I was just thinking about how I would probably like 16 hour shifts. I think the end of the shift would kinda suck, but I would love the 4 days off. I used to do 3 on, 4 off, 4 on, 3 off. That was all right. The 4th day felt kinda rough. I am gonna be doing 4x a week every week now. Always Thursday-Sunday. Always 3 days off only. :[

16s can really suck with a bad dispatcher, partner or both.

Luckily I generally get a solid dispatcher 2/3 days if not 3/3 and my partner and I get along really well.

So after staring at the damn dress for 5 minutes Im going to say that its white and gold.

WEIRD!!!! i keep looking expecting it to change and it doesnt...blue and black!!

 

[Aprz]

It's definitely white and gold. The people who say it is blue and black have broken eyes, crazy, or trolling.

If it's white, then apparently my uniform and helmet are a chief's lol

What is a solo medic in your system? Is it really just what it says on the tin? I'd like to know out of interest and being only familiar with NJ's configurations.

@Flying, I'm guessing you're curious about the DE system. DE, by design, is a two medic fly car system with a very involved FTO process. It takes anywhere from 6 weeks to a year to clear, depending on your experience and the calls you run. Experienced medics take less time than fresh newbies.

I am currently working in GA, and it's a lot less involved. I'm being cleared to function as an independent medic on an ambulance. It was VERY different, with a short FTO process, clinical competency, protocol test and a couple of classroom days for orientation to the system, paperwork and whatnot.

Long work day today, and then fire class from 0800-1700 tomorrow, then can relax and watch the race on Sunday. What a week!

Alright. I reloaded the dress photos and it came up a different color. Originally, white/ gold, then blue/black, then white/ gold. It just switches every time you open the page.

Can't we all just get along and agree that it is an ugly dress?

changed my phone number and had 'debt collection' calls every week, probably for previous owner...only problem is theyve been leaving messages-
'your name and your social are going through mediation for debt collection'...so i just called 5 of the companies to ask them what my name and social is...and if they dont know it...then why are they leaving messages saying they do....yes im bored, its funny how angry they get when they cant back up their messages.
