[terrible one]

Wrote my final check for $4,411.54 to pay off my student loans. I graduated in 6/13 and I'm happy to say I'm all done paying my loans. Now the extra money each month will go into my Roth IRA account.

Yay, working till 6am. Must prepare the snacks and music. Cause I sure as hell never sleep.

I feel ya, I work the 1800-0600 shift in the ER tonight and tomorrow. Aint about that life.

Cause I sure as hell never sleep.

Why?

I have learned to sleep in pretty much any position. I could probably sleep standing up if I wanted.

Done it. In the shower.

I'm leaning toward quitting grocery sooner rather than later. The repetitive stress on my joints has me worried that I'm going to injure myself and hurt my EMS career before it really gets off the ground. Especially after talking with other people at the store who've gone through physical therapy for various work related injuries, and seeing EMS providers who've come into the field with prior injuries. I'm already slowing down some days because of joint pain. Maybe twenty-two is the new forty. :/

I feel like complaining about something, but I can't think of anything to reasonably complain about. I need bourbon.

Same. I've slept in the front seat as my partner has driven to calls, lights and siren.

Talk about a zebra. I had a patient the other day who ended up with a diagnosis of herpes encephalitis. That's a first for me!

 

[TransportJockey]

Sour?

Imperial stout

On for 48hrs at the part time fire gig during the east coast blizzard, wheeling the engine. Love working during snow storms!

@CANMAN I bet the duck isn't quacking now. (see above image)

Sour?

I've heard nothing but good things about sour beer. I've never had one, it's on the list of things to try.

What a night. We had to go on a call in the back of an old army M35 "Deuce and a Half" truck as the address was completely inaccessible with about 3 feet of flooding, freezing water. Crazy uncomfortable, but those old trucks are impressive for what they do. That was an adventure.

Surprisingly comfortable up there.

When I was a FF, I would often fall asleep in the jumpseats on late night calls going lights and sirens. The whole adrenaline rush thing kinda wore off after my first few fires, most were 20 mins at the most of actual fire suppression, and hours of overhaul and cleanup.

2 TCs in 2 days with both patients being flown out by the same airship to the same hospital. First one with a le fort Fx and RSIed in flight. Second one with bi-lat femur Fx and open book pelvic Fx.

I've had my fair share of TCs for the month.
