I took a semester (of around 12) off from our student newspaper while my roommate was the editor-in-chief. Drove to Ohio. Got home one morning at 4 and he was still awake, still dealing with the fallout after the paper used the phrase "colored people" in a headline. That, I think, is the worst thing that ever happened at any of my publications.
We had a great conversation, though.
Him: "You...aren't writing for the paper any more are you?" Me: "No." Him: "Where you been?" Me: "Ohio." Him: "Since...." Me: "Last week."

Things got better from that point.
