The Third Shift

I work while you're sleeping. I've somehow managed to forge a career in journalism that's led me to the Pacific Northwest. Welcome to my little padded room. If you have a question, feel free to ask. If you like your observations in a pithier form, this twit Tweets.
Who I Follow

“Can you write this story on the Powell social worker so [anchor] can read it from the newsroom at 4?”

“We need you to put together most of this story in the 4 on the city’s emergency notification test for [nightside reporter] and she’ll come in and fill in a bite when she goes to City Hall later.”

“The package I did for your show’s been approved. Since you listened to the social worker interview, can you pick out a couple bites for that open I’ve half-written?”

“The mom of the dude shot by police didn’t even say her name though I know we’ve talked to her before. Can you find it and fill out the font for me, please?”

“Wait, you have all of your show done? I was gonna ask if you needed help after writing that stuff for me. You are an animal.”
