- All of this could be yours
Today is my last day as the Portland Mercury‘s valued news intern. There are going to be some substantially awesome size-11 shoes to fill when I go: do you have what it takes?
The news intern does research and writes real articles and blog posts. You should have some experience putting a news story together. You will get clips, exposure, and freelance pay on things that are printed in the paper. You will gain exciting friendships with the Mercury‘s awesome staff and even awesomer commenters. You will NOT get sexually harassed by Patrick Alan Coleman (See, Patrick? I wrote it in just like you asked).
If you think you could be what the Mercury needs, send an email to news@portlandmercury.com that includes:
* cover letter
* resume
* three published (print or blog) clips
* three ~100-word ideas for articles
I will miss you, Blogtown—stay in touch! twitter.com/angelar.
I once caught a Feebas off the port railing of the St. Anne that I named “Angelar.”
It was later eaten by Ruby, my shiny red Gyarados.
Does that mean you’re now Angela “employee” Webber at Mercury”? If not, I’m never reading the Mercury again! Evah!
You’ve been there like a month. That’s not even an internship.

Size 11 feet huh?
You know what they say about women with feet, don’t you?
*wink, wink, nudge, nudge, extrapolate needlessly*
You’re right, we *are* awesomer than the Mercury staff.
So long, and thanks for all the anarchist fodder.
I might try for this, if I can get a moment of sobriety
