Check this out if you’re a blogger and you live in Sandy Springs. I’m not sure I’ve ever read an ad requesting an “experienced blogger” before. Regardless, it will be interesting to see what kind of blogger/writer the AJC hires. I’d apply if I lived there and probably emphasize my criticisms of the paper in the interview, comparing hiring me to being somewhat like the L.A. Times weekly feature where they publish people’s complaints about the paper’s coverage (which, I’ve come to understand, has been a constructive exercise).

Then the interviewer would say, “we don’t want to rock the boat, we only want to sway it gently from side-to side. A little. Like a gentle breeze.”

Then I’d say, “What kind of crackers are those on the table over there?”

Then she’d say, “Wheat Thins.”

Then I’d say, “May I have a few?”

Then she’d say, “Okay.”

Then I’d say, “These are delicious.”

Then she’d say, “We put them out this morning specifically for our interview candidates.”

Then I’d say, “Do you have any apple juice to wash these down?”

Then she’d say, “Unfortunately not, but we do have bottled water in the mini fridge over there.”

Then I’d say, “Well, I sure could go for some apple juice.”

Then she’d say, “Sorry, there’s no apple juice.”

Then I’d say, “There’s no apple juice in this entire building?”

Then she’d say, “I don’t know. Maybe in the cafeteria?”

Then I’d say, “Some investigative journalist you are. You don’t even know if there’s apple juice in the building.”

Then she’d say, “I’m not a journalist. I work in human resources.”

Then I’d say, “Psssh. Whatever.”

Then she’d say, “I am so!”

Then I’d say, “Are not!”

Then she’d say, “Am so!”

Then I’d say, “Are not!”

Then she’d say, “Am so!”

Then I’d say, “Are so!”

Then she’d say, “Am not!”

Then I’d say, “See, I told you so.”

Then I’d get up and leave.
