The worst typo I ever made is that I once interviewed an administrator for a news article, and I did misspell their names. Unfortunately, that paper was later recalled because it was too short. So a big part of why I joined The Voice was definitely for the community of supportive writers around me. I would say the ratio between doing work and gossiping is probably like 10 minutes and working to every hour of socialization in our class.
The weirdest excuse someone has given me for missing a deadline was they were taking a photo of a staff member, and they were editing the photo, but the person had severe baldness of their head, and the light reflected on it, and because it was so shiny, it blinded them. They weren’t able to see my deadline on the ladder and didn’t do their work. They say they are currently still recovering from this.
My most embarrassing article was the expose on the local huzz of Irvington as a humor article, and as I was daydreaming writing my article, I accidentally replaced the huzz’s name, which was supposed to be anonymous.
I definitely joined for the snacks.
The person I hate the most is Jeff. I have a lot of beef with him, he’s always missing out at the most important times, and we can’t ever seem to find him especially when we are doing important articles.
When the human interview is really boring I’ll spice up the comments. Before I upload the interview I’ll add a bit of pizzazz, say some out of pocket comments and hope that nobody notices.
My confession to the voice is… well, as a preface, I totally heard this is an anonymous confession circle in the back rooms. Someone told me that one time they cracked one of their camera lenses, and so they left it on the edge of the cabinet and closed the door so that when the next person who got it would fall out, they would get the blame. But again this was an anonymous confession circle, so the person who committed this heinous crime will never be known I guess…
