Fake Jobs
June 25, 2023
Of the seven jobs I had in my life, only two kept me busy 8 hours a day; AP and UPI. I loved the Oregon Journal, but was told I was required to spend an hour a day reading the Journal and the "competitor" Oregonian, and then only turn out one or two stories a day. At magazines, I turned out one or two stories a week, and was thought prolific. At Bank of America PR, we were supposed to read the Chronicle, the Examiner, and the output of a clipping service every day.
