To make life easier for yall...

Be a Firefighter
Alarm goes off at 8
Wake up Jim, it’s Firefighter work day
Put your fire pager on your belt so the whole world can see it
Put on ‘Firefighters: First in Last Out’ t-shirt
Firefighters are gods gift to the earth anyways
Drive to gas station to purchase 15 bottles of Powerade
Notice someone staring at your Firefighter t-shirt
Tell them "Yeah I’m a Firefighter”
“Oh…I didn’t ask you if you were…”
“Just wanted to make sure you knew.”
Walk away wondering why they don’t appreciate your service
Get to fire station, ready to start your shift
Workout instead
Finish work out, see checklist of items to accomplish during shift
You got 24 hours to do them, play Xbox instead
Another firefighter arrives at the station
Tell them “Hey man, I’m a firefighter.”
“I know we’ve worked at the same station together for 8 years.”
“Just wanted to make sure you knew.”
Walk away wondering why he doesn’t appreciate your service
Sit down in lounge area
Expensive leather chairs
Hold pager in your hands
Stare at it
No calls. Damn
Look at checklist of things to do during your shift
I got 24 hours, time for a nap instead
Lay down for nap
Firefighting is hard you know?
Nap gets interrupted 9 hours in for a fire alarm call
Police beat you on scene, tell you it’s a false alarm
**** it, Fire responding Code 3 anyways
Arrive on scene, Police Officer finds you to say it’s a false alarm
“I know. I’m a firefighter.”
‘I see that. I just wanted to let you know you can cancel…”
“Just wanted to make sure you knew”
Walk away wondering why he doesn’t appreciate your service
Get back to fire station
Fire Chief calls you into his office
****. I don’t want to be in trouble
Fire Chief asks why you responded Code 3 to an alarm when you were cancelled
“Well…I’m a firefighter.”
Fire Chief shakes his head
Just wanted to make sure you knew”
Walk away wondering why he doesn’t appreciate your service
Go back to the lounge area
Find list of building checks you need to accomplish
**** it, too much work
Make dinner
Crockpot special
Mom comes by the station to visit
Not today Mom I’m doing Firefighter ****
Didn’t you see the Last in Last Out t-shirt?
Getting tired
It’s been a long day
Reminisce on alarm call…you saved the building from going up in flames
Pop in a movie
Cry yourself to sleep watching Backdraft
Realize that could’ve been you today
**** yeah it could’ve been
Sleep again.

I renewed my state license for the first time. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. AND I finally got to changed the picture. Thankfully!

Love that when I'm trying to register my car, to get my license, because your car has to be registered to apply for your license...it's pouring rain and the state inspection places won't do the inspection because of it.

Damnit Texas and your silly vehicle registration processes! At least I've got all my ducks in a row so when I get off on Thursday in the morning I can just go get it inspected, then to the tax office to register it then to DPS to get my shiny new Texas license.

And then there's the day you totally screw the pooch on an interview.

Oh well. There's always another one.

I've screwed up an interview or two before myself

But looks like I'll get the chance to do that again for North Las Vegas FD soon

Someone shoot me. Obvious dystonic reaction...and the urgent care gives epi and calls us for anaphylaxis.
