Busy days…

So, I’m back without having internet at my apartment. I’m so busy at work that I really don’t have time to blog from the office (not to mention, I’m really not getting paid to blog, lol).

My second issue of Q-Notes as Editor will be coming out on Nov. 3. It has some great features in it. I’ll post snippets of the news for the Nov. 3 issue next week. Check out snippets from the Oct. 20 issue here and see the official Q-Notes site at www.q-notes.com.

Yeah… saying my first four weeks on the job has been “busy” is an understatement, I think. In those first four weeks I’ve been promptly ignored by press spokespersons of Congressional arguments, had an interview with a U.S. Senate candidate, got into an argument with a local LGBT leader and organization, been completely ignored by police and media representatives in Johnson City, Tenn., spoken with press people at Obama’s campaign and oh so much more.

Exciting, frustrating, upsetting, stressful but very rewarding.

When I was working to help get the Oct. 20 issue together, I felt really good about the job I did. Perhaps it was just because it was my first issue. During the days I was working on the Nov. 3 issue, I didn’t feel as confident. Although, I did feel a little better when the publisher and associate editor said I did a great job. We’ll have to see how I feel when the issue hits the news stands.

I promise, though, that sooner or later I’ll be getting internet at home and getting back to some of my usual haunts online.

Till then, talk to ya’ll later!

P.S. - If you are in North Carolina, don’t forget about the Equality NC Conference and Gala on November 3. I’ll be there moderating/facilitating the College Activism breakout session in the morning (I’ll be pulling double duty, as I’ll be there reporting on the event as well). Click the Conference and Gala logo here on the site and learn more about registration, etc.
