Well, we successfully passed our driver training portion. Too bad the department doesn't do the full formal CDL anymore, otherwise we passed the equivalent of a class B...instead it's just a city internal "City Operators Certificate" but hey, better than failing out of the Fire Academy for hitting too many cones lol

And tomorrow we officially start our EMT portion of Academy.

Holly sh....so today is the first day of EMT, in addition to the textbook, we're supposed to bring in our CPR books (that we got in like week 1....that I took out of my bag and had it at home). This morning I completely forget to grab the CPR book on my way out of the door (even though when they mentioned it yesterday I was mentally grabbing it from the spot where it was...same spot I normally leave my backpack and other such materials).

Lineup is at 0745...but we've been showing between 0630 and 0645, which is good, because at a quarter till I'm walking up and somebody just so happens to be talking about needing that book today and I realize that I forgot it. While my brain is still going "Oh f.....!!" the guy says, "why don't you just go grab it, you live like 10 minutes away right?"
Talk about a lifesaver right there lol, I race out, go all the way back to my apt building, grab the book, race back, and am back at 0705...plenty of time left...though my heart is still racing like I ran instead of drove back lol.

Talk about a lesson on a) staging my stuff the night before, b) the importance of showing up early so I can fix the mistake (and c) why finding a place so close to work is important not just for sleeping in a little later than if I lived 30 min away lol)
