Thanks, everyone. I just hope I can, you know, do it and not screw up. Everyone there is younger than me by about twenty years, and the guy interviewing me asked "what vertical I was most comfortable writing," and I actually stared at him blankly for a minute.

But I'm pretty good at making stuff up, and I know how to pad anything to get 200 more words into it, so. Wish me luck!

And, yes, much luck to Sparky and Jessica!

Yay Amy!

what vertical I was most comfortable writing

I'm staring blankly too.

seriously. wtf does that mean?

Woooo, Amy!

Vertical = content area, no?

Ugh, "verticals" is one of my most hated industry jargon terms. It's one of those "let's take a perfectly good adjective and pretend it's a noun that means something else entirely!" things that just gets under my skin in the worst way. But good on you for getting the job!!

Woo, Amy!!!! YAY!

I have no idea what that means, either.

Woo, Amy! And much employment ~ma to those in precarious positions, or between positions.

THIS: "How to deal with a mansplainer starring Hillary Clinton in gifs" [link] is sheer genius frosting to that.

Seriously, watching Clinton deal with these fools was most entertaining. She is such a better woman than I. Rand Paul would be in pain today had I been sitting there.

Vertical writing? Whaat? But yay Amy job!

Congrats Amy!
