While we get ready for Barack Obama's acceptance speech tonight in Denver, part of my job will be to write about the end to the Democratic Convention, but I will also have to break down my equipment as soon as possible and get ready for the trip to St. Paul, Minnesota for the GOP convention.

It's sort of hard to describe, but those last few hours at a convention are a giddy feeling, because your Political Hell Week is finally coming to an end.

To get an idea of my workspace, here's a photo of my set up here at the Democratic Convention.  We are in giant tent, that has plywood floors, with no carpeting (the carpet was an astronomical cost.)

You can see the curtains set up there behind my "desk" - behind that is a hallway of sorts that runs the length of the building. We don't have a "door" into the workspace, so suddenly people will just push their way through the blue curtains and pop into your area - most of the time by mistake.

We are located in the parking lot of the Pepsi Center here in Denver, just a short walk from the entrance to the convention hall. It's probably better than the trailers that we used to use, which always had terrible sound quality and bad air conditioners.

Here is the photo all of you have been waiting for - the only food vendor outside the Pepsi Center. It's the only food available until 2pm each day of the convention!

Yes, it's pretty funny to think that we have something - which would be more at home at a county fair - dishing out food to journalists, police officers and other convention personnel. (In fact, I just saw John Roberts of CNN chowing down on a burger there a few minutes ago.)

On the other hand, we could sure use something else, like the burrito cart that was outside the Staples Center in Los Angeles in 2000. That was some good food.

I am actually operating out the workspace of Cox Newspapers, owned by our parent company. They have correspondents here from the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Austin American Statesman, Dayton Daily News and more.

I have worked with them four times now. It's pretty interesting, because one would think since we are all in news, it's much the same. But in reality, the newspaper and radio/TV news gathering environments are extraordinarily different.

Here is a shot of our workspace, looking down the tables set up for the various newspaper reporters, editors, columnists and photographers. Four years ago we even had some of our company's editorial page cartoonists. That was really neat to watch them do their work

Our work environments could not be more different. Radio and TV newsrooms tend to be loud, with lots of yelling in television, especially. The newspaper environment is library like, with little in the way of verbal interruption.

What I really need right now though is a nap.
