Most days I like my job, but I'm tired of getting dragged into senseless drama that I had nothing to do with.

Nice heavy plastic one with rounded edges is less likely to cause obvious bruising, just saying
Nice 1000ml bag of NS leaves even less, just saying.

Doesn't matter if you leave a bruise. Didn't write it, didn't happen. "Did you whack your partner in the middle of the call?" "Did I write that I did?" "No." "Didn't happen."

Apparently, I missed the pity party this AM. So I'm gonna bring it around again. It's been a rough few weeks.
I feel ya, and it isn't lame.
I'll top you... I sang Soprano I my freshman year of high school. I still have trouble singing, especially stuff at religious services, because I learned it young, and now I have a different range. (more of a tenor).
boy, I hope so.
And folks, take it from me. EMTLifeHarmony.com here isn't the greatest source of relationships (no offense, Kat!).

I've tried that arguement. When I've had someone say that, I respond with, "if I drop the patient, and don't write it up, it never happened, right?"
Somehow it doesn't work in that case.

Self diagnoses, AvPD through almost all of school.
Working in this field has changed that.

I'm here. I'll join in as well.
Same boat here too. It wasn't until the end of high school that I actually started becoming friends with girls that I was just seeing every day. Entering college, I told myself I was going to change.
I'll keep it real short: I actually met one girl who I really liked in my freshman year. I thought we got along perfectly (and everyone else did too. Everyone thought we were already dating.) Anyway, when I finally asked her out, she laughed a little and let out a really cute, "Awwww." I really felt like a failure at life. And now, some years later, I'm still getting rejected.
I just like to tell myself that being different from everyone else will pay off in the future. I like to think of all the money I'm saving not going out and drinking in the clubs on the weekends....and my liver. That little thing too.

I noticed the same thing when I started (i.e. very recently, ^_^ ), I find that things I was really once concerned about aren't that important at all. And same thing about age: you ain't old till you stop acting young (I've worked with some EMTs nearing 80, and they're as spry as I am).

I'll also pull up a chair. I have two words to describe how I was treated from K onward. Social pariah. I grew up in a small town, and was always the one kid in the class not invited to the birthday party, or the kid who only got 4 valentines in my mailbox. Never had a date to a dance, or actually a date period. I am still surprised I turned out even passably normal.
And lol @ EMTLifeHarmony

Bari unit is such an evil word...Had to go with it daily in Austin. Ugh.

Best conversation of the day. Female at a board and care, residence, not the PT
Her: Oh no, we haven't done anything
Me: Don't worry, we're not police
Her: I thought you were going to take us away
Me: Nope, just and an EMT. It's like a Paramedic (no one knows what an EMT is)
Her: Do they pay you a good salary?
Me: Ha, no way.
Her: Then why don't you quit?
Why didn't I think of that?
Her: Oh no, we haven't done anything
Me: Don't worry, we're not police
Her: I thought you were going to take us away
Me: Nope, just and an EMT. It's like a Paramedic (no one knows what an EMT is)

I'm curious if any of you are getting scam phone calls from a firm with an Indian (not American Indian) sounding accent?
Going on about problems with your computer...they are doing the rounds in New Zealand at the moment.
I'm wondering if they are targeting your countries as well?
From what I've heard.. they get you to log onto a link...from there they can access all the info on your PC.
I just wanted to give you all the heads up about this scam, as if they are not already targeting you, it will only be a matter of time.
Cheers Joy

Lalala! I slept all night! Woot!
I think in my last 5 shifts, I have only done 3 calls. This is going to give me a bad attitude whenever the calls start flowing again.
