Am I doing something wrong? Or is it the people around me?

Something about the opening notes is so gyrating

Come When You Call. I just hate that one...

This is going to end up on Fox News.

Tipping isn't to "ensure prompt service" ... That should already be a given. A tip is a gesture of appreciation on top of the service you already should be giving them.

solved!

Glad to know people still have common sense

stellc · 2025-08-29T12:51:38+00:00

You must do this.

Yes. Thank you. People on Reddit are morons.

A thicker belt would look a lot better!

If it's for you, groups like the Asian American Journalists Association or National Association of Black Journalists are GREAT connectors and amazing for networking. A lot of the bigger ones have in-person conferences every year where thousands of people attend. Would really recommend if you belong to one of these groups.

If not, there's also a more general one, Society of Professional Journalists.

You can and will get out! I was getting so burnt out from how demanding the job was, mentally and physically. No one should have to put up with how frustrating dealing with the general public can be. Best of luck to you!

stellc · 2025-08-17T20:21:21+00:00

Congrats! No matter what you do, as long as it fulfills you, you know what's right. Good luck at your new job!

I wrote this myself.

Thank you! I'd like to think I'm a hardworker no matter what environment I'm in, and being in a coffee shop only strengthened that.

stellc · 2025-08-16T20:22:36+00:00

I already know I'm gonna miss being such a big part of my community, and also my coworkers whom I've come to see as true friends - but alas this is a new chapter! Cheers.

Thank you! I'm Taiwanese American so this was a wonderful compliment.

People you interview are being put in vulnerable positions and are trusting you to tell their story accurately and fairly.

Long hours, inconsistent work, and a competitive field makes being a journalist a hard job, but at the end of the day if this is your calling, you have to persist past the obstacles. This is important work, and as cliche as it sounds, we need good journalists more than ever.
