Well, spring break is over and I am preparing for another issue layout. This will be a challenge since everyone has been in relax mode for a while now and it is time to get back to work. For some it may be easier with the extra week, but for me it is really hard because I drove to TX for spring break. It would be nice to have relaxed some over the break, but I did the opposite.
The last issue was almost ruined because the day before the paper was delivered, the parking lot predator was caught. Our front page was changed last minute for the breaking story, and then just before it was ready the man was caught. So despite our efforts to get something really newsworthy out there, we were basically a day short. Either way it was a great effort and taught me some important lessons on last minute type changes and the challenges that go with it.
