“A strong cup of coffee in the morning helps millions of people start their day. If you can’t function without one, you’re not alone. Across all professions, 20.32% of respondents said they feel a significant effect when they skip their usual coffee intake.
Could it be that the top drinkers in this year’s survey consumed more caffeine due to the high-pressure, thinly stretched nature of their roles?” - pressat

I’m told one should interact with fans on social media…
There is nothing like the anxiety of waiting for that feature story you spent months working on to finally hit the website. It's the best and worst feeling.
Sometimes, my job is interviewing senators or covering presidential visits. Sometimes, it’s looking at dead livestock dumped in the desert in 100+ degree heat. I never know for sure what a day might bring. #PartyLikeAJournalist
Do people watch? Are these discussions valuable? I always wonder. In this instance, three of us discussed #immigration and the end of #Title42: two journalists who report at the border and an immigration attorney.
Are these shows valuable and how would we know one way or another?
It also amuses me because in my personal life, I am not someone to whom anyone tends to listen. But I go on TV and pretend I'm someone who has things to say that people want to hear. Ha ha.
As a friend, I would warn people not to post on social media or even touch their phones right after receiving momentous news.
As a reporter, however, I love it when people post impulsively. This story hinges on a rage-post that was subsequently abbreviated. Otherwise, the parties were close-lipped.

I don’t know if this was “unreasonable,” but back at the Las Cruces Sun-News I was assigned to interview the elderly owner of a historic dive bar here in southern #NewMexico.
When I got there, she sat with me at a table and said if I wanted the interview I’d have to do tequila shots with her. The shot glasses were brought out promptly.
I’ll say this for #Buttigieg and his staff: I asked for an interview or at least a question and follow-up. “You’re talking to local TV, how about a question for us?” They were hustling him off to his next thing. Told me they might call me while they were on the road. I figured it wouldn’t happen. They could have blown me off easily. Damned if they didn’t call me from the car and give me an interview. (And I actually asked infrastructure questions.) #journalism #partylikeajournalist
Winds have been 30 to 50 mph for three days with gusts up to 70 and dust storms.
Supposedly, the topic of discussion is going to be infrastructure.
On Tatooine I guess.
I may dress as Ben Kenobi and issue warnings about sand people.
Me to the out-of-town reporters: “Hello there! Beware the sand people!”
I'm going to go back to work next week and my #mujschool students are going to ask how I sent my fall break. My answer: building a presence on Mastodon. #partylikeajournalist #partylikeaprofessor #journalismmatters
