I took a solid 6ish month break. It was kind of nice.

Even the Community Leaders take breaks. It keeps us sane. Well, I mean, how sane can we really be, right?

Same here. Got a little tired of the repetitiveness.

For me, life gets repetitive. It's one of my biggest struggles.
 
I'm in that awkward stage of being a new hire where although I haven't even started orientation yet, my contact info is in their system so I'm getting the emails saying "We have openings! Who wants to work?" And the one I just got apparantly a lot of guys took New Years Eve and Day off because if you work today/tomorrow you'll get a raffle ticket where the winner gets to choose a PS4 or an Xbox One or an iPad Mini or a 40" LED TV or a Nomex uniform set haha. I'm sitting here reading going "Put me in coach! Put me in! Nevermind that orientation and Field Training thing!" lol
 
Well, at least I got home from my vacation trip to Palm Springs... safely!

I'm working today, but getting off at 7pm. I feel awful for my relief. I work in a predominantly college town.... I would not be surprised if the whole city drowned in a giant a giant lake of McCormicks vodka and vomit by tomorrow morning.

Living in a college town is brutal for EMS. Our main college has 50k+ students. They all herd to one street every weekend.
 
Damn. I might as well have worked tonight since everyone I know picked up a shift. Happy New Year's everyone!

Thanks man! Things are going good. Actually taking a break from EMS at the moment, working for a logistics company as a warehouse manager in charge of shipping and receiving. Entertaining possibly enlisting. Got engaged! 8/20/16, Playa Mujeres, Mexico, be there or be square! Haha

I feel that, I passed and now feel lazy. Just me and my roommate watching drunk history. Of course the supe was being a bit vague about what the shift was, a good miss being that it was an extra BLS "detox" ambulance. Bleh.

Well, more bad news, this time from Burbank Fire. I got the email from them earlier saying my NTN score did not meet their cutoff of 89.28. My score? A mere 1.12 points below the cutoff at 88.16 :/ :( Still waiting on word from Culver City if I met their cutoff for the NTN test or not.....

However, on better news side, I also got an email from the Southern Nevada Fire Consortium (one test for a bunch of So NV dept, the openings I applied for in this go around are City of Henderson, City of North Las Vegas, and Clark County), I am eligible to schedule myself to take their written test in January so yeah...
