Yeah, for the Daily News.
Oh, gosh.
Yeah.
It was fun.
It was fun.
Journalism was so much fun then.
I'm so blessed that I lived during that time.
It's like robbing Peter to pay Paul the whole time, practically.
I mean, I had my car.
I was out on a story covering prisons all over Florida, driving in the hinterlands of central Florida, going to prisons, and I get a phone call that my car is repossessed.
You know, I bounced so many checks.
It's so embarrassing, really.
But I myself was a single mother with two children.
And at the time, it was the real downturn in the newspaper business.
People were getting laid off.
I had my pay cut, you know, over $25,000 a year.
My pay was cut and furloughs on top of that.
So I don't know.
I really look back and wonder how the hell I did it, really, to be honest with you, because it was a real struggle.
Yeah.
