Chapter Six

All Work and No Play

I complete my shift at the diner. Then I go home to take a quick shower and go straight to my second job.

I enter through the glass doors of the Millard Gazette. The sound of groups of people chattering and individuals clicking on the keyboards at their desk is all that I can hear. I walk over to my cubicle and start to turn on my Dell computer. I would much prefer working on a Mac PC but Millard Gazette is not quite up to date with the latest technological advances.

Just as I am about to sit down in my chair, Dan, the editor-in-chief, calls me over to his office.

I dread going into his office because I am sure that he wants me to add or remove something from the article that I did for Brent and Emily’s anniversary celebration story. The spread will run tomorrow in the Friday’s edition of the newspaper. I took the time to complete the story and add my finishing touches during my shift at the diner earlier today and emailed the story to Dan after I was done. I don’t want to spend another minute writing about the love life of my ex and his real life Barbie.

Dan is so anal which is a pain in the ass. I hate having to rewrite a story over and over again. Nonetheless, I love that he is tough because his strictness will only make me a better writer.

I enter the office and take a seat at Dan’s executive style wooden desk.

“Star, I just wanted to say that I love the story. I have sent it to the printers so that it will be ready for tomorrow’s run. You keep this good job up, one day you will have my position.” Dan praises me. I just knew that he had a trillion things that he would say that he hated about the article.

“I am glad you liked it.” I am ecstatic. Now, I don’t have to devote another minute of my life to that awful love affair and gaudy revelries to celebrate it. Being the editor-in-chief is a dream job but not my dream. I refuse to be stuck here in Millard. I am going to do everything in my power to make dreams of becoming a published romance author a reality.

“Since you did so well on that story, I have two more stories that I want you to cover. One is about a young soldier whose love story mirrors that of his parents that have been together 85 years. The other is a fun piece where you get to have a get together with some of the gals in Millard to discuss love and relationships. It will be a question and answer session. We are stepping it up and will have a videographer capture the event.” Dan tells me fumbling through some papers on his desk. The elderly man is always doing something. Dan has been here for 45 years. I am sure that he could most certainly retire if he wanted to.
