So yesterday I worked a 24 hour shift at a station that's a bit busier than my normal one (let's just say they're know for running as many calls overnight as we run during the day), and last night, we ran a call at 10pm and then didn't get toned out till 5am. ...where do I make a sacrifice to the EMS gods for letting us sleep? Lol

All I know is they're Whelen lights. But they're mounted on a one off ac unit from the box manufacturer
Sorry to bring up this dead topic but I finally found out what lights they are!!! They are actually Federal Signal 9x7 Quadraflares (you can tell by the distinctive diagonal corner flash pattern).

Girly is mad that I said I didn't want to take her to meet her dad since I was exhausted and wanted to sleep after we'd been with her parents all day and I'd been up for 36 hours.

Really?! I didn't bail on you, I hung out with you all damn day, met your parents, paid for the gas and drove the 90 minute one way drive there and back to meet them then told you I wanted to sleep by myself tonight because I hadn't slept and she's a bed hog. Literally leaves me less than a 1/4 of the bed...MY BED!

Ridonkulous.

Don't do anything rash that you'll regret when you wake up. Sleep it off.

My first clinical shift starts in about 10 minutes. So... Night shift... On a holiday... At a level one trauma center... For my very first shift ever... I'm terrified.

Those are Whelen M9s on TJs truck. Just finished an ambulance spec process where we elected not to get them because the boss didn't like the way they look...

Agreed, I'm not going to, just so frustrating.

Don't listen to Monkey.

I'll listen to him over you! :lol:

Will do. Just so frustrating that yesterday she's telling me how happy she is, how good our relationship is going, that I'm doing so much better at communicating and showing her that I care and was totally fine when I explained it last night then today I'm a horrible boyfriend who doesn't care and wouldn't bat an eye if she left.

If something is bothering you, tell me. Don't sit there and tell me how good it is then flip out the next day basically saying I haven't done any of the things you just said I was doing amazing and how happy you are the next.

I remember why I liked being single. Got too much stress in my life and she's my rock. Now my rock is turning into gravel and little kids are throwing it at me.

Fudge. Where was this flash pattern thingy when I needed it about 2 months ago. Literally looked everywhere for it (well, I guess not everywhere)

And I know just realized how pathetic my friends are. I literally could't get enough people who knew each other to fill a 8 team fantasy league :confused::mad::eek:

Got a box of uniforms to turn it. It's very weird to not being going to work tomorrow.

I'm still undecided if I'm going to even apply for GA Reciprocity. :/

You know that, if you don't, you'll be kicking yourself in about 3 years when you have to go through the whole re-certification hassle because you've decided you want to get back into the game.

Just do it.

Very true. :/

I'm just so ... Ugh.
Do ittttttt.

Drove the same route today three times for a total of 700 miles...I have alkali dust about everywhere imaginable and then some, now I get what all the Burners are talking about and I wasn't even there that long. Gotta love getting paid to basically do nothing but tow trailers though, pretty easy job.

Do it. Georgia reciprocity is easy with national registry (if I remember correctly). If you can't find a part time gig there, you are really close to South Carolina, which also has very easy reciprocity.

Anyone ever take an online lab class before? Couldn't get into a regular A and P course due to some residency issues (in Colorado until you are 23 you are not a resident unless your parents are. Never mind that I've had a driver's license here for over a year and have paid state income tax since 2010...)

I have no idea how this is going to go. Never done online class before and I'll admit I'm intimidated. I went to a good school for my undergrad that was tough on us, but so long as you showed up, you were generally able to muddle through. Now I have no idea what I am doing and there isn't an easy way to get quick answers to questions like "what textbooks do I need and where do I get them?"
