Did you really mean SHAFT, or did you mean SHIFT?
Where I come from - getting the shaft has a hugely different meaning than getting the shift!! ;D

Jazzy!
 
NO, I mean shaft...as in...she is getting screwed. ::)

Not that I mind. Personally, I prefer Heather Unruh over Liz Brunner.

Liz always seems to be smiling even during the bad stories. She really belongs on the early morning news. Which is where she came from before the evening news. And, before that, she was on Chronicle.
