Well, the job is dreamy.

It's kind of beyond what I imagined, but

They just want me to submit ideas, such as the one that you mentioned, and thank you so much for saying that.

And then they either say yes or no, and then I go about it.

It's beyond what I thought was perhaps possible on February the 4th, which was the date of the...

bloodletting so you are creating your own schedule yes in a sense um i will i you know there's a possibility for example i said to them if you want me to go to an event and write something every day i know how to do that and i like doing that or if you want me to really think about feature stories you know such as approaching this world cup you know i've been looking at the the uh

I never say this word properly, but I know how to spell it.

I think you say it diasporas in the U S you know, such as little Haiti and Miami.

And, um, I was been looking at that and, you know, the, uh, the populations of, you know, immigrants in certain cities to sort of watch the world cup with them.

I've been thinking about that.

And, um, in, in a certain way, you know, we're trying to figure pinpoint how to, how to do that.

And so that kind of thing.

And then, um,

I do quite well.

Actually, I don't, because before the Washington Post I wrote,

for a website called Sports on Earth that was owned by USA Today and Major League Baseball together.

So, yeah, I don't feel – maybe the fact that if you're at an event at night, the editor will say the print deadline is this and this and this.

So there's more deadlines.

You know, there was a series of print deadlines through the night for –

You know, the papers that go way out and then the papers that are closer to the city and so on.
