Another First

On Mothers Day I ran my first working code. We had just finished eating dinner with Joans folks and the pager went off. Subject not breathing. Thinking there would not be many folks at the station on the afternoon of Mothers Day, I headed up. We arrived on scene, second to another ambulance. They were getting ready to move patient to the rig. They were a two person crew and wanted more hands so I went. Just before we pulled out the medic showed up and got on. Boy, did it seem like a long ride. Unfortunately patient had been down too long before anyone arrived and was pronounced upon arrival at the hospital.
I also extended my contract with the National Guard for 3 years. I have not turned in the paperwork yet. Still thinking about it.
Work really stinks. It seems the closer the boss gets to leaving the more I am doing wrong. I can not wait until July!!
Truck took a crap this week. When I was able to get someone with a tow truck go to get it from the parking lot a work, it started. Felt like an idiot. Took it to the shop so that they can check the fuel pump.
Not much else going on.

Lots going on

Well, in the long time since I last posted a lot has happened. I have started working part time at Budds Creek, a motocross track. I guy at my station works for the ambulance company that has the contract to provide EMTs. Learned how to ride a quad. Boy, I was I sore the day after that. I also had my first really nasty accident. I was not sure if the guy was going to make it when we putting in the Park Police Helicopter. I found out later he has been released.
Work has been really kicking my butt. I can not wait until I get a program manager in a few weeks, also looking forward to branch chief moving on in July. July will begin the worst time of year at work, but I will survive with the knowledge that one way or another, it will be my last rollover.
I have to take a PT test around the end of the month or beginning of June. I call it the run for the mortgage because if I do not pass, I could get kicked out. I have been working out twice a day most days lately.
Still thinking about running at Waldorf. When Hughesville found out I was thinking about running there some they freaked. I was told they do not want to lose me and within a week I had a pager. Already had one from Waldorf, even though I had not applied. My buddy at Waldorf says just come and run when ever, don't have to worry about joining. I just want to run more calls and get better. Some at my station see it as being a traitor or something.

Oh, well. More next time.
