I think this is "Remember Me" by MetroRhodes. I'm not even sure how or why this rang a bell.

And now. The first line from one of my all time favourite stories ever:

Quote
Geez! What a day! First it was car trouble, then her
source had decided he hadn't exactly seen what he thought he'd
seen, then Perry had refused to run her story (even though she
was sure she could get corroboration by press time), the
photos she'd been counting on for another story had mostly
turned out blurry, and on, and on, and on. Why am I a
reporter anyway? I must be out of my mind! Nothing but
aggravation ...
