Popped a starburst in the windshield of the medic unit while changing the eiper blades in my first hour. We are supposed to get 5 inches of rain tonight, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Too much ambition will get you kicked in the butt every time.

Good job! :bleh: At least it's only like 30 bucks to fix if it isn't too big.

Just don't go to safelite. EDIT EDIT: Safelite and most places do it free with no deductible through insurance.

I busted my units windshield tossing a laptop on the dash a couple of days ago. The only "good"(if you can call it that) part was it already had to be replaced.

Could you please send some of the rain this way? I'm fairly certain that's the only hope for controlling the wildfire situation in the state right now.

Borders. They're going out of business sale has everything 70% off. We spent like an hour in there, I got five books for like $50. We were standing in line and my friend noticed the dirty book section. And we couldn't leave without going to the dirty book section.

Sex Coupons and a book of positions you'd have to be an acrobat to accomplish... fun stuff.
 
I got a memoir written by a drag queen. I love drag queens!

I did this a few years tossing a portable radio on the dash. It skipped off the metal clipboard and into the windshield. It left a nice mark and crack. The windshield needed to be replaced anyway so no having to pay for it either.

Nice to know I'm not the only one.

The homes of a lot of people I care about are in the paths of those fires. I wish I could.

You're a horrible employee, Kyle. :ph34r:



I locked my narcs in my safe yesterday without paying attention to what code I put in... which means I locked myself out. I had to wake up the RD to unlock it... second time since Feb, haha. As we pull up to meet him, he noticed a headlight was out.... gah.

Better than state patrol noticing it was out. I swear to god I had a stater almost cite me for a burned out ambulance headlight once. :ph34r:
 
We had a cop threaten to write us a ticket for leaving our truck running once.. He's like "AC only takes a minute so that excuse is crap.."

Yeeeeah but some of our trucks, you turn them off, they might not come back on.

Meh, my partner is on a first name basis with all the PD, SO and DPS in the county due to being a dispatcher for a few years, and we go on calls with them atleast once a shift.


If I get out of tickets in my POV, I'm sure they care less about the ambulance :rofl:





Sasha-- Just tell him you have medications that will expire if not kept at a certain temperature. We have a cooler with our Roc, Pepcid, Ativan and chilled NS, and the engine has to be kept on or the truck on a shore line.

Careful, apparently headquarters city police cited one of our trucks for 5 over the other day.

A ticket based on violation of what?
 
Apparently it is not legal to leave a car running in my state.

Standing in a no standing zone, like in a traffic lane? Which would never stick here since ambulances can park anywhere according to my local laws. Anyway you look at it, its gonna make that cop look stupid.

I think I found the greatest snack food ever: Kettle flavored popcorn, mixed with corn chips. Ate a whole bag yesterday, starting a new one right now.
