How My Meeting With Wick Just Ended

“You are the worst managing editor in America.”

As punishment, he refuses to fire me.

  1. I need to point out, Eric, that you omitted a swear word from Wick’s proclamation. And just to offer context, about a month ago, Wick called himself “the worst editor in America.” So maybe he was actually paying you a compliment.

  2. Finally, Wick said something smart.

  3. What letter did the swear word start with, and where did it appear in the proclamation?

  4. As a managing editor who also works for Wick, I applaud this news.

  5. I guess he’s stopped being distracted by Celeste’s sartorial splendor? Maybe try different cufflinks.

  6. Did you ever consider Wick could be dyslexic?

  7. Dan: Note that he didn’t say I was the worst M.E. in the building.

  10. If you’re the worst managing editor in America, does that mean you’re better than all of the M.E.’s in Canada and Somalia?

  11. I know Eric Celeste. Eric Celeste is a friend of mine. I’m offended, and I find it highly irresponsible for Wick to categorically assert that Eric is “the worst [expletive deleted] Managing Editor in America” — without some empirical data to support his thesis. It may very well prove true (and I wouldn’t bet against it), but Eric should be given the courtesy of the benefit of the doubt.
