You gotta love Canadian politics!

Now THAT’S the way every campaign should be run! ;)  lol

I’ll actually be playing my part in the election coverage in this week’s paper.  I have to write a ‘campaign launch’ piece on an assigned candidate.  It is one of the more difficult ones I have to write, for lack of stats and info…but I’m sure I can dig something up.

I’ll have 8-10 stories published this week’s upcoming paper, on a range of different subjects, couple of front page pieces, and one exclusive!

Upon booting up my computer on my second day on the job, (after showing up with a box of tissues and my voice barely a whisper on the first day) I was told to grab my camera, because we had to go cover an accident.

After standing in the rain, feverish and snot-nosed for about 2 hours to get the scoop on how this vehicle ended up in the river (fortunately no one was injured) I sat back down to my desk to start typing madly before the adrenalin rush disappeared. 

I’ve got to admit, I’m enjoying it so far.  Not the part where I had to work my first weekend straight away, nor the part where I had to drive from one end of the county to the other to cover 6 events, and all beginner’s stress aside, including learning to use a new system, new software, protocols and the whole heaping pile of information that I’ve had to absorb in a short period of time, I believe I’ve risen to the challenges that came my way from the get-go. (Despite the fact that I’ve wondered what the hell I was thinking in accepting this job, once or twice already)

Well, that’s it for me tonight…ta~
