I have been working for a local newspaper company for a few years now and I finally feel like I am moving up in the company. When I first started my job here, I was put in charge of typing out the Long Island personals. Not a very glamorous job, I admit, but it was a job and I had hoped to move up in the world before too long.

After about a year, I did move up. All the way up to the Long Island classifieds. Way more glamorous, I know. But, it was more hours and better pay. And, frankly, I was tired of hearing about all the divorced white females looking for companionship. I mean, who finds their soul mate by reading an ad in the paper.

I have just been promoted to the Long Island business directory. I actually really like this one, as it is not all office work. I actually get to go out and talk to local businesses and write short articles about new businesses in town. Who knows, maybe in twenty years, I will actually be writing the news.
