Say Hello To The New Guy

It was bound to happen sooner of later. The Senator would have to kick the tires on the new guy, Andrew Micheals. What formed this combo was this equation in newsroom math: 5 reporters(-1 for high profile court case) + 4 photographers(-1 for shooting high profile court case) + 1 lengthy assignment sheet + 1 night photographer (* working extra) * 4 evening newscasts equals one crazy day. Did everyone get that.

I've been known to get the new reporters on their fist day at the Big Raggedy(C-Line, Cheryl, and KN when they first got here) but the new paths hardly ever come across the night shift. He still has that new reporter look. In fact since he made his debut on the Turdpolisher's site he still doesn't have a picture, or bio, on the webpage but I digress.

He lets me know that our story of the day was previewing the upcoming Tax Free Holiday. Sounds simple but nothing is ever easy in the world of news, see math equation above. After a little brainstorming we managed to do what we always do, fill 1:30 in the the newscast.

Nice job Andrew. Now to get you and Matt Clough in the same room, did you know?

what's that movie, I think it's soul man, where the the white guy dresses like a black guy to get into college, and he still acts white. That's it, Clough was tired of freezing his balls off in Denver and this was his only way back to tall tower 9! xray
