My day started at 4:30am when the phone rang and I was called out to another business burglary. I don't think I've slowed down at all since then. As soon as I finished the processing of the scene, I dashed home and got a real shower (which I am sure my coworkers appreciate) then dashed on in to work to hurry and finish (ok, start and finish) some photo enhancements that I'd promised the DA's office I'd have done last week. Printed those pictures out, then began the report from the burglary. Got halfway through that before taking a quick break for lunch, then just as I was getting back to the office, I got called out to another death scene on the other side of the parish. Sheesh. Fortunately that one was quick and easy, no foul-play suspected, so I took a bunch of pictures, then dug out and drove back to the other side of the parish to the lab. Walked in the door and got pounced on by our ballistics expert who needed a ride to the motor pool. I quickly drove him over, dropped him off, went back to the lab, and finally actually made it upstairs to my office. At which point I realized that I only had about half an hour left until I could go home, so I decided to put off writing the reports until tomorrow. So there.

Gah. Four more days of being on call. At least I got most of a full night's sleep last night. Being woken up at 4:30am isn;t so bad when you usually get up at 5am.

Today's APOD is a really cool one.

No rest for the wicked. I just had a detective drop off a video for enhancement, related to a recent homicide, which makes it a top priority. [groan]
