I hate the heat. Summers here are horrible. Give me cold temps and a fireplace!

 

[Ewok Jerky]

They are talking about cancelling April vacation here to make up snow days. After February vacation I think kids will have spent more time this month at home than at school.

 

[DesertMedic66]

We never had a snow day. We had sand days where the blowing sand was soo bad they cancelled school.

Day 3/6 tonight....never (well maybe) doing this again. I thought it wouldn't be bad working so many days in a row but I just want a normal lazy day. Paycheck will be awesome though

24's?

 

[Angel]

Omg no that would be too much. Its 12s (14s since I commute) but we hardly get any downtime and have been going on out of town transfers a lot which is annoying, but pays the bills.
I come home shower, eat and sleep then head back to work.

 

[CALEMT]

Shower, eat and sleep then repeat haha living the dream.

82 here, but get back to me in July when it's 110. [emoji31]

I'm from Eastern NC. I know how that feels and you can keep it.

I don't think I've done this in a few years but as soon as I got home off shift today, I just crashed on my couch and napped for a good 4 hours. Even a pre-nap mountain dew didn't help.

Dang, I do this even after a no call 24

I got my plates in the mail for the triumph finally.

It's a good thing I'm an acceptable EMT as it appears that I am a miserable mechanic/car tinkerer. If it's not outrageously basic preventative maintenance I am just useless. Todays attempt at installing a new stereo with Bluetooth and a steering wheel interface resulted in nothing but frustration and failure.

 

[ViolynEMT]

I just watched Sirens for the first time.

As a huge Star Trek fan I'm so pleased to see the Tricorder come into existence ... and work! Here's a CNN story that I think you might find interesting. I could see applications for the ambulance:

What'd you think? I think Billy is the funniest on the show....how long is that guy gonna be a third rider?
Of course im probably reading too much into it

 

[NomadicMedic]

New service still has LP12s. I was like, "Hey! The screen is broken, it's not in color!"

Also, no Lucas.

If you look at the episode where both trucks were on scene it looked as if both trucks had three crew.

Nothing like getting toned out for a cardiac arrest at 5:30am when you are supposed to be off at 6am -_-

I always prayed for those to be an obvious. Less paperwork.

Yeah I felt bad for my partner, he was fine with it though, more OT money.

Also, anyone have experience with the I-GELS? We just switched from king tubes to those this month, twice now that I have seen they interfere with the capno line and wont give you a reading.
