Newspaper Deadline Blues

gotta find a willing interview subject... gotta find a willing interview subject... gotta find a willing interview subject... gotta find a willing interview subject....

I've been through Subject A (publicist won't get back to me), Subject B (left message), Subject C (band cancelled date in my town), Subject D (listened to whole lecture, dreading hours of sifting through tape recordings to create mediocre newspaper piece), Subject E (editor wants to contact subject for future front page story himself), and now am on to Subject F (struggling to come up with suitable questions before even trying to contact subject).

And now my dad is coming to visit and my daughter wants to talk.

(long sigh and another cup of coffee)

You should just make up a fictitious person and totally improvise it! Nah, better not lose your job!
