Um,
And for about two months, I didn't have a job.
And I was doing part-time working for one of the Clarion Ledger's new entertainment magazines they started putting out.
And it was basically, for the community, it was basically a phone book for bars and restaurants.
So it was like a directory.
And one of my jobs was just to call the bars and restaurants, get their hours,
and then write a summary of what the bar and restaurant was, especially if it was new or something.
And that's what I did for a couple months, and they paid me a certain amount for however many I could call and contact.
So yeah, it was a troubling part of my career, because I remember a lot of my parents were pretty concerned when I left the job, the job that I wanted to do and loved, and moved back for no job, basically.
And then I got pretty lucky when, yeah, the, the, there was a job opening at the Madison County Herald, which was like a, yeah, a offshoot sort of the Clarion Ledger that covered a bi-weekly newspaper that covered the suburban area of Jackson.
Yeah, another incredible learning experience.
You know, I'd covered high school in the past all the way back to my high school days, but I never covered it, obviously, for like a real daily publication until really that job.
I mean, when I covered Auburn, I covered high school too, but I wasn't as much the beat writer there.
So my full job at Madison County Herald was like basically high school sports in general.
And so I was the beat writer.
And I did do design.
I did design the newspaper.
Yeah, my section, my sports section, I designed as well.
It is amazing to me that, you know, I run into young sports writers sometimes.
these days in, um, some of them don't know how to keep stats of a football game.
