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.

	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)

	Can we make it an hour? I still have to will myself to try the portkeys out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	An hour's fine as well, they really aren't as terrible as people say, I quite like them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I just got used to my brother being what he is, portkeys are a new thing to get used to, so yeah, see you in an hour. (Reply to this) (Parent)
