I got a rejection on Easter Sunday...I'm not mad about the rejection, I'm mad that agent was working on a Sunday. The Publishing Industry is not in a good way right now. You know that person was not getting holiday pay.

Oh! Before I forget -- if you apply for my old job as Senior Travel Reporter, you should ask for no less than 115k, a signing bonus &a relocation bonus if you're moving to NYC. In full transparency, I was at 107k. I believe being transparent is one way to achieve equity in media.

@jrdncardona Hey Jordan, really nice article. The article even mentions that there are games (like animal crossing) that are set up to be places to interact with others, which I haven’t seen before
