One thing that I do not miss about my old life as the head writer for The A.V. Club was the stomach-churning anxiety I used to experience just before doing an interview. This was particularly pronounced if the interview was in person.  And, on the very rare instance that I found myself doing an in-person interview with someone who was promoting a movie or book or album that I deeply loathed it could be excruciatingly awkward.

As part of that, I spent an afternoon with paper, pen and a calculator to calculate an infographic that spread across ~10-12 pages.
