How about your left hand?

I also do the weekly “It’s a Crime” column, which you can find in the back within the classifieds, the occasional “Blurt” in the music section, a monthly mini-interview with various local bands dubbed “Lists/Faves” and have a few other features in the bank, out in the future: from collecting Godzilla toys to the shuttle that goes out to Borrego Springs to the history of paperback softcore porn publishing in the 1960s-70s here in San Diego.

I would give my left arm if they asked me to write for them. Of course, I haven’t had anything dazzling to say lately anyway. LOL.

Could be she had to sign a confidentiality statement when canned — you know, “if you don’t sign this and agree not to talk about it, you won’t get this big severance check we’e offering.” Or her employment contract could have had a binding fiduciary duty clause, which many offices like that will have: you don’t make public what goes on at the workplace while employed or even after termination or resignation, or else you’ll get sued.

Or maybe it’s all rumor.

Lots of rumor and gossip in San Digeo.

I don’t see anything on her website, and cannot verify Kevin’s statement. She appears to be travelling at the moment. Her *next* website address appears to be diva barbarella dot com, for what it’s worth.

Wow, I didn’t know she was fired for that…did she write about it in her blog? That’s always a danger when writing about your workplace…

My blog won’t be a cover story, alas, but an interior feature.

She’s a regular columnist for them now, which is good, because apparently the law firm she worked for fired her after her cover.
