I think this also falls in line with yours

It's equivalent to that "hold your wee for a wii" contest in oafishness.

Wow, you have been busy. Well best of luck with your new job!

Closed on my house yesterday at 1130. Moved myself and baby momma in from two different locations by 1800 today.

Dropped $1700 on a washer and dryer. Cried a bit.

Now I'm realizing the joys of home ownership.

My dishwasher wont drain. Fortunately someone forgot to remove the knock out plug on the garbage disposal.

Just got an email from the City of Pasadena (CA), my application for Firefighter Recruit has been accepted and I can schedule myself for their written test!!!

....except that on the only day they're scheduling written tests I will find myself under orders from the US Army Reserves to begin a weeklong training course...on the east coast :S

Call them. I bet they'd work something out for you. A vet having to go pound sand because he had to go pound sand for a reserve week would be bad press.

The response I've gotten from the human resources department at the City of Pasadena, CA can be summed up thusly: I am SOL.

Literally, all they pretty much said was "hope you can make it" to the test date

Because that's exactly how military orders work. With no more than a weeks worth of notice, and a flight itinerary paid for, I can just skip off the first day of an ATRRS locked training course

EMSA and EmStat...Ferno old cots, F350s and stand-up 24s vs EMSA's 12s, new trucks, top-flight equipment. Pay is the same.

That's a real shame.

Nice! I personally long for the day I find an ambulance that is practical and I can stand up in... 6'4" tall here.

You could try Big Blue 42 lol biggest ambulance I've seen that isn't one of those with a semi truck cab like a couple of the FDs around here have

 

[Jim37F]

That's a real shame.

Yeah frustrating to say the least, but Glendale FD app period closes tomorrow so hopefully I'll get to test with them sometime soon (plus still in the queue for an interview at LA City)

That's about the same size as all of our units.

You should see the crew cab International Medium Duty Humboldt General EMS runs. The thing is longer than some engines.

Makes our units look like little rescues.

Freaking pediatric day. First patient of the day was a stable 8 year old asthma attack treated successfully with albuterol. Second was a 5 year old, hypotensive, tachycardic girl who was probably a bit dehydrated and feverish. Third was a critical 19 month old female who suddenly went unresponsive at home and who I intercepted as a single medic en route to the hospital. They're getting younger and sicker...

 

[JPINFV]

You should see the size of my unit...

I asked your girl friend and the only answer I got was a chuckle.

Darn, you really did ask her then...
