the 100% directionless thread

Just got a call from AMR wanting to interview me. It's all happening at once
 
I work for AMR in Dallas... AMR also does 911 in the city over in Arlington. I just learned an EMT-B in Arlington starts at $1.50/hr more than a Paramedic in Dallas. What the heck?


In other news, my 3-day work week is over, and I have a 4 day weekend. :P
 
Co-taught a CPR/FirstAid/AED class to power company people in the woods yesterday.

The fun begins. And it was fun.

AMR does 911 all over the MS Gulf Coast, and Acadian has part of the coast close to Alabama. They pay better than most of the EMS agencies around here but not as good as Acadian. New Orleans EMS pays $16/hr for EMT-Bs :ph34r: but there's really no way I'd be willing to work in that city. Their medics make only $1 more than the basics.

haha nice
 
Orientation is done for today... and tomorrow. We'll pick up again on Monday at 0800. And one of the guys doing it talked to our MedCon hospital, and when they were told my alphabet soup certs and my EMT-I cert, they marked me as IV certified through them.
 
Arhhhhhh......I should be doing school, and here I am wasting time on here. :rolleyes:
 
One of the trucks yesterday got a ROSC.

It might have been our call had we been on at the usual 7am start instead of our delayed 3pm day as we're one of only a couple medic trucks on at that time.



It will be interesting to see if the pt survives.
 
My boyfriend will not shut up about kettlebells. I have no clue what he's even talking about as I type this.

Those weighted ball-on-a-handle things used for workouts. I like them.

Someone figured out how to reinvent the dumbell and make more money off people... If only I could figure out how to make money designing something that will end up in ever American's garage sale in 2 years... ^_^

I know, but I like the shape better. I don't own a set myself, but my gym has them, so using them doesn't cost me anything.

Oh believe me, I know what they are, hahahaha. I've dinked around with them a bit myself. He's just a total nerd and goes waaaay in to detail. They're alright. I don't think they're any drastically different than dumbbells, but there are a few more things you can do with them.
 
Mountain! Where you been?

I was just think about you the other day. We are finally getting our County HA rescue team together. Our first classes are May 15th and 16th. I have already got my NFPA Operator in that stuff, but I am taking them anyhow since it has been a year since I used any of it.

How is the wtx down there? Snow gone I hope! :P
 
And now I am 20... I feel so old.
