Monday was a pretty busy day. You could say it was a not a typical monday, but in my line of work I don't believe anything day is typical.
Started off like a normal day. Assignments are laid out on my desk, and then we get to work. My f

Apprently the wind picked up the back of the empty trailer and lifted it off the highway, so when the driver went to correct sent her off the side of the road. Unfortunately police say she didn't have her seat belt fastened, and was ejected from the cab.
When we got there they already had the white sheet up and were asking us not to take photos until the body was removed. Not a big deal. The media outlets just set up shop on the side of the road and chatted until the scene was clear.
Apprently the deputy handling the scene thought we were disappointed at thier request not to shoot til things were clear. He couldn't be more wrong. What amazes me is how he thinks the press just wants the bad pictures, the bloody images. I'm sure there are people out there who want to see this, however having worked in the field for some time you kind of get tired of it. I don't know, maybe I'm just a guy who has a heart.

My next assignment is at 2:00pm. It's an interview with the Sheriff. Everything was going smoothly until I went to hit record and my tape wasn't rolling. I ejected the carriage, and tried to remove the dvc-pro doomsday device with no avail. So luckily we had another crew just upstairs in the courthouse who came down to shoot the interview. I had to take the camera to the engineers who solved the problem so quickly I felt silly.
I guess you'll have days like this, I just hope I don't get too many of them in a week.
