Day: Yesterday

Sooooo I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, so here's a pic I took while driving during work on 315 heading South. I was originally sent to the 315 and 257 area for a woman who decided jumping off a bridge was going to solve her problems. Well, she jumped, and lived, and because the news organizations in the country are twisted, we're only interested if she had died. Granted I understand how "NOT NEWS" someone jumping off a bridge and LIVING is, but is it really THAT much more important that we report on if if she was successful? Seriously, if we're taking a position of news that affects the most amount of people, how does one suicide play into the equation? Now if it was Marc Dann that'd be one thing, but woman X with a crap life is another.

Anyway, other than that I shot with Tom Brockman. We did a story on an apartment complex that a storm knocked out it's elevator, fire alarms and A/C. They've been out for weeks now. The owner's PR guy tells us they've had trouble locating a "Motherboard" for the elevator, since it's so old. Are you freakin' serious? A Motherboard. Last I checked, elevators go up and down. It only makes perfect sense that such a series of complex movements can only be calculated by a very involved computer system...which is the only place you will find "Motherboards." What a load of crap!! First off, if your elevator does indeed have a motherboard, that's one freakin' advanced elevator! Does it serve cappuccinos during your ride as well? Perhaps it gives backrubs. So if your stupid elevator is sooooo old you're having trouble finding parts, than you're even more full of crap. I'm sure elevators built in the 50s were jam packed full of "Motherboards." If you're elevator is that freakin' old, (I've said freakin alot), that replace the whole dang thing because it's probably unsafe anyway. Morons.
