Almost feels like old times around here...

One of my coworkers and friends was in a car wreck this morning on his way to work.

He died at the hospital. 20 years old.

Good grief. It's all just so stupid. Hard to see the point on days like this.

That's horrible :( I still remember every minute of the day one of the local EMTs was killed. Didn't know him, didn't even work at the same place, but I saw him on the freeway minutes before he got hit. Hearing the news was surreal. I can't imagine losing a friend like that. :(

I am sorry for your loss. I know I am new to this thread but please let me know if there is anything I can do via the internets to help.


So I have finally come to the realization that I am a white cloud. I had my 6th FTO shift today, 2nd consecutive 8 hour shift without a call. I just want a really acute call before I am signed off to start working. It is starting to get disheartening, has anyone had to deal with anything like this?

Enjoy this, the other end seems fun for a while, but can get tiring quickly.

Thanks. That means a lot.

This kids dad is my dad's best friend. I have been so worried about his heart today. He has been popping nitros like crazy.

I made a mistake last year of praying for a boring, forgettable 2012.
 
I think I really need to check back here more often. Then again it would work a lot better if I didn't work as much. Such is life.

CHAT PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bolded for emphasis.

I've been a white cloud lately but the last couple months started to get rough for a minute there.
 
Missed the chat party by an hour. :(
 
My partner has woken up to the tones for anything tonight...I'm starting to get rather frustrated.

Does being a White Cloud during my practical ride alongs count?
110+ hrs of "ride time" to get 5 contacts...
 
Calls last night? Zero. Went to bed at 2300, slept til the relief crew showed up at 0630. Nights like that are amazing.

I cherish them, because I know a bad night is coming...
 
the worst is the 5am-5:30 calls, because sometimes its not worth it to go back to bed.
 
Speak for yourself.
I get up at 4:00, at work by 4:45.
Granted, being an engineer isn't as exciting as EMS....
 
Get thee to the live chat.

I have some whiskey but nobody to talk too!
 
Omg 7 days to go. Just applied for my marriage license.
 
Poetic! You can still run! There is still time.
