So now your boss knows where you coop up?

Yeah, and the desert smells so cool after it rains.

Is it odd that I'm having an enjoyable evening sitting in bed next to Kat (who is sound asleep) looking at spec sheets for various permutations of polycarbonate trying to figure out which one to choose as the material for the windows in the aircraft I'm designing?

at 00:30hrs? Naw, basic old married couple routine.

Make those windows at least six inches thick to deflect birds, terrorists, and Texas fashion models.

Not at all. *serious face*

I'm not so worried about terrorists since it's a small (relatively speaking) aircraft. The 3/4" polycarbonate canopy of the F-22 can stop a 4 lb bird at 350 kts relative velocity. Ours will probably be a thicker than that since we're going to be flying a lot lower and therefore likely to encounter bigger birds.

Right, hoping for a quieter night than last night. In the first 7 hours of my 14 hour shift I had run 12 calls. Grandma with ventricular standstill, young guy unconscious post assault, another one allegedly fallen from 4th story window (but probably just assaulted as well) infero-lateral STEMI with pulmonary edema and miscallaneous drunken halfwits (none of whom went ot hospital)
I actually fell asleep in my car in the garage when I got home.
It can't be good for the poor old body.

I don't know whether I should be excited or just curl up in a ball. There is a ton of work to do. :/

So... doing my driver training with the new agency. My driver trainer said I was not allowed to sleep at posts because I "haven't earned that privilege yet" and wont until after I get cleared, and instead have to study the Mapsco / do the homework packet instead.


Sorry, after 3 years in EMS, I sure earned the privilege to realize you sleep when you can, especially when on a busy truck, in a busy system, on a 16 hour shift. I'm an employee with several years experience, not a student trying to get his patch.





And even then, I encouraged students on my truck to relax when they could.

Just say you're checking for tenderness at the costovertebral angle because he might have a kidney infection (pylonephritis).
