After I left the Shenandoah Valley，my next job was in Rocky Mount，North Carolina.I made $22,500 a year—and this was 2005.The two other fellow workers，also my best friends there，Travis and Jeff，were in their mid-20s too.Honestly，we’d come to Rocky Mount to leave Rocky Mount.We complained about our shop and admired The Charlotte Observer.We spent our time talking about what life must be like with a “real” career.What resources they had！Those who covered only one team didn’t have to proofread(校阅)．If we could just get to one of those places！Then we could go somewhere else!
Travis，Jeff，and I came together over our desire to part ways.We ate dinner together，went out to cover our games，and came back to help send the final pages to the printer by our 1∶30 a．m.deadline.On the best nights，we’d grab the news editors and copy editors and play golf in the parking lot.We all left there within a year，as intended.Travis finally landed a wonderful job covering the Pittsburgh Pirates.Jeff became well-known in the country working in NASCAR.Now he’s got his own media company that’s doing quite well.
Last week，Jeff and I went to a Charlotte Knights game，and he said something about Rocky Mount that I won’t forget.“I didn’t appreciate it then，yet honestly，when I look back，the fast pace，tough tasks and leisure activities probably made up the best time I’ve ever had in my career.N
