Packing up the house. I can't wait to get on the road and start the new job! I am so done with Washington.

This is a universal phenomenon, then? We went a solid week, with 5 shifts, once...DOA every shift. And the system was messing around with the MPDS dispatching that downgraded cardiac arrests to priority 3 (no lights and sirens) if the patient was "cold and dead in a warm environment." But they'd forget to cancel fire, and we'd show up 10-12 minutes later with fire all sweating and cussing us...rolling up with no lights and siren when they'd been working the arrest by themselves all that time.
 
I'm just looking to avoid a repeat of the six in 5 hours from yesterday (two of which were mine).

We actually still do this. It's dispatched as "obvious death" though.

We just had too many screw ups in the first week for ANYBODY to go for it in the future. I think our callers were just exceptionally stupid or something. We had 2 ROSCs off of P3 arrests, and that's when the medical director pulled the plug on it.

He thought that the risk/benefit thing wasn't working out.

I guess....lol.

We haven't had anything like this, although I'm not sure why we run P1 to a witnessed arrest that's nearly an hour away either.

Keuring's K-cup brewing system is the bee's knees :wub:.

Oh, yes. We shopped around for an orthodontist for my oldest, and I knew I had the right place when they said I was welcome to make myself a cup of coffee any time I was waiting for her.

They weren't even more expensive, and they came highly recommended from my friends.

K-cup- FOR THE WIN!!

My dentist has complimentary K-cups and a brewer in her waiting room as well
 
Does anyone have any advice on not-so-expensive ways to move my stuff half-way across the country?

Wife and I figure we've paid for the thing in money saved going out for coffee.

Well, I use a regular coffee maker. The problem is cleaning it and using the entire pot for just me. My wife never drinks coffee and filling the thing up is just overkill for me. Lately I have been using the instant coffee bags, which gets the job done I guess.
 
Psh, last time I went to Starbucks the coffee tasted like my partner's car smells: Oscar the Grouch's bathroom ash tray.
 
Just applied for AMR in Riverside, Palm Springs, and Redlands... Hopefully it goes well.
