Day Tripping

I'm on the day shift now at work while one of my co-workers covers the Janet Chandler murder trial.

Chandler was gang raped and killed in 1979 in Holland, and her body was dumped on a freeway turnaround in a snowbank. The case broke open more than a year ago and now four people are on trial for the death (two have already pleaded guilty). I recommend you check out The Sentinel Web site -- it has a special link to the history and trial -- at www.hollandsentinel.com.

Anyway, while my co-worker covers the trial, I'm working days Tuesday through Thursday, and night Friday and Saturday. So, I see what the day-side folks do and, well, let's just say it has been an eye-opening experience.

One of my night shift co-workers got mad at me about something last week and called me a "day-sider." Now that hurt!

So, needless to say, I'm frazzled, tired, irritable, prone to typos and falling asleep on the toilet (and you needed to know that?).

And, Jayne discovered a virus in our computer that knocked it out for a day or so. I think it's still a threat. I may be the cause of it -- I've been hitting some family history and cemetery sites in my research, so those might be the carrier. Or maybe it's the porn sites. That's research, too. ...

Thought: Go Bills!
