Monday was my first day at the Morning Call. After 6 hours of mission statements and OSHA regulations, I was finally released into the wild.

By far the highlight of the day was this instructional video on pumping gas. Don’t go inside, kids!

My first story appeared in the paper today. A horrific accident in Berks County — not the one you heard about – killed a 4-year-old and his guardian. It first went up on the Web site around noon, and I updated it throughout the day.
