You live and you learn -- or you don't live long.

Being an editor is hard work, and I'm sure that most, if not all, of the editors at The News Record can agree with me. I spend hours pouring over articles, struggling to learn html codes and learning the ins and outs of how a newspaper truly works.

In addition to being completely out of my element, I am a newbie. The minute I start to feel like I am getting the hang of things, a wrench is thrown into the mix. I sheepishly ask for help by yelling the name of the closest person, which happens about every 20 minutes.

I do love my job, although I don't enjoy every minute of being confused and red in the face from embarrassment.

Luckily I'm surrounded by a supportive group of editors. I love everyone at TNR. They are hilarious, intelligent and driven. I couldn't ask to be surrounded by a better group of people.

I'm pretty sure I'll be receiving a lot of grief for the above statement. Or maybe a pie in the face. Now I'm just asking for it.
