uninformed opinion? I personally refrained from scream when a creepy crawly was around my nephews, and they aren't insectophopes like our Mom taught us.
Best wishes to you and yours, this is not said with hate.
