Today was my first day as a 'dayside' photographer. From the way that everyone's talking to me about it...becoming a dayside photographer is like opening a magical box of wishes or something.

"You're working dayside now? Nice. Welcome to dayside!"

It'll be nice to have more time to catch-up on some computery-related stuff. And I'll be able to actually watch TV shows at the time that they're actually on TV. That'll be a change.

But moving to a new, much-coveted shift means leaving behind my awesome nightside peeps. And, Team Marla & JL has come to an end. We'll have some occasional random team-ups, but she's got a new photog now - and I've been thrown into general population (I've been watching Oz) with the other guys.



To commemorate our time together, I put together a little video of our adventures over the last few months. Every night when we drive back to the station, we listen to Technotronic's Pump Up The Jam and...well...pump up the jam.

Here's the clip:

It might look like we're screwing around, but after I edited out all the city/county council meetings and legistlative/educational stories, it was a lot shorter and more exciting. Think of it like Peter Jackson cutting out all parts of the Lord of the Rings where the Hobbits eat, sing about eating, talk about eating, or complain about not eating - that was like 4000 pages he didn't have to put into the movie trilogy.

Kinda like that.

What was I talking about again?
Oh yeah. Dayside.
It's not bad.
Today I did a story about a guy having a heart attack.
What will tomorrow have in store? Who knows?
