Imagine, getting faxes or phonecalls from local bureaus, saying "ok, weve got now ... deaths and ... wounded", he takes his pc, opens the Excell-file, and includes the new numbers. Walks towards his chief and says "ok, we have 2000 now" Sarcastic, i know. But sure something i wouldnt wanna do.

Going to accidents with major injuries, youngsters being killed because of overspeeding, drinking, drugs, .... Its like carrying water to the sea (good english expression?)... you keep on going to a new car accident, but nothing changes, people keep on acting like they're the only ones on the road...

Hey, Jommeke, did you know you answered your own post? I thought I was the only one who did that!
About the guy(gal) who goes to the car wrecks. I did that when I was employed at a newspaper working my way through college. I didn't like that part, but they let me do other things like writing obituraries and covering murder trials. I also swept the floor and cleaned dirt, grease and ink out of machinery. But I guess people will do anything to get through college.
