All of my kiddos the last 24 hours (didn't really run at all the first twelve :) ) were in a bad way when I got them. 1 status asthma, 1 broken femur, 1 fall w/ intermittent lucid periods, 1 MVC victim w/ a broken arm, and 1 anaphylaxis. Plus an upper GI Bleed adult and a bicycle accident adult that was either an MI, Stroke, or syncopal episode (or all of the above)

Newbies grabbing OT shifts before I can get to them? This is mutiny!

No. This is EMS. Whoever wants to work will work, you want the shifts be faster on the uptake, they have crap to cover and can't wait around waiting for the "senority" to pick it up.

Wtf. I worked a full 12 hour shift on Memorial day and they're only giving us 6 hours of holiday pay. WTF!

80% of my household is sunburnt. What a day at the beach!

I'm sunburnt too, but I spent a day in the pool instead.

You'd think being in EMS I'd be above the whole "Hey guys, watch this!" moment. Sadly, no.

We were taking running foot first jumps onto a floating boogie board.. Not my brightest idea but when it worked out it was kind of fun.

It was just... odd. None of them have pagers yet, and I called in like 30 seconds after receiving each open shift page to find out one of the new guys already picked it up. I was very confused as to how they knew they were open, haha.

I don't have a pager yet so I just call the supervisor. He normally tell employees about open shifts before sending a page.

Could be worse. Some damn volunteer could be picking up those shifts and working them for free lol I think the regular in charge paramedic I volunteer with should be paid a bonus. He's so popular to ride with he never works with a paid partner and his truck always goes out with 4 crew on it. He's singlehandedly saving the company a fortune in overtime.
