Yippee!

Some ideas to inspire you.

Maxine and I want everyone to look at these templates.  Not only will it give us design support, but it may inspire you to write something that fits the page.

You will definitely be fired.

I am not happy.  What could have been the finest issue to date was ruined by ridiculous racist, ignorant, superficial, pedestrian, moronic banter in our Spirit Week story.  What was supposed to be a HELPFUL, informational feature that REPORTED the events of spirit week has put us on the hot seat again, and I am FURIOUS.

So, Abe and Ryan, can you READ THIS CLEARLY?  You both got sanctioned 20 points for the lack of good judgment and for trashing our newspaper.

Next time, I'll flunk you both for the quarter.

This is the best way to meet!

Based on a conversation I had today with one of my chiefs, I realized that we need a better, more efficient way to communicate.  So here it is.  I want everyone to air their plans for our paper, particularly the next issue, discuss what is working and what isn't, and how we can become more efficient.
