Overheard in the Newsroom

If you aren't following the popular Twitter feed reporting, or imagining, overheard conversations in the newsroom, you really ought to consider it. Just from the past few days at OHNewsroom:
Copy Editor: “Somewhere there are a bunch of foul-mouthed sailors sitting around saying, ‘You are cursing like a news designer.’”

Editor: “Even my piss smells like coffee.” Managing Editor: “That is disgusting.” Editor: “No… that is awesome.”

“I wish my passion was engineering.”

Photographer: “When news breaks, so does our equipment.”

Editor, regarding headline: “OK guys, this sounds gross, but I’m going to need to remove this colon.”

Graphic Designer: “Just face it, your computer is possessed by the devil.” Intern: “And the devil is addicted to porn.”
