The CN Production Manager is the mascot at that site. What a doll!
ReplyDeleteWhat should be Crystal Palace's mascot?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but chuckle at the comment about dust bunnies.
ReplyDeleteI know that newsroom budgets have been cut to the bone. In Cincinnati, the condition of things like the men's rooms and the ability to replace things like cameras and chairs is just plain sad.
At our Wisconsin site, there's crud on the women's bathroom walls, one stall in each bathroom doesn't work, we have black crap on the ceiling tiles and many many water stains, and there's usually an odd, disturbing odor in the newsroom. Kind of like gas mixed with chemicals.
ReplyDeleteLarry St. Cyr or the blue ball on the 11th floor can be the crystal palaces mascot
