Omega Editorial #2 - May 28, 2008

WELCOME TO THE DAVE SHOW
This is officially the first paper of my reign as editor-in-chief of The Omega. Please, hold your applause.
I instituted very few changes in this first issue.
We’re trying a classifieds section (p. 9). It’s really small right now, but if you have anything you want to get rid of, let us know. Hopefully the section will grow over the summer.
That’s really the only new addition in this month’s content. My reasoning is, “If it ain’t broke, etc.”
And of course we hired a completely new crop of wide-eyed young go-getters to fill our various editor positions. I can’t wait to break their collective spirit.
Check out their stuff this month. If you don’t find it to be of the highest quality, let me know. I’ll make sure they’re punished. Severely.
Getting rid of the various scoundrels and vagrants that constituted last year’s group of editors was something that I’d been looking forward to for months now. Now I just have to air the place out. It literally reeks of failure.
I’m kidding, of course. I loved all of my co-workers last year and most of them have gone on to bigger and better things.
Pete Lucarotti is now living in the bustling metropolis of Grande Prairie, AB. Alexis is in the process of moving to Edmonton, and Ben will be doing the same at the end of the summer. Who knew northern Alberta was such a hot spot?
Landon’s still around, working some incredibly high-paying job on campus. He even helped me with the sports section this month. What a guy! And he’s single, ladies.
All I have left to do is to figure out how to sign off at the end of these “editor’s notes”.
Jen went with “Ta”, which is OK for her, but it’s just not my style. It seems a little effeminate, and despite what Lucarotti might tell you, I’m all man.
This is honestly the question that has been plaguing me all month. What do I say? “Bye” is too obvious, and I’m not one of those guys who can get away with “Ciao” or “Cheers”.
I guess I’ll try a different one each week and see how each one fits. Kind of like how I handle the ladies...
