Good...we've been saving all your work for you.
Is that why I haven't been on any involuntary vacations lately?

Ugh, got held over at work because of a LDT, so I missed >1 hour of class today and thus failed PEPP just because of the amount of time I missed.
Anyone know where I can take that class in San Diego, Riverside, or OC in the next month? Seems like a class not many people are hosting

My response to the NAEMTs education survey.
The needed education and the desired education will not match up. There is ZERO need for new tactical medicine courses, there's a very small pool of civilian providers who need this and several established courses. Ditto for disaster medicine. These are "sexy" topics, as opposed to medicine or leadership which are incredibly needed but do not appeal to the typical EMS provider. The NAEMT would be doing the profession a favor to put things like tactical and disaster medicine out of their mind and focus on coming up with education in the needed areas rather than empty money makers.

I'm restless and agitated.
My personal car definitely got broken into last night, and my prescription sunglasses were definitely stolen. (Only thing of real value in there not attached.) So, I definitely just had to spend $320 on new glasses I wasn't planning on.
I'm DEFINITELY pissed off.

Throw medic school away for a week off to keep my sanity or lose a lot of money and that week off and finish school.
This is a stupid question to be asking myself but I'm questioning how stable my personality is with this schedule and no time off.

Do not I REPEAT do not chew off a guys face. Say it with me Rob, "no matter how stressed out I get I will not chew off a guys face".
My thoughts are with the faceless guys family at this difficult time and I wish him a rapid recovery.
