I don't have strong enough words to describe how much I dislike my job today. It's been one of those nights.

Been sitting in traffic for 30 min trying to go 1km to get on the Halifax bridge. It's -12C and snowing. I think all the idiot drivers have come out. Did I mention I hate cities. And Halifax is small (350,000 or so). They can't pay me enough to work here and put up with this everyday. I just want to drop my pt off at the CCath lab, pick up my return and get the _____ out of here. Roads will be bad enough going home.

That was my day yesterday. I started inventing new swear words about 4hrs into my shift.
So I go to the cinema to watch a film I have wanted to see for ages - Les Miserables , sit in front of a very very overweight guy - he goes to the washroom right in the middle of the really sad bit - comes back all out of breath wheezing and sounding generally unwell and proceeds to collapse! Seriously the first time I have been out in months and end up having to deal with him instead! Boo!
I successfully avoided frostbite Sat night/Sun morning during an MVA.
Temps down in the single digits, and wind gusting up to 45-50 mph.
Fingers were cold to the touch for an hour afterwards. Turnout gear kept the core warm, but the digits not so much.
This morning it was Negative 9 F.
Currently hovering at a balmy 0
wind chills makes it feel like 20 below

Hooray, my TENS unit came. Now I can work on healing my trapezius while my legs get worse and worse for another 16 weeks.

What do they do for OTJ (or, I guess, during training) injuries during the fire academy?

For us, if the recovery time was longer than two weeks or so, they'd hold us back and restart us with the next class.

Since we are all EMS promotional hires, they put you out line of duty injury/light duty and recycle you to the next class. Assuming there is a next class.
We have quite a few people already out injury. Seems we lose one a day to the running/PT.

Seriously, these things make me so mad.
If you want a bunny, go get a bunny, your wife is not the government and you shouldn't have to petition to get what you want.
You have obviously never been married....
