Well, it's been forever since I've updated, but I need to write down some of the BS in my head, so here it all is

Gas was above $3 here right after the hurricane. It increased about 20 cents in one day at the gas station just up the street. Puts Jake's and my $76 monthly transit passes in perspective.

Jacob was a lot younger than most of us who worked there last semester, so that might have contributed to his quietness. I never got the feeling he didn't like any of us (well, except maybe Alena and Amber when she'd ruffle his hair all up). He always seemed like a cool guy. Definitely had a sense of humor.

Glad to hear everything is going well!

He was always really quiet around me. Although that could be because of me complimenting him on his jacket and him thinking I was another Amber or something. Who knows. I, however, am not the one who had a bit of a crush on him. Katie. He loosened up a bit at the Open-to-Close, especially after Jonalynn and I kept giving him beer. He seems like a hilarious guy once he actually starts talking.
Did anyone actually like Alena?
I hate gas prices. Not conducive to my Pimp Ship and its ability to eat gas.

Whatever. Everyone had a crush on Jacob. But I'm quite happy with my own Jacob, thank you very much. And he'll hate me because I called him that.

It felt like that this summer, too. It will even out eventually. It seems like you have a great staff on your hands despite that one copy editor you mentioned.
I'm excited to see you this weekend. Is Bimmel coming too?
I miss getting drunk with my fellow 'greeners.
I'll have to kick your butt at some random game the next time I visit.
Miss you!

It seems like every editor goes into the job with a golden vision of what the paper should and will be like underneath them. Joe's seemed particularly so. But at a certain point you have to take everyone's work with a grain of salt and realize you have to let perfection go for the sake of sanity and deadlines. He seems to be adapting to this. Even is patient at times.
A few people were worried he'd be yelling and tempermental all the time ... but that is definately not the case. Everyone has there moment. But he's an even bigger softy than I thought.

I don't know. Let's try asking Anne directly by responding to her post instead of my comment. Ugh. Sorry, but I hate it when I get e-mail notices for replies that don't actually apply to me. Hit the "Leave a comment" button, not the "Reply to this" one.
