Which isn't to say it went badly, it's just that it's fairly high stakes being a dream job and all. In the morning I was given the task of editing an interview. I've not done much editing really, and this interview was awful, I spent most of the morning carefully shifting bits about to try and make it like it should have been. I showed it to one of the editors and the said I had been far too gentle and I should have just started again.
Once I knew this I got on okay and I had it in a fairly reasonable form. This pleased them and the chap who would be my boss said it was good, especially given the source material.
After that I came up with some ideas for one of their regular sections, one of them got the nod so I chucked it together and sent it across. Again the boss seemed pretty pleased with it

Cow has sometimes when working for a new person, done the assignment twice two different ways.
Then if they say that your editing was too gentle (version 1) you can give them version 2 and see if they like it better.
Since this is a dream job and all might be worth the effort.
Moo!
Is that washing hanging up at the back of the office? It looks like an Italian street scene...
Ooh. This is so very thrilling to read, dream job and all!
(And while Clair thought it was washing, I was worried it was an alien spaceship that was sucking humans up some chute and that was why there was an opening...)
Cow - heh, I wish I was that cunning
Clair - No washing, just lots of stylish people flouncing.
BigBouquet - It's like this strange light in the middle of the room that is all bright and like day light, it's rather lovely actually.
