Its time one again for the biannual destruction of the shifts followed by a disappointing shift bid.
Started a petition to go back to the 36/48 schedule

I like 3/4's (12hrs), this is the ideal shift pattern in a busy system as far as I'm concerned. In a slow system, I like 2 days on, and 4 off.
Regardless, I feel your pain, as I have had my shifts and feelings massively damaged by shift bids lol.
Now who else is going on strike?

Were on some shift now that I cant even describe well. Different start times everyday. Shifts that are anywhere from 6-13 hours.
I work nights and we are close to the 3/4. I work 3 13's each week. Last bid I worked 6-13's and had 8 off. It was nice but I want my OT back.

I think I am in the area of a very dark grey cloud...
Fall down the stairs resulting in a broken arm and an open book fracture of the pelvis.
That was followed by a 2-car PI. Where we couldn't even tell what one of the vehicles had been. We flew one of the two drivers out.
Those were both from my last shift at my full time job. Today I worked at the part time one.
It yielded one exploding tire that was being filled with foam. I had no idea that stuff starts out as a nasty, sticky, gooey, gel-like substance. It was all over EVERYTHING. Anyway, we got the guy deconned enough to be able to transport and treat him. An open fracture to the arm and a dislocated knee cap.
It's back to the full time job tomorrow. I refuse to believe that is a black cloud yet!

I tend to be the opposite. I'm the white cloud. in the past it was worse. I was like a reverse white cloud. Every time I took time off my partner would run a messed up peds call or a suicide, or something horrific.

Not just Redlandsh34r:
This kinda makes me proud to be have been, and to be soon again, a non-union Hemet person. Despite belonging to two different unions, both of which are part of the AFL-CIO, I tend to rather despise unions and think they server little purpose outside of lining their own pockets with my dues. Now if they did what they purported to do...
I/we should be careful. I don't want to get a political infraction.

From what I've been hearing Hemet is getting closer and closer to becoming union.

I've not heard this. I'll have to ask around. I'm not apposed to a union, so long as it's worth the dues, that most are not.

I ended up on the scene of an MVC tonight in my response zone while off duty. Felt like an idiot when I realized that I didn't have my PPE bag in my car. Luckily no one was injured and PD was pulling up right as I was on the phone with our comm center.

I'll be working the EAA Airventure in Oshkosh this coming weekend. They recruit area EMT's and Paramedics to staff the grounds along with the local FF/EMS on site.
Lots of planes and lots of people. What could possibly go wrong?

First medical patient I've flown out in a long time. Three fly outs in three tours. Yep I'm in a rural area. This was a stroke patient that was flown.
