My day job right now is at Home Depot. Retail SUCKS during the Holidays. I am a power specialist in inside garden, and we handle all the Christmas stuff. For the last few shifts I have either been cutting and bagging Christmas trees (my store sells almost 5,000 a year) or I have been working the seasonal area. I was actually excited about my first Christmas there three years ago, but that was crushed pretty quickly. Woo-hoo retail!

So, we were at the station for a grand total of 20 minutes yesterday before our first call came in for an MVC.


No injuries, contrary to the truck rolling and cab coming off.

I spent one holiday season at Wal-Mart in Electronics, one at a motorcycle dealer in the parts department. I'm glad to not do that again

And that is why you should not drive a Dodge!

You want a Truck? Get a Chevy! I was involved in a rollover in my Chev, and I continued to drive it for almost a month afterward. You could hardly tell it had been in a wreck.

Just got a news article sent to me... Seems an ambulance was involved in a fatal wreck on I25 in NM just north of where I used to work... :( Thoughts going out to the crew involved. They were not at fault in this one, the car they hit was driving the wrong way on I25

Hope you enjoy the cold front that just came through Dallas, Sasha.



I love the cold, but only when it is accompanied by snow. If there is no snow to be had there is no reason to have cold.

It was 24* when I left the station yesterday morning.

Mornings we've been getting down around 28 or so. But it usually warms up a few hours later

Its interesting that in life we are constantly reading words, phrases,ect.. of other creators. Even though we do not know there morals nor intentions, they seem to reach out to us and we follow. Example school books, we trust that what is written is what we must follow and is the correct knowledge. Its like a dominal effect like what we are doing now! There is so much power in words, it has great capabilitys of extracting many different emotions. Yet there is no name for this creator. We are all creators and are yet to realize the power behind our words!

Looks like we in the same boat on both accounts. It is freezing here.

And sometimes I just get so dang sick of everything. You know what I mean? When not only does everything seen to not go right, it seems like it is going horribly wrong. Everything you touch breaks. Everything you say is misunderstood. Nothing good you do is enough. Everything bad you do is way to much. Your friends misunderstand you. And you just feel rotten inside in general. That's were I've been stuck the past few days.

Fine, I'll shut up. No one wants to hear me complain I know. No one cares what a random idiot on an internet forum is going on and on about. It just feels slightly better to rant.

Thank you.

It's been a month without calls, despite every other crew getting all kinds of interesting stuff. I'm starting to worry that when I finally get one, it's going to be huge and crazy and I'll have no idea what I'm doing.

Just got my acceptance back from university of Vermont :). My number one choice, into the bio program with a concentration in premedical studies.

Congrats!

That's what the internet is for...

Sorry to hear, though.

But you're our favourite idiot! :D

How about a ride in Brown's big red helicopter, here, put this orange jumpsuit on and lets go; keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times, no flash photography, no spekaing to the driver, no eating, drinking or loud rap music.

Ambulance hello its Medivac, airborne .....
