[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is probably not a secret BUT I worked in a retail store and we all pretty much had sex all over the place in there. [/quote] +1 in restaurants. Also, lots of drinking & drugs. [b]Journalism--probably 50% of the stories you read are advertisements in disguise. [/b] Child care--oh, Lord. Let's just say parents only see a TINY sliver of what goes on.[/quote] You've never worked in a newsroom. [/quote] You've never seen my resume. We gave lip service to separation of advertising & editorial, but when it came down to it, writers who made advertisers look bad didn't last long. And yes, 90% of what I wrote about was an advertisement of some sort--reviews, previews, community events, interviews, etc. I didn't always take a totally neutral or positive angle, but any coverage is advertising of a sort. My soul felt sold in that job. [/quote]
