The country's largest gold mine is in my county. Today we got a tour with an emphasis on hazards and whatnot. I spent the whole time starstruck at huge the operation is. The pit in the picture is one of three, the biggest is almost three times as big.
Well, first day of vehiculars tomorrow. I went to meet my crew members a few days ago and the EMTs made it clear that they weren't fond of a non-fire medic student. Oh and the captain (the only one I knew at the station) just got taken off duty due to an injury and they get a new captain tomorrow, as well.
Weeeellll.... This will be interesting.

If they're treating you poorly due to the fact that you're not a fire medic student you need to talk to your instructor. One, you're paying to be there and deserve the best experience possible and two, the fact that you're not a firefighter has absolutely no bearing on how they treat you or you being "inferior" to a fire medic student. I wouldn't voice it to them directly, give it a chance, but if they pull some crap repeatedly I'd go talk to your instructor because they have absolutely no right to be precepting if they're going to be like that.

I'm listening to people "debate" the merits of the flu shot as I eat breakfast at a diner after my night shift. I'm getting more stupid by the minute. If IQ points were visible, there'd be a trail left behind me when I leave.

I would not have gotten the flu shot this year if it wasn't a requirement for school. It is the same CDC recommended strains as last year. Oh well it was free since work paid for it.

Flu shot is mandatory for my medic program. If you didn't have it you wouldn't go into clinicals. However we also had to get a varicella shot

That's what we were supposed to get. However more than half of our tests came back with negative results

Just purchased my first printer in at least fourteen years. As techy as I am, I'm still amazed at what we can do now. The desktop is wired, but the laptop and both of our phones are now set up to print from anywhere.

=/ I never got the flu shot. it wasnt available anymore when i "tried"
i got a letter from the pharmacist and that was good enough.
mandatory=get it or wear a mask?
i did neither, and didnt get sick. i havent had the flu shot in 11 years and never got the flu...
we should be more worried about ebola than the flu

For us, it is get it before the deadline or wear a surgical mask at all times (even when not in a clinical context) until the end of March. If you get a shot after the deadline, wear a mask for 2 weeks after your shot. But we seem to be pretty lenient with exemptions: get your shot anywhere if you can't get in to OHS during regular business hours, religious exemptions, etc.

It is mandatory for us. Either you have it or you don't move on.
