MC-That could very well be part of the needed office equipment. It looks like Mark would be more than happy to dig the box out of storage and send it direct to Mookie.
Be sure Mark remembers to include in the box the spare batteries for the editorial Taser and cattle prods, the big bottle of Adderall for the writers, and the carboy of aspirin for Mookie…
Whoa! Back up. Missed that one. See what happens when you don’t log on for a few days?
Thanks for the thoughts, CW, but I’m tickled pink where I am. Besides, I’m WAYYY short on the knowledge I’d need to fill Mark’s shoes. I could spend the rest of my life doing nothing more than eating, drinking and breathing railroads, and still pale horrifically in comparison.
For those night owls who saw what was originally posted here, I still stand by those feelings. At the request of an old friend, I have edited this post. Let’s just say that I don’t find this topic funny.
Jen…If TRAINS does not secure your services as offered for TRAINS editor, why not pu***o write a column of the human fan angle as a monthly report…You sure could sparkle life into that for the fan side interests…!
Our senior editor is J. David Ingles, and he’s not going anywhere as far as I know.
Mark was our editor, Kevin Keefe is acting editor, and we’re still looking for our next fearless leader.
Matt Van Hattem is associate editor and master of wonderfully detailed features.
Angela Pusztai-Pasternak is our recently promoted editorial associate. She’s the delightfully pleasant voice you hear when you call our offices and incredibly capable woman who manages the relationships with our writers and photographers, plus so much more. In her new role, she’ll be taking on additional duties, including editing. In short, she’s going to be increasingly visible.
As for the managing editor, well, that’s me now.
Mookie, darling, as far as I’m concerned you can be whatever you like. We’ll just have to make sure the kitty plays nicely with my froggies.
Have thought this over and think you are right! Managing much of anything isn’t my forte. So maybe I will just apply as an overpaid, benefits ridden, golden parachute claused paperweight. New title of course - CEOess.
