This new beat has been going extremely well, at least for the two days that I have been doing it. I love the hours, sleeping late and working late is perfect for me. I’m close to the schedule I had at the Ev, except this time around I don’t have the guilt of skipping class. And it’s cool having my byline in the paper/online pretty much every day.

Also, the night has given me a chance to admire the building I work in. It’s different from newsrooms like the Spokesman that are in old buildings in the middle of downtown. The TNT office is very much like the Tri-City Herald, but on steroids. It’s pretty huge, I got lost the other day near the press/distribution. I was in a massive room in a maze of giant newsprint rolls. I’m sure the TNT building was designed by the same people who did the TCH and the Anchorage Daily News.

EDIT: I had some pictures, but I thought I read something in the company handbook about the subject, so I checked. Yep, the company “discourages” employees from using camera phones. So, I deleted them. Sry lol. But the building is awesome. There’s a huge, custom Dale Chihuly glass art thing in the foyer and a big walkway with massive banners that show newspaper “values.” For awhile I didn’t notice, but the place looks cool at night.

EDIT2: Here’s a picture of the Chihuly thing in the foyer. It’s large.
