this is a little too close to hell for my comfort

[theladyrose]

Counterpoint is starting to become the closest I have ever been to hell.

Here's what's wrong:
1) We have one staff writer, and one back up staff writer. The back up staff writer can only write when we have no one else to write, and she can't write all the time. Everyone else, including the old staff from last year, has turned us down.
2) Nobody bothered to teach Canny, Caitlin, or me how to use the new layout program. I have to learn it by Thursday afternoon.
3) We have no working digital cameras. The broken ones are hidden from us anyway.
4) We have no tape recorders because the monthly hogs them all.
5) We can't get new equipment or training or anything because we don't have a single penny. The school refuses to give us anything.
6) The advisors do not give a damn about us. While I like both of the teacher advisors, they could try to help us out. We've asked Lynch for help and he doesn't do anything. Well, never mind. He took three days to finally unlock the Counterpoint office for us.
7) I haven't started to interview my people yet. Argh. I'll e-mail them right now.
8) Trilling's not helping us either. She ignores our pleas for asking her photography class to take pictures of us.
9) We have no photographers. But they're not as vitally necessary as writers.
10) Every other local school has a better paper than we do.

Someone, please take pity. We're going to have to shut down the weekly paper at this rate, and I don't want to have to do that.
