Friday, June 26th

Well, well, well. It's been a little while! I took Wednesday off because it was my birthday (Yeah being legal!) and today was my first day back since Sunday...it's weird being gone for so many days. Last time I switched a Wed. I hadn't worked here very long so it wasn't weird, but I've been here for oh...a month or so now, so I have gotten used to my schedule.

Anyways...today has been pretty crazy, and I still have just over 4 hours till my shift's over. This morning I got the delicious job of hunting down info from a livestock fat and bone rendering plant to ask them about the hundreds of NE cattle that have died from the heat. I called the local plant, who directed me to regional, who directed me BACK to local. Then I called the headquarters, and I'm still waiting for a call back. Come ON - dead cows aren't that sketchy! THEN I called the Nebraska Department of Agriculture - Animal Industry branch PR lady, who said she knew nothing.

So that was a bust...then I got sent out on an outdoor festival thing, and as we were shooting that, we got a call about a body in a dumpster. So, I spent the next 2 1/2 hours behind a shopping center, in 91 degree heat, watching some poor lady dig around in a trash dumpster. Forensics isn't as glamorous as CSI makes it.

Anyways, I just got back. We'll see what else happens today. Hopefully nothing, so I can RELAX - I'm tired and my feet hurt.

A bientot. Tara
