yes
I personally don't mind it. I've never heard of it taking longer than 8 or 9 hours for a crew to finish. Technically if you get to 25 minutes prior to your scheduled EOS they tell you to get fuel and come home and wont keep you out late unless you have the bad luck of being the closest unit to a 911 call.
Maybe it's different but our dispatchers try pretty hard to get the HPC crew transfers as fast as they can. If there are no pending transfers they double post them over the downtown car and give the HPC priority on calls in that area.

The pizza challenge: Defending the honor of N.Y. and Hawaii
First off, there is NO real good pizza left of NY and New Jersey!
(Anyone who has eaten that or bagels there knows that's the truth; it's because of the water, mineral rich from underground glacier aquifers and generally considered to be the highest quality/tastiest tap water in the U.S.)
...and even though I truly doubt Oahu has the best pizza, Hawaii counts more than you know:
Horses got here before Texas.
1st printing press west of the Rockies.
1st High School west of the Rockies.
80% literacy rate (reading and writing in Hawaiian) by about 1860 -- Northeast coast literacy (in own language) about 60%
Had electric lights BEFORE the White House.
Polynesian navigators were routinely crossing thousands of miles of open sea (in dual-hulled dugout canoes!) about 1,700 years before Western man left sight of land!
Besides that, we don't have to worry about suddenly seismically slipping into the sea, we're already there and the surf's up!
Hawaii was actually a sovereign nation, recognized throughout the world, whose legal government (a constitutional monarchy modeled on Britain) was overthrown by a cabal of U.S. businessmen in conspiracy with the U.S. Minister of Hawaii. It is the only piece of stolen U.S. territory once ruled by Kings and Queens.

While all true, I don't see how any of this moves Hawaii to the West coast of the contiguous 48 States.

Patient has a possible TIA 2 days ago. All symptoms are gone less then 24 hours after onset. Patient goes to urgent care 2 days later (today). Doctor says BLS transport is fine. So we transport to the hospital and I do my call in telling them everything.
Get to the hospital and they decided to activate the full stroke team (code 10). Gotta say that was a new experience haha

NYC's 5 boroughs has some of the best pizza in the world, outside of Italy. Nothing beats the food in Italy. But even the worst pizza places in the 5 boroughs beat anyplace else outside of those 5 boroughs.

Came into work for a short shift in the office and was told I was suspended for "mouthing off" to a nurse.

Did they even try listening to your side of the story?
With the way things are going here, I may be joining you soon...

No because listening to my side of the story doesn't preserve their contracts.
