Good question.
It was lost in a pile of irony the last two months.
See, a few weeks before I launched The Newlybed, I took a job at a luxury travel startup. The recession decimated the luxe travel industry and that, my friends, is what prompted the owners of the company to shut it down in mid-March. Their decision was telegraphed long before that, meaning that there wasn’t that much to do at work. Except blog, of course.
And there you have it: when you’re working at a company that’s sinking, you can afford to spend your days writing pithy posts and reviewing raunchy research. But when you’re looking for work, sparing the hour it takes to craft a column seems wasteful.
But, this morning, I accepted a new job. And The Newlybed is back!
