Plan B

Today was supposed to be the day that my blog changed. Unfortunately, my original plan got changed, and I seriously need to rant about it before my head explodes. So even though Plan A failed, I shall change my blog with a flimsy Plan B.

See, last week I wrote a column for my school's newspaper that was supposed to be featured on Wednesday. However, a timelier article was written and my column got pushed back until this Friday. Of course, I told this news to pretty much everyone that I know, from my journalism professor to my grandparents. This morning I picked up a copy of the paper, flipped eagerly to page 4 and saw...someone else's article. After much swearing and ranting to both my parents on the phone, I called my editor and left an impressively calm message. He texted me back a little while later and promised to call me between 10 and 11am. It is now 1pm, and I am still waiting for his call.

Now, I'm not an unreasonable person. I understood when my column was pushed back in favor of the timely article. I would have probably understood if my editor had bothered to tell me that my column wouldn't be published on Friday. The only problem I have is that nobody bothered to tell me anything. If somebody had bothered to explain, and if my editor had graced me with a call this morning like he promised, I wouldn't be so mad. Apparently that's just the way life works.

Hopefully my column will be published one of these days. And if not, the newspaper's supervisor will definitely be hearing from me.
