I got published in The Consumerist SWEET!

kolemcrae · May 28, 2010

I submitted a LONG story and they actually published it. The strange thing? They never e-mailed me to tell me, I only noticed because of the HUGE amount of people going to my blog.

YAY!

This is me bleeding excitement, sorry.

I walked out in the middle of the sales pitch (which they called my interview) for a job like that. Everyone in the room watched me leave and stared at me like I was totally insane. I don't think any of the other interviewees (initiates?) realized quite what was being asked of them. Ick.

Oh my gosh, I read that article a couple of days ago. I thought it was very well done. Congratulations!

Congratulations! I used to read The Consumerist at work but haven't lately. Some weird and funny stuff there.

Congrats !

Congratulations, it was a good read.

Thanks everyone!

This had kind of inspired me. I wrote that on my own volition, which is a first for me. Sure I write short stories etc all the time, but this time I decided to do a news story/magazine article esque thing and someone actually published it. So today I'm going to work on another story (About street performers in Toronto) and hopefully keep this kind of thing up...

Good luck.

I just read your article and found it quite enjoyable! Congratulations. And hopefully you eventually heard from the editor to nail out the formalities!

Keep at it!

I really enjoyed your article, it reminds me of a job I had... selling chocolate bars door to door.. I work one 6 hour day, that was enough for me, becuase, essential like your job it was a lie. You never really made the "huge" amount of money.
