The Day I Left The Day Job

The day had finally come. All my life I worked in the newspaper industry. As a kid, I delivered a weekly shopper paper, then typed the classified ads and finally became trained as a graphic artist.

I later went to school for art. From there I became an art director at a Catholic weekly paper. It was one of my favorite jobs.

I got to be creative and worked my own hours with a key to the building. I only had to meet a weekly deadline. I used to love going in early mornings and leaving by 3 pm.
