the 100% directionless thread

Red/brown and blue/green watch do 2x day shifts then 2x nights of 12hrs each then four days off.

Yellow watch does day only either 8.5 or 12hrs and this is what the Operations Managers (DOM/ROM) and some paid rural Officers work.

Black watch does usually Monday-Friday or Thursday-Monday to cover peak times when having the extra vehicle all the time is not required.
 
So my partner that I've worked about 80% of my shifts with since we started (got hired on the same day) had her last shift here yesterday.

It's... surreal. Kind of feels like I'm losing my best friend. Amazing how close you can get when you spend 72 hours a week together.

Rodeo weekend is almost over. :-( I love rodeo standbys. The best part of the whole show is the REAL cowboys with their heelers and border collies penning up the bulls after the bull riding. Those dogs are absolutely amazing! I don't know how they don't get crushed. And they are so small, comparatively speaking, yet the bulls obey them almost without question.

My dad had a border collie that he used for Canadian goose control of all things. Watching him work was amazing. I really miss that dog.
 
My best bud has border collie pup who is about 13 weeks old. She is so smart... she started herding me and then realized if she ran in a circle around me the right way she could tie my legs up with the leash.
 
What a perfect day. Was awakened to find cards of love from my wife and kids and then led out to the shop for my fathers day gift. 2011 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom blacked out edition. Could not have asked for a better day.
 
I'm honestly wondering if I'm ever going to live in one place very long. Don't want to stay in ABQ right now... thinking of applying to large services in TX... Again. Any place I can finish my medic and start on my RN... or skip medic and get my RN... then come back to get my medic
 
jockey i am with you. 1/2 of me wants to stay somewhere long enough to settle down, the other 1/2 wants to hit a different city every 6months to see the country.

Until a month ago I was content to stay here for a few years until we were both ready to move... now moving right now to somewhere I haven't lived or been with her to is very appealing

I am feeling kinda crispy right now, and smelling like a cross between vinegar and aloe.
Random note, it almost felt daring to answer the following question with a yes. " are You sure you want to add _______ to your contacts. " almost sounds like the site is questioning my sanity or something. :ph34r::D
 
The setting: One of those typical hell hole single wides with barely enough room to walk. Oh, and tons of cats.

When: About an hour ago.

Me: Wow, you sure have a lot of cats in here.

Patient: Yep.

Cop: So, Ummmm, how many cats do you have inside here?

Patient: Twelve I think. Maybe thirteen.

Cop: Crap that's a lot, especially living inside.

Patient: (In a voice suggesting this is a normal occurrence) Well, actually more than twelve. I just found five more in the cupboard this morning.

Cop: Whaaaaa.......t did you say?

Pt: (in a voice that says "you idiot cop, don't you know this happens all the time?) I found five more in the cupboard in the kitchen this morning.

Cop: (Very quietly, To me): WTF is wrong with some people?





I wonder that myself sometimes.

If anyone remembers, I worked the Electric Daisy carnival last year and had a guy my age die, and another 4 hospitalized for ODs.


It was back here this past Saturday and apparently another 19 year old died. News is reporting "Second such death in a year at the carnival, with the other being a 15-year old in Los Angeles"




News flash, retarded journalist--- Did you forget the one from last year? Shoot, I hate journalists. They never get anything right.

I was just watching CNN, not paying attention, and I'm pretty sure they just said there were no incidents last year.

Good for CNN.

I have a dead body to prove otherwise.



If you ever want to know what an MCI feels like, work a rave.
