cichowski
Just like cops out working "the beat' (as they call it), news crews also drive around all partnered-up and hitting the city streets. But, rather than the good cop/bad cop thing, our team consists of reporter/photographer.
Back in Portland, I'd usually arrive in the newsroom and find out whatlens meat reporter I was partnered-up with for the day. But at my new place, the teams are somewhat-permanent, so I work with the same reporter each-and-every day.
Her name: Marla Cichowski, nightside reporter.
Now, I think we've properly bonded. We both share a fondness for Schlotzsky's Deli. We've even been in a harrowing, near-death-sliding-on-ice-down-a-hill experience together. Stuff like that. But, what do I really know about Marla?
In the interest of getting to know her better, I sat down with Marla Cichowski and had a quick chat. [She was locked in a moving news rig, but same difference]:
At that moment, I had to hang out the window to activate the security gate. And seconds later we got out of the car, signaling the end of the interview.
Later I decided to continue the interview in the newsroom, after giving her time to let my questions properly 'sink-in':
She then went back to work, writing her script. I concluded that this probably wasn't the best time for annoying questions. [And, believe me: they were probably annoying]
Besides, I guess I know her well enough anyway - we've been working together for just over 2 weeks. People in reality shows don't even know each other that long and they're always crying their eyes out and blubbering about soulmates, and backstabbery and all that crap.
What I don't know about my enigmatic partner, I'll learn in time. But, I'm already convinced thatI'm willing to take a bullet for her it'll be fun working with her.

Marla, I'm going to interview you now.
Um..all right.
So, Marla what are your hopes and dreams?
Is this a joke?
No. This is the interview. I'm going to say "I sat down with Marla Cichowski and had a quick chat or something like that."
Um..what is this for? You're not going to publish this on the internet or anything...

I love the picture of Marla through the viewfinder, it captures everything that is...Marla.
Oh, and you might want to check your spelling...you have an extra "h" in "Cichowski". Polish people rule.
yikes. thanks.
I even tried to make sure i splled her name right, but I guess i was blind or something.
I can see the 80's style cop drama already: "Watkins and Cichowski"
Don't antagonize her too much or her newest hope and dream might be to whup your ass...and based on the first pic it looks like she could do it too.
Personally, producer OR reporter, if I had the headline gun barrel to my head, I wouldn't be able to answer your interview questions coherently (or nicely) either. Try asking her on the way home from the evening's live shot.
