Way to sell it, Michael

It's been a while since I've checked in on the blog musings of News10 assistant news director Michael Langley, whose posts often provide insight into the station's decision-making process. (No punch line: I like his offerings.)

So, what do I find this week from Langley?

Well, on Monday, he blogs about the fatigue of working (at least) an 11-hour day.

Excerpt:

Now I'm here at 8pm just trying to finish up things I needed to do. Today things. Not projects or anything like that. I have no idea if your job is the same. If so, now you know YOU'RE not alone. Dang. (Sorry, this post had no value as a window into a journalism world but I had to vent to you.)

Then, the very next day, Langley posts a blog entry titled, "Want a job?" News10 apparently is looking for an assignment editor and a planning editor.

Hint to applicants: Be ready to work at least 11 hours a day and to go home dog-tired. Then again, you will be "committed and connected" to the community - or, at least, to the newsroom vending machines.

After all, the unwritten rule is: You can't leave work until after the boss leaves.
