Rough Day

So today is just one of the rough parts of my job. Well actually, today and Friday are the rough days.

Both days I had to write about kids getting hit by a car and dying, ugh. Today was about a 10-year-old and Friday was about a 17--year-old who was hit on Christmas Eve.

I know it's just part of life, but the past couple of days the tough news just gets rough. It's so sad and you wish something else would've happened.

In both cases the kids were crossing a road, one being at night in the rainy weather, the other a couple of hours earlier. Both were on busy roads, and one involved a police car hitting the kid.

I love being a reporter, but days like today, my job sucks.

People often ask us why we don't cover happy news, and we do. But no one reads it, maybe if more people did, there wouldn't be as much bad news in the world.

Eh, today has drained me so I'm going to pour myself a glass of wine and chill out with some Gilmore Girls.
