My new monitor stand is a great addition to my desk!

Here's my view to the left, deskmate/TL court reporter Sheena Delazio.

Today is day two of my blog. How am I doing so far? Just so you know, I hope to update this every weekday.

I woke up this morning with a raspy voice. It might be cool if I had been at a rock concert last night. How do I get rid of it? Several people have told me summer colds are going around.

Good thing my spirits were lifted when I found out my new computer monitor stand arrived. It came in a humongous box and I felt like it was my birthday or Christmas. Better yet, it was already put together.

You should know that for the past several months, I have been using two old phone books to make my monitor high enough for me to see without having to hunch over. The Yellow Books are on their way to be recycled thanks to my green co-worker, Rory Sweeney.

That brings me to my newsroom quadrant. Even though I work for The Dallas Post, I sit among Times Leader reporters in the TL newsroom. To the left of me is Sheena Delazio, the new court reporter, though she has been at the TL for three years. She has put up with me as a deskmate for a whole year, which means she's endured me editing aloud and complaining about life (usually men). She has also witnessed me attempt to take a photo with the lens cap still on the camera.

Behind me is Rory. I’m not entirely sure what his beat is, but he usually writes about ethanol or some other environmental issue. To the right of Rory is Mike McGinley, our obituary clerk and reporter. Delmar Macosky sits in Mike’s place Thursday through Saturday when he is on obits.

I also can’t forget Jennifer Learn-Andes. She sits in the next quadrant, but is close enough to me to provide tremendous support.

These people, and Curry Donuts mocha cappuccino, keep me going every day.

You can check out Sheena and Rory’s blogs on www.timesleader.com.
