I just finished an eight-hour stint on the copy desk. The people who work at night are the ones who lay out our stories in the most attractive ways. They write the headlines and the photo captions. And they work very, very hard.
I just don't like it. I'm just not any good at it.
So I'm very glad that I'm a features writer. That, I'm good at. At least I think I am.
I appreciate all of our copy editors and I had fun working with the crew tonight.
Please don't ask me to do this on a regular basis!
About Me
- Sandra Okamoto
- I was born in Tokyo, Japan, in the Tokyo Army hospital. My father was in the U.S. Army and stationed in Tokyo where he met my mother. Like many Army "brats," I went to a number of schools before graduating from high school. In my case, I graduated from Columbus High School when we got transferred from Okinawa to Fort Benning my senior year. I then went to Columbus College, which is now Columbus State University. I graduated in 1975 with a degree in political science, and I've been working at the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer since I graduated. I tell people I have the best job in town.
