So, had meetings with my respective editors today (four of them! Christ, didn't think there were that many magazines what all needed a gossip columnist) and they're all glad that I'm over whatever it was I caught after my vacation (that I still don't remember taking) and thanks to my lovely volunteers I've actually got a column to give them.

Going on a wing and a prayer for followup however. Who thought that making up gossip could be so taxing?

In any case, another call for volunteers, and for an assistant, I'm not the most organized person out there and could certainly use some help with fact-collection and disregarding.

	Wonderful! In what capacity? Would you like to be part of an article or help me with the post-it notes and index cards? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Since I have no clue what the articles are about lets go with post it notes and index cards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh! Of course. I'm a gossip columnist, freelance, for the most part, though still with deadlines, of a sort. I'm Rune. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hi Rune, and I am Lori. Well, I had a friend who was determined to be famous for spreading gossip, so I think I can handle the job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... I think you and I are going to get along just fine. Are you more organized than a guy who has different colors of index cards and post-its but never uses them for color-coding, rather just got them because they were colors? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sounds like the male version of Hillary. Yes, I am organized, I promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh good! I'm not entirely sure what the next step here is. Would you like an interview to make it official? Or would you just like the job? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're the one hiring me, what would make you feel better? We could meet for coffee, you could see that I am not an axe murderer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well even if you were I think it would make for a great article. Coffee though, coffee sounds nice and relaxed and official all at once. When's good for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now is, It's not like I am wildly busy. Where are you located? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now's good for me as well, I'm in London, there's a nice little cafe place not too far from where I am [address]. See you there in, say, a half hour? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lorissong 2008-11-16 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	Can we make it an hour? I still have to will myself to try the portkeys out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Huh, that's what the redhead always says as well, still not sure that I believe it. Even the strangest truth becomes fairly mundane after it's been repeated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps that's where I picked it up. I'm the redhead's. If we're referring to the same one. How would you figure out the truth? I could tell you, but it might scare you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Could be, he about yea-high? Smug as a cat that's gotten cream and canary and blamed it on the dog? Only one I know who's referred to as 'the redhead' aside from the puppet in that ride in that place that's run by the mouse. Anyway. Uh... I've managed to get lost again, this happens fairly often, bear with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
