OK, I`m getting really nervous about the whole culture editor for the summer-thing now. I just had a meeting today with the editor, wow, there is so much to do and remember! And none of the permanent culture journalists will be there, so I will have to make all the calls, remember everything myself, and get the summer temps to do things for me and not mess them up. I must admit I like the idea of actually getting to ask others to do things for me instead of being the one being asked. ;) And I ofcourse then get first pick of articles to write, since Ï will know about things first. Also good. Remembering a million things at the same time, not so good. They said today that they hope we can get someone to make the culture pages that has done it before (don`t know their title in English, the people who put the pages together when the journalists have finished writing). Because otherwise I will have to spend a huge amount of time explaining to them how to do it right, because the culture pages have a spesific set of colours, elements that are always the same, fonts and so on. Huh?? I have no idea about those things at all! I just write and enjoy seeing my articles in the finished paper, I have no idea how they did it.
And there`s a whole lot of arranging to do, negotiating the number of culture pages every day with the editor in chief, show up at editors meetings every day presenting the culture pages in a way that makes them want to put them on the front pages, getting freelance critics to send in their work and so on.

Still quite exited about it, but EEEK! Also very scared.
