I needed a job. A straight job, that could provide me with any kind of stability. Badly. So when I saw a Craigslist posting for a Web Editor position — something with which I’d had some experience — at National A-1 Advertising (an almost comically innocuous moniker), I sent off my stuff and hoped for the best. Not long after, I got a call to come in for an interview. I was ecstatic — I’d been living on mac and cheese for so long, I would have jumped at any job, pretty much. I put on a shirt and tie and got ready to go back on the grid.
