Laid-off Reporter Finds Solace in Coffee Stain

With all the “hold-on-to-your-effin‘-hat” we in the media biz have been doing lately, some of us are finding ways to cope. Folks in this office seem to be drinking more lately, which I didn’t think was possible; I’ve taken up gardening and fantasize about smoking cigarettes; and Laura is finding solace in reality TV.

But a journalist who was laid off last week is coping in a very different way: He wrote a letter to Romenesko explaining that he believes he saw the Virgin Mary in a coffee stain while cleaning out his desk after the big heave-ho. I don’t see it, but I get the sentiment. Sounds like it would have been a great story for the DMN’s Religion section.
