Musings of this paper's editor
One day I was a writer, the next day I was the editor of the nation's first successful, widespread community journalism newspaper--The Northwest Voice. Writing has always been my passion, and I had contributed upwards of 60 submissions before I became editor. Now, I'm basking in my good fortune and loving every minute of compiling what I believe are masterpieces of unpracticed, non-professional, straight-from-the-heart journalism.

A blog about News, Neighborhoods, and Family & Home.

Greetings, Northwest Voice.com users!

In a few days, you will notice a change to the site when you log-in using your user name.  In the spirit of innovation and incredible technological advancements (grin), you will now be the proud owner of a personal in-box.  I would go into detail about it, but most of you are pretty computer savvy and will have it figured out in no time at all.  For those of you familiar with MySpace or Facebook, this will seem familiar. 

Feel free to click around and become familiar with it.  I have had an advanced look at it, and it's very user friendly.  It should not affect anything about your submissions or friends, just makes things a lot more neat & tidy and easier to find.

Enjoy!

Dana

As many of you know, I This is spam on Mondays.  How do you feel about working at home?  Do you feel like you'd be successful?  Take too many breaks?  A long lunch?  Maybe even a nap??

I think the main concern most employers have is that an employee will slack off.  If given the freedom of being outside the watchful eye of the office, perhaps employers think that we won't do what is required for the job.

Not a chance!  I got more accomplished today than I would have working in a busy office with phone calls and visitors. 

I am here in the defense of all homeworkers!  I am fortunate enough to work for an employer who treasures family, so they like to make whatever concessions they can to keep their employees happy.  When The Voice hired me as the editor, I was told that I could This is spam (yay!), and so I do.  And, boy, let me tell you... 

Today after I took my daughter to school, I sat down to work...and I don't think I got up except to get a drink of water!  I worked both Fri. and Sat. night at the Jazz Festival, so I thought I'd work a little today and take the day off tomorrow.  GUESS WHAT?  No way, baby!  It's the finale of the prom issue this week...  I am having to assemble and collect and post all the prom pics that have been coming in the past couple of weeks  Thankfully, Debbie has been helping me!

Speaking of the Jazz Festival...did anyone else go?  It was a blast! I highly recommend that you go next year!
