It warms my heart that in difficult times, someone can get a buyout while taking another job.
Also, will he join with the rest of AP's crack(ed) business staff in sending out plenty of static building photos to go with the business stories? After all, nothing illustrates big business like the photo of a building!
"Buyout?" What's that? I'm "blessed" to work at a small paper in a profession that acts as if its talented professionals are lucky to be paid anything at all. Take a look at the small papers. We're starving here.
