Timmmmmmmmm!
Hello wonderful journalists,
Tim Janicke, the J-School's beloved photo j teacher took a jaunt through Kansas these past few days to visit some of his former students. Abby and I were on the ass-end of his trip. I was on the phone with (I am so important) Sen. Pat Robert's office, because after my two week lull following the murder trial, shit is starting to happen. You could even call it a shit storm ... So Tim comes in and I waved like a mentally challenged 2-year-old when I saw him all the meanwhile trying to take notes. As soon as I hung up, I yelled 'Timmmmmmmmmm!' Our newsroom is open so everyone can see who comes in. Abby and I took him on a tour of our expansive, multi-floored newsroom.
Not really. The Daily Union's building used to be a Safeway grocery store. The Montgomery family bought it and fixed 'er up real nice. The entire newsroom is open (which sucks when you just want to cuss out your 90's Mac but a nice farm family is up front trying to put in a classified for puppies). It keeps you civil. There is a funny Adam Pracht story that deals with this situation. Those of you who know Adam are likely chuckling and imagining what sort of social awkwardness Adam got himself into. ANYWAY, the newsroom doesn't have freakishly cramped cubicles or low ceilings like many professional places I've visited. It provides adequate space to sniper someone with rubber bands.
We took Tim to the press because it just started its run. I imagine that to Tim, ex-photo editor at The Kansas City Star and current editor of Star Magazine, our Lego press was the size of the one that produces the toilet paper Star editors use to wipe their asses with.
Tim then sat down to try and jazz up our two photo computers. One of these things is like the Macs we used to play Oregon Trail on in grade school. Tim found it humorous that we use Photoshop 4 on it. It was reassuringly familiar to watch Tim sit down and mumble to himself as he tried to fix the computer because I've seen him do that so many times in class and in the Kansan newsroom. It was sad to see Tim go, but I love that he took the time to visit us. I love Tim!

But the real question is if you had drinky-poos...

They did not have drinky-poos. And AKS really did look like a retarded freak, flailing her arms around waving to Tim. — Donovan
Shut it Atkinson. I can't contain my glee for Tim Janicke! No drinky-poos. Tear ...
