Text of the page (random words):
as often as i ve been in that courthouse for the last six months it has been once a week covering small county meetings they seem to know i m not someone out to stab or shoot anyone and let me go not tuesday on tuesday i went to the courthouse for a meeting with small county officials i put my purse on the conveyor belt and walked through the one deputy said you re good lisa go on through the other deputy the one looking at the screen said are you carrying a jack knife in your pocket book or something that looks like one uh no look at me i m a hobbit resembling 30 year old mother with no tattoos or piercings on odd areas of my body what use would i have for a jack knife maybe it s my cell phone i said i don t think so the deputy said frowning at the silhouette on the screen i leaned in closer for a look my purse is packed with all kinds of odd things i m a woman i m a mother i m an unorganized pack rat ummmm i m not sure i pulled open the zipper rather reluctant for the deputy to see the inside of my cluttered purse i pulled out my folded up glasses could this be it no don t think so the deputy said solemnly take out your cell phone and we ll run it through again i did he did he seemed satisfied the second time around that i was not attempting to smuggle some kind of weapon into the courthouse your good he said i thought well duh i m just a boring reporter i m not here to kill anyone or anything except any dreams i might have had of becoming a real journalist someday leave a comment feeling the tension waiting for court to start posted in reporter s life by small town girl on june 10 2008 i hate court assignments those assignments where i have to sit with the family members of the accused scratching in a notebook while they glare at me knowing full well i m a member of the media which demonized their loved one on this day it was a preliminary hearing for a guy whose brother had stabbed and almost killed another man the accused stabbers nickname is rat how fitting he stabbed the other man three times in the back and tried to say he wasn t trying to kill him yeah right why did he stab him it is a fairly confusing story let s just say the stabee thought the stabber had shot a bb gun at the stabee s uncle and came to confront him anyhow rat s brother who we ll call billy bob because that is the most redneck name ever except for jim bob was going before the local judge to determine if there was enough evidence to send him to trial for helping his brother hide the would be murder weapon and the bb gun allegedly used to shoot at the uncle of the man who was stabbed the victim despite losing a portion of his liver suffering a collapsed lung and having his kidney lacerated which left him peeing in a bag for a good long time survived the attack and here i sat in a very small waiting room outside the court face to face with people who hate the place i work for because we had the audacity to repeat information provided to us from the police in this particular case information came out that the accused stabber ummmm well we will use the word the police did in their report defecated himself it wasn t my doing i didn t write it i kept it out of the original story because i didn t feel the information was pertinent for the story during rat s preliminary hearing this information came out again and another reporter wrote about the defecation incident don t know why don t care why none of my business the only problem now was that i was going to have to deal with the consequences by having family members of this rat scowl at me while we waited for the hearing to start sometimes family members aren t sure if i m from the paper the notebook is usually a give away usually they don t say anything to me they just glare and scowl and whisper obscenities amongst themselves it s a real relaxed situation ha ha i did have a family member talk to me once she told me how upset she had been having her grandsons photos on the front page in handcuffs both of her grandsons had been accused of setting fire to several abandoned buildings sending volunteer fire fighters flying out and risking their lives for pretty much nothing and she was offended if you ask me having their photos in the paper were the least of these idiots worries i bit my tongue and told the lady i hadn t taken the photo and i had made the decision to put the photo on the front our conversation ended rather quickly after that so here i waited tuesday morning in a court waiting room with scowling family members all of us waiting to see if this case will go before the judge or be waived on to a higher court either way i don t care in another month i hope to be out of this job in another facet of this newspaper world where i ll be scowled and grumbled at by people whose wedding announcement didn t go in on the day they wanted it instead of elderly grandmother s of accused arsonists ___ want some real laughs go here now leave a comment the aye guy and the repetitive reporter posted in reporter s life by small town girl on june 6 2008 this was originally published here last week one of my responsibilities at small town newspaper is covering our county government meeting once a week this is about a 20 minute drive from where i work most of the time the drive isn t worth it ok pretty much all of the time it isn t worth it every once in awhile a funny story come out of the meeting recently an older man has been attending the meetings i don t know him from anyone i m imagining he is a very nice man however he has an annoying habit that only one that would be me who is completely burned out on their job would be bothered by he sits in the back of the meeting room and seconds before the board members say aye after the statement all those in favor say aye he says aye in a soft yet still audible voice he s not on the board mind you he s not in county government at all that i know of i have yet to have the urge to whip around and tell the man to shut up after all it is his business if he wants to say aye when he doesn t need to i do however have to resist the urge to giggle at each aye he utters i have no idea why i have this urge just do as if this occurrence isn t giggle inducing enough there is a reporter who attends the meeting from our competitive newspaper who makes you want to laugh and cry and scream all at the same time first the physical appearance about 6 1 dark hair glasses that always fall off his nose and he has to push up super skinny big baggy dress shirt he is always tucking into his big baggy pants head down most of the time and an attempt to not make eye contact most of the time i used to work with him i almost jumped out of a second story window once to get away from him fortunately or unfortunately whichever way you want to look at it the window was painted shut this particular reporter who we will call repetitive reporter repeats himself maybe ten times in a row rewording his statement or question a different way each time regardless of the rewording it is still the same question i m not trying to make fun of him he is a very nice guy and very bright he simply has a social tick that causes him to be unsure of