Time to catch everyone up

I have been working a lot. I thought I was going to have a new boss a few weeks ago, turns out he is arriving in mid July. The Branch Chief is gone!! WHOO-HOOOO! Getting to be the busy time of the year with the end of the FY coming up. I see long days in my future!!
Recently a good friend from high school got in touch with me. This has lead to getting in touch with several other friends from back then. There have been a lot of emails flying. Several of them are getting together for a mini-reunion in a few weeks. I am thinking of heading home in the fall, so we may try to schedule another one when I am in town.
I have been running a lot of calls. I took some leave in June and spent some extra time at the station. Last night I took my test to be "cut loose." I am now an "Officer in Charge" it is really just a title. Does not change much about what I do except, I no longer have to wait a few minutes before we can respond to a call. I am looking at taking EVOC (Emergency Vehicle operators Course) sometime in July. This will allow me to start learning to drive the ambulances. We had elections for officers and some are not happy about the some of the out comes. Nominations have been submitted for awards to be handed out at our banquet in September. Rumor has it that I may be EMS Rookie of the Year. Do not think I deserve it, but not my call.
I will try to do better at keeping this updated.
