And this is different from any other day how?

Tossed some fire on the gasoline in that thread- check it out.

A guy I went to High School with died today from a Heroin OD. It seems that I hear about a friend or acquaintance overdosing every couple of months lately. I want to be sympathetic but it is so hard when someone throws their life away with drugs.

So it just took me an hour to drive 4 and a half miles. Thanks LA traffic!

Lost 4 close HS buddies in the last 16 months to the nasty H bomb.

I have very little sympathy for opioid OD wake ups.

 

[NomadicMedic]

It's rough losing a friend to an OD. I try to be as nice as I can to opiate wake ups. I had a good friend who struggled with addiction for years and I know how hard it was for him. I can't say I know what it feels like, but I can be sympathetic.

It's a good night tonight. I'm working with one of my all time favorite partners at a station 10 minutes from home. Just had awesome cheesesteaks for dinner and the AC is blasting. Life is good.

Started submitting applications to agencies in South Carolina. Looks like we may be moving closer to my wife's parents if things go well.

...and today on Facebook, EMTs and paramedics complaining that the NREMT is a scam... despite being similar to other national licensing exams... and far cheaper.

To whomever complains about their registration exam fees, I shall point to the $747 fee my licensing authority charges (on top of the $425 in annual dues), laugh, and then tell them to stop complaining post haste.

I just had a better nights sleep at work than I've had at home for the past week. My roommate and I are dogsitting a 6 month old puppy and the thing has been keeping me up all night. Sweet relief...

 

[RustyShackleford]

Sleep at work? My jealousy meter is at 10!!!

 

[DesertMedic66]

Hmmm, our mechanic (no medical training at all) won one of the raffle prizes for work... The littmann master cardio 2. That was the only gift in all of the raffle prizes that had to do with medical hahaha.

Working in a slow service combined with my ADHD like tendencies would lead to nothing but trouble.

For the past month and a half I've been knitting hats for one of the local NICU's. I've been making them from tangerine sized through small grapefruit sized. I just wish I had an idea of what sizes were needed the most. The staff always seems so busy. I've been leaving them with the security guard that checks visitors in that want to visit the NICU.

I will forever look at a child's head size in relation to fruit now. Thank you.

Well, I figured that would be better than giving dimensions in inches since this is an international forum. That, and just about everyone I know knows how big those fruits are.

I'm at zero in the last twenty hours. Night approaches.
