The Freelance Life: Now That's What I Call Editing!


Is working at a successful men's magazine the measure of a true "editor"? I think not! While some of you were busy cutting pages and having health insurance, I went through through my menu collection and weeded out the ones I don't need anymore. That's more rewarding than catching a mistake on the Van Dykes any day of the week!

Condolences to Peking Chef, Doo Zo Sushi, Havana Central and the dozen or so other establishments that didn't make the cut. It's not your fault. When a man's delivery range changes, he's forced to make some difficult decisions.

Your experience of last week hasn't seemed to affected you in any way. Think of all those unemployed editors, designers, researchers, photo depts, marketeers in the menu industry. You heartless bastard!

i was pretty sure that losing your job meant you should be cutting back on your delivery expenses.
