Barfy Week

This week has been jam-packed and just....barfy. Yesterday my boss called in sick, so I manned the ship alone while news broke right and left, and we only have 4 reporters this week. Not to mention I had a headache that lasted all day, all through chorus, and all the way up until I went to bed. I had to wait in a long-ass line at the post office to pick up a package yesterday, and I hate going there.

Today I came in and there were only two people in the newsroom: my boss, and the clerk. There was a press release on the fax about a press conference at 11 a.m. (20 minutes from when I picked up the fax) at the sheriff's office, and being that there wasn't anyone around to cover, I got to play reporter today.

So I went to the sheriff's office and listened to the KTVU and KGO reporter kibbitz about how their stations have to share a helicopter on some occasions, and WHY was that, and how can such an agreement be made, etc. Then we had the presser, which was on a cold-hit rape case, and I came back to the office and wrote up the quick-and-dirty for the Web site. After that I spent another hour fleshing out the real story, then assigned the night cops person to attend the court arraignment. That took me up to 1:30, when I finally got to have lunch!

Oh yeah, did I mention I have cramps today? Yup. Perfect. They actually woke me up at 6 a.m.

Well, that's it. Just thought I'd stop by and bitch today. Tada!