what he has just heard so he asks the same question maybe four or five times to be sure he s heard it right in other words he is annoying those people who he interviews are even called five or six times in a row and asked the same question over and over yet in a different way to be sure it is answered the same way repetitive reporter could be called thorough but could also be called crazy annoying off putting and obnoxious question and answer sessions with him go something like this middle of nowhere county official we have decided to bid out the second phase of this project to see how much the total project will cost us repetitive reporter so what you are saying is you will be bidding out the second phase of this project to see how much the total project will cost us middle of nowhere county official yes we have decided to bid out the second phase of this project to see how much the total project will cost us repetitive reporter in order to see how much the total project will cost you are bidding out the second phase right middle of nowhere county official if they already know repetitive reporter and are used to him yes reporter nerd you have that correct don t worry it s right if they don t know him yes repetitive reporter you got it ok don t ask me again i deal with repetitive reporter weekly and he makes half hour meetings hour meetings many times he makes you want to shove a sowing needle through your eye socket just to make it stoooop this week middle of nowhere county official asked repetitive reporter and i if we would like to see the progress in the county courthouse dome restoration project we say sure and proceed to the elevator where we are told by middle of nowhere county official that we will have to climb a tiny little ladder to get to where the work is being done he informs me very politely that he d like me to go last since i am wearing a skirt i never wear skirts on this day i wore a skirt because all my pants were dirty repetitive reporter proceeds to creep me out by laughing like one of those stereotypical nerds on some 80s sitcom family matters for example and saying you can go ahead of me snort snort i won t look snort snort middle of nowhere county official pauses pushes the button on the elevator and says and we re going to end the conversation right there and we did thank god check out

when i would ask 50 different questions during an interview for the paper there was a time when i would think of all the interesting ways i could take a photo for the next days paper there was a time when i actually cared what board members were talking about at a meeting there was a time when i wouldn t think while the man was talking about the charity food program for underprivileged children if their parents would buy food for them instead of beer and cigarettes the rest of the community wouldn t have to feed these kids don t ya think there was a time i would get back to the office and eagerly write my stories excited to be contributing to the community there was a time i d rather be writing for the paper than blogging for no one in particular there was a time when my name being paged on the phone didn t send shivers of frustration rushing up my spine wondering who is going to yell at me next for something they are quite sure i screwed up for them there was a time i didn t mind that i was invited to events get togethers or mom gatherings simply so i could be used to write a story on the event not because they really wanted me there or wanted to get to know me there was a time that i loved this job i can t remember that time very well it is fuzzy and hazy and waaay back there or waaay down some portal of time travel i don t think i ll get back there any time soon

photo why was she offended well apparently this young man who you can not see the face of served in iraq and afghanistan i offended the entire family by not showing his face in my attempt to be artistic i showed him from the back and focused on the monument he was guarding and as a result i offended the entire family according to this woman my co worker did not transfer the call to me saying she thought the complaint was ridiculous and unwarranted with all the other crisis situations and tragedies going on in the world this woman was offended by an attempt to be slightly artistic you know what you try to do something nice and the thanks you get in this job is a spit in the face which may be why i m ready for a big change here are some of the other photographs i took that day from the front i m sure i ve yet to receive the call of all the other offended people who wished i had taken photos of their loved ones from the front tagged with newspapers offended readers photographs work 4 comments wince ok that was awkward posted in reporter s life by small town girl on may 29 2008 there are a lot of awkward moments in my job i m a reporter for a small town newspaper if you forgot anyhow i was taking a photograph of a check presentation which we call a grip and grinner today and the young man an eighth grader was accepting some scholarship money he happened to have the same last name as a long doctor the woman presenting the check says so are you dr so and so s son yes but i don t have any contact with him the kid says no hostility in his voice just a matter of the fact statement can you hear the crickets chirping i could aaaaaawkward yikes i saw some more aaawkward things right here leave a comment unsolicited sex story not mine posted in reporter s life by small town girl on may 29 2008 sometimes you simply don t want to know ya know but still the other person keeps on talkin and talkin and talkin this happened tuesday and though it did not directly involve me i was able to witness the oddness of it all i often seem to witness the odd in life what s up with that anyhow a group of about 15 high school seniors were visiting the local assisted living facility tuesday to garner advice from the elderly residents i was there to take photographs for the local paper they were all sitting casually in a nicely decorated dining room it seemed to be going well but before long the scene became ugly very ugly the students asked the residents what they had done after high school if they had gone to college what activities they had participated in during high school what type of music they had listened to in their youth etc it was going fairly smooth and then little italian lady i call her this only because she kept saying we re italian you know spoke up she had been talking about curfews and her father who was a real gentleman then somehow she got off track back in the day all the italian woman owned boarding houses she said my grandmother owned one and my father stayed there that s when he saw my mother she was 12 i glance at the students and one of the girl s eyes widen to the size of saucers and she looks at a student next to her and then catches my eye i can tell she and i are thinking the same thing oh crap where is this going he told my grandmother that he wanted to marry her daughter said little italian lady but my grandmother said she s only 12 my father said he didn t care and if she didn t agree to let him marry her he d kid...
