Because it is [I]soul destroying[/I]. I've just finished typing up a summary for my editor regarding the minutes of the last meeting of the town council. One of my notes reads “Mrs Wedgwood of Howey Lane made complaint about next door neighbour using her bins.”
I freelance for a few of the local newspapers in my area, as well as being a member of my uni's journalism staff. It's pretty fun actually. I'm the "best" editor, or so I have been told. I don't know what makes me that, but other staff members would always say "Give it to <name withheld>, he's the best editor here." We also have a fair deal of inside jokes. For example, when we got a new member, the first time the editor-in-chief asked him to do something, he said "Man fuck that, you ain't the boss of me. You ain't my mother." Her response was "I am the boss of you." Since this caught on, we all bought her a shirt and a mug for her birthday that says "I am the boss of you." It's pretty great.
