My peeps

This is the first picture I've taken of my "work family," the AL copy desk. I've spent most of my waking hours with these people, for almost two years now, and it's a great group. We work late into the night, make jokes about all the stupid people who find their way into the paper (inflatable doll sex in the bathroom, anyone?) and generally have a good time, or at least I do.

After two years at my last job, I was ready to bolt. Actually, it only took about nine months. True, there were things I liked about it, but the low pay, lack of vacation time and crappy management really started to get to me.

After two years here, I still enjoy going to work – most of the time, anyway. So much so that I'd be almost scared to go to a different job, because I don't know if it would be as enjoyable.

So basically, I love my work family!
