When you're about to walk out the door to drive into HQ for your 12 hr shift and your buddy is snapchatting you a pic of at least 7 of our units at one hospital, Meanwhile the company pager starts going off with "all units clear asap/extremely low coverage". :/

(I hate those pages. What am I supposed to do, magic up an extra bed and/or nurses/docs at the hospital so I can stop holding the wall?)

I had to stand with a pt for like 10 minutes yesterday....that was enough for me @Jim37F

Welcome! If you ever make it down to Galveston, first beer is on me

I do plan on exploring at first! Galveston is the only place that has a beach here right?

P.S. Sorry, money calls...

Well this is some bull excrement....i picked up a day car shift today specifically because it was supposed to be a dedicated Malibu day car.....then they added a second Malibu day car a day or two after I picked up, and when we went on air today they told us we were now going to be a Hawthorne unit

You know, you could be going in for an overtime shift in this lovely Bakersfield 108 degree summer heat at peak hours.

Also, this makes it real hard to pity your situation, haha:

Lol well if you picked up OT for a nice town on the Kern River, then later they added a second unit there, and the day you show up they send you to Oildale instead

Lol, some of the areas covered in, and around the Kern River (Liberty's EOA) are arguably "more interesting" than Oildale. Don't let all the hype about Oildale fool you. It still doesn't hold a candle to the east side.

Maybe I'll score a nice easy LDT to the UCLA Westwood/ VA/ Santa Monica area.

Basically where EMS is at as a profession.

No, the Corpus Cristi/Aransas Pass area has North Padre Island and Port Isabel, Brownsville, and Harlingen have South Padre Island. All of them are hurricane bait.

Lake Isabella is ghetto.

 

[RocketMedic]

But I am partial to Ridgecrest. Will probably be out there in October for the 10 year

Might wait a while to head that way. My aunt told me it's even worse with the humidity than north Texas right now.

They're right next to the Gulf of Mexico, of course the humidity is high. At night it will climb into the upper 90% range and then usually by 10 or 11 AM it will fall down to 40-50%. South Padre Island has grown and has become a lot better than in years past. Corpus is a much bigger city than Port Isabel. Not much worth seeing or doing in Brownsville, but, Harlingen isn't too bad of a town. Neither is San Benito. Both are close to South Padre.

North Padre Island and the Corpus and Aransas Pass areas are okay but are larger cities than the South end.

Work wise? I don't know. I was chasing dopers/mafiosos when I lived and worked down there.

Closer to home, Lake Texoma is nice.

Good morning!

 

[Old Tracker]

Yep, it will be good if I don't get a call in the next 45 minutes. C'mon 0800.

 

[TransportJockey]

Good morning!

It's morning... Still not sure about the good part
