On April 11th 2009, I decided to work for one year as a freelance journalist. I have no other income except from what I write for publications. The economic pressure to get a part-time job is strong as my money runs out, and I'm a wicked procrastinator. Yet cheques do arrive once in a while...

Freelance Days: Overheard in the Newsroom

Have you heard of this? I don't know if non-journalists think it's as funny as I do, but Overheard in the Newsroom often makes me LOL. This one was so good:

Overheard in the Newsroom #1924

Reporter: “I’m going to go as a journalist for Halloween. All I need for my costume is an empty bottle of vodka and my shattered dreams.”

*LOL*

I'm a big fan of Overheard in New York and the related ones. There's also an Overheard in Saskatoon, (http://overheardinsaskatoon.blogspot.com, I think) but it's not updated very frequently.

Thanks Tyler. I did some searching, and there are many "Overheard in..." sites out there.

Sharifa! I wrote you an email.
