First day as a medic and what record do I set? The most weight I have lifted in one shift. So many people over 300 pounds today and the ones that weren't were still close to it...and not even dudes that are 6'5 either. No idea what these folks weighed anymore, I just know that when we are lifting someone in the truck and I think "dammit, this feels heavier than I thought it would" multiple times throughout the day I did some kind of wrong in the world for dispatch to punish me. Starting to miss the nursing homes on the other side of the river

A Beer on me(if I can find you) if you can guess the riddle
Riddle: "a man is placed in a desert and is given a plastic shovel, has 8 feet thick concrete walls placed around him, including ceiling, how does he get out"

Dig through the desert sand below him? He's got concrete walls and roof, but no mention of a concrete floor....

He opens the door and walks out?

Hmm. He's in a basement so he goes up the stairs?

Or there's only three walls around him.

All 4, connecting walls with ceiling no basement

He uses the shovel to make a big pile of dirt and goes out through the skylight.

I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. I like the pay, benefits and the environment's OK, but....

your health >pay and benefits... i learned it the hard way.. If YOU feel tired and exhausted and "so done" with that service, switch. It will catch up with you at some point.

We're all going to apply at Orange County NC. Maybe we can all work together.

Rocket is running out of services.

What's NC like for pay, benefits, etc?

I think a lot of it is that I just want to make a decently massive amount of money and not have to "promote" through years of unnecessaryness. Put another way...

It's not that I'm done with any particular service, I really just think that I need a new set of challenges to embrace and master. I kind of want to try teaching full-time but I like the OT and adrenaline and such. Either that, or maybe actual management. Supervisor was a silly, hard, and unrewarding role, but I think that I could manage the poop out of things given the right circumstances.

There's no easy way to get to the top of the mountain. You have to climb and climb and climb.

Pay and retirement isn't as good as you're making now. (I'd guess).

About the same, from the looks of it. My eyes were lured by the "director" jobs...

For the right job, I'd give it a shot. Mom lives in NYC.

I'm moving to a strictly admin job at my new place but I don't know if that's going to make me happy. I suffer from the malady known as the "search for the unicorn"
