It was like the second or third day of production, and Amy had been hired as a brand new production worker. I was the managing editor and was in charge of the front page, and Amy on her first night was doing production for the front page.I went to the backshop and found the front page had a thumbnail-sized hole of white space in the middle of it. I pointed it out, and Amy said something like “I don't know, that’s what your dummy says.”
I pointed out to her that the dummy did not have any such a hole in it. We got into it a little bit, and eventually we figured out the source of the problem. She fixed it, but by then we were a little ticked off with each other.
So I stormed back to the newsroom, walked in and announced, "Who is that new girl in the back shop? She is such a –" and here I used an unkind word that I would no longer use about her. A year and a half later, we were dating. Almost four years later, we were married.
