Good OT= hey you're 5th due and we know you just finished a 24 so we will let you sleep unless it hits the fan

Bad OT
 
5 (or more) units at a station. Someone is 1st up, 1st one to get an incoming call, Someone is 2md up after them, Someone is third... and so on

Well not here (we have 19 ambulance stations, 1 of which has 2 units. And one of those 2 is only in service for 12 hrs each day. Every other station is a single ambulance).
But back at McCormick in LA, they had something like 22 stations, most of which were 2 unit stations, a couple with 3, and one or two with 4 (opened after I left when they gained a new contract). But its rare those big stations are just sitting around all day, 4th or 5th up you still rotate up to first and be busier than some single unit stations

Though it's still very much the exception to have more than 2 units, they do have a couple with 5. And its not like you stay 5th up, it's more a rotation, you may start 5th, but then after the first call that unit is 5th and you're 4th up, and so on.

But thats just the one example I'm familiar with, I'm sure there's the other kind where 5th up leaves you not running calls all day lols

I’m all for doing stuff like that but when the statement “they don’t get to say they are not playing” is made, I am out. This pretty much goes for everything in life

Perks of call of duty mobile or a good read. We can just sit there and enjoy some silence.

We invited I.B.I.U.E.I. when mobile phones only had the snake game. The dynamics between partners have certainly changed. I've always been a fan of a good book.
 
10-year old daughter: Dad, can you come here for a second?

Dad: Sure, one sec.

(Proceeds to be led to daughter’s Zoom session, and waves at classmates and teacher).

It was her Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt. She was given 10 seconds to find an object that she loves.

Classy move, kiddo...classy move.
 
First 36 hrs shift in the books. Both nights involved waking up in the wee morning hours, where ¾ of the calls came at in thise overnight hours.... at least the dumpster fire was a change of pace lol

12 hrs off and right back into another 36hr starting tonight...

I work a 72/96. Sometimes I’ll get forced overtime all 96 hours off. Sometimes I can get the work month knocked out in a week and a half.

No that is not where it’s at. Try working 18+ days straight then tell me how you feel.

Seems good to me. I have .15 cents in my bank account and about 1500 in bills due in a few weeks or less.
