I guess we have different definitions of double parking, I always think of that as a car being parallel parked, then you parking next to them, in effect blocking them from leaving.

I thought it was when you took up two spots?

Sometimes at facilities we have to block them in but its either that or park way away from the doors and I don't care for wheeling our pt around a parking lot.

I think technicaly double parking is blocking a lane of traffic, parallel parked next to a car that's parallel parked. But I know what you meant.

I heard once, "It's either a Doberman or el Chupacabra, but either way, we aren't going in there without animal control."
 
My 48 just got cut to a 38. I'm losing two hours of pay, but sleeping in my own bed without interruption is worth the $13.70 - before taxes - I'd make being there for another 10 hours

One of my crews is making chalk art in a parking lot..

I really need to spend more time with this rotation's night shift. The fun is worth the no sleep
 
All the previous FEMA things I did were pretty boring, but so far IS 230 Fundamentals of Emergency Management is probably the most boring. I am going to finish the other half of the reading tomorrow and take the test (I don't like to cheat). My goals are: HICS, ICS 300, ICS 400, IS 701, and IS 703. I'm signed up for a 2 hour HICS class on the 16th of April, and then I am waiting for my county to make ICS 300 and ICS 400 available. I don't find them useful, but it's required for our county's supervisors. I want to have them for lolz.

That won't be anytime soon. All our supervisors have 20+ years as a paramedic for the company.

Nope. The sad thing is that we will still probably have it. We have a mid 1990s ford explorer with 400,000 that still has lights and sirens (lights and sirens last used in like 2000 haha). It still gets driven everyday

Oh it's all well and good for us to ooo and ahh over this but when they wake Godzilla up who pays the price? The poor Japanese. Haven't those poor people suffered enough?

Well, Hollywood is running out of new material so maybe they can use the footage for something decent. Who knows, maybe they will do a Godzilla vs Kraken movie in the spirit of Alien vs Predator.
