Who says journalism is a lonely career. I logged on this morning and was greeted by the news that I have a follower!Jennifer Walker-Shannon has tied her colours to the Barry Newsdesk mast, so to speak, and agreed to follow me.
A Californian writer. She looks every bit as glamorous as she sounds too! Though I should also point out that she is married to a gentleman called Brett. Hopefully, this will assure Gill that our virtual friendship is purely platonic.
I wonder what Jennifer makes of the great public transport vs atheism debate? I know our American cousins can be quite religious, however, I also know that public transport leaves a lot to be desired in the Land of the Free!
Perhaps this is something President Obama will be looking to change during his tenure. He's probably got a lot on his plate, but he seems like the sort of man who will leave no stone unturned. Even if it means upsetting a few people.
I have yet to receive any feedback from the various editors whom I furnished with my piece on sexual harassment. It's early days, of course, and I'm not too downhearted. Particularly in light of the news that Jennifer (a published writer!!!!) is now following yours truly.
Perhaps I will go out into the virtual world and follow some other notable bloggers - in journalism, it is a case of who you know AND what you know!
I hadn't realized you gave me my own *shout out*... (I'm blushing!)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'm well-enough informed on the public transport vs atheism debate, but I can tell you as an agnostic and resident of Los Angeles, public transportation here is hellish. (Coming from many years in San Francisco, where public transportation is, well, heavenly.)
I'll see if I can recruit more followers for you... you're someone that needs exposure. :)

Thanks Jen. I love your public transportation similes. Having visited both LA and SF in the past, I would concur with your views.
ReplyDeleteGenerally speaking, SF seems to me to be a far nicer place than LA. So I'm confused that you moved. Maybe you'd had enough of trudging up all those hills!
