“You’re a problem, Jennifer. You’re a problem because you’re too blunt and direct for girls, too smart and independent for most guys and too damned annoyed with stupidity and incompetence to just shut the fuck up and get along.

Every day, Jen Gerson tries to avoid causing too much trouble as she hacks it in the word mines of the Calgary Herald. A general assignment reporter by birth, she spent her early twenties and the better part of a once-healthy liver at the Toronto Star, Globe and Mail and the National, a newspaper in Abu Dhabi.
