I have come to the realization that I have "created" what I imagine most of you to look like / behave like in my head, and if I ever met any of you and it was different then what I pictured in my head- I would be disappointed.

I'm curious to see what you've created for me despite my lack of avatar.
 
(+) Hopefully this year we will be getting new ANSI jackets, video laryngoscopes, mutual aid radios, a refurbished ambulance, and new AHA training materials.

(-) All of those are separate grants and now my responsibility....
 
So I FINALLY saw the new Star Wars movie. Mind = blown!
 
So....I'm definitely NOT a gambler, fed some bills into a casino machine, pressed buttons at random and the only thing about what was going on that I understood was that I just gave the casino free money lol I would consider an actual poker table I'd I had some more money to burn, but for now, yeah the casino is just a smoke filled maze to navigate between the hotel and the outside lol

When I go Vegas I pretend to be playing the slots so I can drink for free.

I do that in Cripple Creek. Waaaayyyy less classy there, but hey, it's real close to work.
 
Couple things... when I used to work in the field, we used Thomas Guide almost exclusively. GPS units weren't all that good back then. Dispatch would give us an address and page/grid... and I'd know which general area to go to based only on the page/grid.

Second, congrats to the Recently depress.... Sorry, Passer of the Great Exam!!!! ;)
 
A little "Bad Company" to get the day started off at 4:45. Here's hoping it isn't a slow day.
 
Our paramedic intern seems to be a bit of a black cloud, but only at the end of shifts. We had a bad wreck with a fatality and another Priority 1 patient her first shift, and an RSI last night. Let's see what next tour holds in store!

Sounds like me haha I worked with one crew back to back Fridays and both of those shifts someone got flown out.

Gotta love when you get to the ER at 5:45 just to find a classmate there and realize your shift is 1800 not 0600....and so is the one tomorrow....and then I have work scheduled 0700 Monday....So if I can't find someone to swap tomorrow, I have a 30 hour day coming up. **** me.
 
I had to run an errand out on one of the islands this morning. There was a big race/walk going on. About a thousand participants I would guess. These types of events always make me think that I should start exercising more, especially since it's cooler out. Of course, I was pondering this as I was drinking Starbucks and shoving a cheese danish in my mouth.

When the wifey and I go to the casino, we play only one machine - roulette. We usually break even, or win a little or lose a little. We can bring a hundred dollar bill with us, play for a few hours and still walk away with forty or so.

Well, things just got interesting. I have the soon to be Police Chief trying to recruit me to become a cop and the dispatcher center just found out. I'm curious to see how this is going to play out. I'm also trying to figure out if I were to get on with the police department, if I would be able to work as an EMT on my off days.
