I miss putting together the paper on Wednesday nights in the basement (read: dungeon) of Piano Row. I miss Monday night staff meetings and critiques with Ric. I miss the uber-motivated and hard-working editors, writers, and photographers. I miss picking up the paper every Thursday morning. I miss dancing to the latest guilty pleasure when everyone takes a five minute (in)sanity break. I miss being known as PC (aka Politically Correct)...okay, not so much that one. I miss trying to think of raunchy titles for NIBs. I miss taking photos and editing them down to find the most dynamic image to accompany a story. I miss the weekly miracle of helping a newspaper come into being and knowing it was based on the work of my fellow Emersonians.
