I’m starting a new job next week. After nearly eight years of full and part-time employment at the Winnipeg Sun, I am packing my Bloc de Journaliste with my terribly out of date CP Stylebook and moving on over to the Winnipeg Free Press, where I will be playing a part similar to that of a rover in softball. The newspaper equivalent of a free safety. Helping out the coverage in different areas of the field. Offering run support. Filling the gaps. Etc.

What this means for this crazy little thing called blog remains to be seen. The new gig will take up most, if not all, of my attention as I get acclimatised to the new surroundings, so the post frequency I’ve tried to maintain over the last 13 months could slow considerably during that time. Who knows? Maybe things will remain the same. Maybe things will go dark. Maybe this thing-a-ma-blog will find a new direction (or maybe a new location). Oh, the suspense! We’ll sell you the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge! Bottom line: Come the first of February, things are officially up in the air over here. I’ll keep you posted.

Funny.

  5. [...] With the new job, the commitment to daily blogging has been put on the back-burner. Breaking news, I know. That’s just the way it has to be, folks. I can’t be in front of a computer for 20 hours a day. Deal with it. But with that hole in all of our lives comes opportunity. Consider this a submission call. Here’s your chance to provide an opinion (or “take” as the cool broadcast kids say) on whatever you want. You write it up and send it over to the email over on the side menu bar, and I’ll throw it on here. If you want your name on it, say so. If you want your nickname on it, tell me what it is. If you want me to make up a name, well…I can do that, too. [...]
