We don't post. Run out of our main station or a fire department substation.

At the station: Tv. workout, sleep. And joke around. We have it pretty good even though the sleep doesnt last much longer than 2 to 3 hr intervals if were lucky.

2-3 hour intervals sound nice. We get dispatch paging us constantly to come 10-8 from a call so they can drop tones on us. I like it though. 12 hours of go go go makes the day go by fast.

Thats how its been for us. 8-9 calls in a 12 hr shift. Paged the.next call before we clear the last one.

My first call today was at 130 and we got on at 10. Sometimes we have a ton of free time. Naps are always an option.

For some reason the sups have a problem with us napping... even on 72hr shifts

Thats ridiculous. If you answer the radio then who cares? We do whatever we want as long as we answer

I'm with a campus-based EMS system that only works as first response, so we don't get posted anywhere but we do spend 12- and 16-hour shifts in the station.

When I'm not walking around campus, I've been working through a small library of Nintendo 64 games in the station. If I'm not doing that, I'm either on my laptop or sleeping; and I'll probably start bringing in my EMT book to re-read a few sections every now and again.

Seeing as how my partner is usually asleep, i've found my old gameboy and been wrecking lives on that old thing, sleep, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia DVD's at the moment

I found my old Gameboy Color with a copy of Pokemon Silver still in it just a few days before I was going to leave for college

Today, I discovered the built-in WiFi hot spot feature in my iPhone. My laptop is now my bestfriend during long shifts.
