Got me a new job today with a rural service that runs 2-3 ALS ambulances and a community paramedic program. Never had an interview go better, I am ecstatic right now!

Congrats dude! That's awesome.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how our CHP program works out. We've already implemented protocols to bypass the ER for psych and ETOH calls that can be triaged to the county psychiatric facility or the detox center. Hopefully this time next year we'll also be able to triage and transport to Urgent Cares. That's the plan at least.

Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking, is this still near Colorado Springs? I just moved away from Colorado and am curious.

Congratulations! Please let me know if there's some hope for community paramedicine.
Got my clutch for the Landcruiser in the mail today
And my sister set me up with a potential job at her ED. They have a tech leaving on deployment in early June, which is perfect because I graduate like 10 days before.
Damn good day today, but i still have to get through meeting my girlfriends parents in half an hour, haha
Land Cruiser? What year?
I have a somewhat built 80 series.

As of today I have completed 115 hours of training and CEUs this year and it's only March. And that doesn't even include the 60 hours of my critical care orientation. I feel like I am in school all over again.

After 3 months with a regular partner I have a newbie partner today. Now I get it.
How is he going to know which Keurig coffee I want at the good hospitals?

You know that old saying that about give with one hand, take with the other
Yeah, that, simultaneously.
I like the unexpected, its a huge part of why I love my job ... I don't like it when unexpected things happen to me!
Life huh?

Just have him bring you one of each then dump the wrong choices down his pants. He'll learn up quick like.

You... I like you.
Its an 84. Bought it like 2 weeks ago. Haven't really been able to do anything with it, as far as driving it, been working on getting it running well. Did a top end rebuild, a second battery system for the lights, working on the clutch now. Then it's time for a bigger lift and wheels.
I remembered someone had one, just couldn't remember who, lol.
And congrats Tigger!

O- Olfactory.. Does the selection have an appealing smell
P- Palate.. The Greenhorn should be able to taste the difference between organic and free trade
Q- Quality (obviously).. Green Mountain is superior to Doughnut House.
R- Roast.. Light, medium, or Bold?
S- Solids (also referred to as "Body") Non-soluable and non-volatile are tasteless and provide body
T- Temperature.. All coffees should be NO LESS than 187 degrees F.
Sounds nice so far. Feels great to do the work yourself too.
Those 60 series are great trucks. Simple, lots of room. I almost bought one a few years ago that was on 37s, air lockers, cut/turned front axle and other goodie.
I'm liking it so far, but it only got driven a few miles, because it was running pretty rough. Definitely enough seating
As of now it's just a shackle lift with 31" BFG tires. I'm doing 4 inches suspension and going for 33's- possibly 35's. It's going to be a DD, so I'm thinking smaller tires would be a bit better.
I'm ready to get it done, though, lol. Been carless for 2 weeks and driving my stepdad's 2500 HD Silverado with the diesel motor is killing me, haha.
Edit: I'll throw on a pic

I am quite excited. A big part of my interview turned into a discussion about preventative care and community paramedicine so I'm hoping that's indicative of their culture.

It’s my first night with ImageTrend. We'll see how this goes. We're doing dual reports until April 1st on both the old state software and ImageTrend, then we're on ImageTrend exclusively.
I like it so far... but I'm glad I've only got tonight and tomorrow night until I'm off for a week. Creating two charts for each call sucks.
