0:00.0 | What's your best? Fire me. I freaking dare you moment from work. Worked for a newspaper, |
0:06.3 | editing, and actually putting the paper together, arranging it all, placing stories and |
0:11.0 | pictures where they need to be, titling, quoting, and sourcing everything. I was a one-man |
0:17.6 | team and used an overly complicated system that I figured out how to use really effectively. |
