Why would they schedule case reviews right in the middle of the state EMS conference? Rather inconvenient.

So true. I always say that we could give the guys I work with $1 million, and half of them would complain, "it's all in 20s!"

But whining is what we do for sport where I work! But actually, I work at a good place and while things could obviously be better in some regards, it drives me up the walls when people moan for a shift. When I ask if they've worked anywhere else it's always "oh yea but those places REALLY suck!" Make of the best of it, try looking at the bright side for once.

Also my boss emailed me asking me to trade a day so he can go to a conference, to accept such a trade would destroy a 4 day vacation. Instead of traveling I would for a grand total of 12 hours. Sounds like a good deal. But then he is my boss soooo...

Yeah, a lot of the guys that work where I am now have never been anywhere else. They complain about the trucks, the equipment, the shifts, the pay, the BLS people, the quarters...
I always tell them, "go to work where I've been and I guarantee in a week you'll come running back, realizing how good you've got it."

Not sure if it's been mentioned but anyone with OnDemand should check out the BBC's "24 Hours in the ER." It's not EMS but it's a great documentary about Emergency Medicine.

11 a.m. - Found out husband has to have second surgery on broken leg. Scheduling a bone graft, and hopefully he will actually heal this time around.
2 p.m. - Interview with local hospital for full-time position in ER. I felt it went well. Now to just wait and see if I get a second interview.
4 p.m. - Missed phone call to schedule an interview with another employer. Not really sure what job the interview would be for, since I applied for several available ones I am qualified for. Guess I will find out more tomorrow when I call her back.
7 p.m. - Council meeting. They pulled the proposal that included lay-offs by dropping the sponsorship of it. Then, they tabled another proposal that was supposed to be heard that included an offer from IEMS to take over our ambulances and absorb the employees. Apparently, since the offer is still in legal and there are still some issues to be worked out, it isn't ready to go yet. The council doesn't want to read it until that time, so they can pass it and we don't loose any time at work. Had they went forward with it tonight, we would have been laid off by the mayor immediately, and been out of work until IEMS was ready to take us on. The council refuses to support anything that would cause us to loose even one day of work.
So, that was my day today. It was pretty busy, so I am looking forward to not having much at all on my plate tomorrow.

Sometimes it's really surprising that they'll just give me an ambulance and tell me to go for it. Even now.
