The Start of something?

I often have wondered if I could ever have the ability to write, or compose something. I can run on once I get to typing and it just comes easy since typing class in high school. I don't know how fast I type anymore but I could do up to 30-40 words a minute back then or faster. I am starting this blog to kinda show my life and log things that happen. I won't use any names or locations as that wouldn't be allowed by state/federal laws. I will do my best to keep the details together but sometimes they might sound totally crazy but it does happen.

I work in EMS things are always crazy. Nothing goes totally as planned, nothing happens when you want it to, nothing is worth really going on about. I have been in EMS several years now and work in a mostly rural area with under 25,000 citizens. I never intended to stay in EMS let alone have a job in EMS. It was accidental. I hope you enjoy my life and stories and maybe get a laugh or two a week. Come again and I hope you like my stories.

Everyone have a great day see you in a few with a new story or blog. Bloggerific!

Fall

It seems as the temperatures start to change, so do attitudes among co-workers.  Its almost like the cooler weather triggers animosity.  The simplest of things can trigger someone.  Lately things have been kind of that way anyways.  We were in the process of training one new dispatcher, and he was not quite up to par, and it seemed like everything resulted in a review of how he was handling things, from trying to field calls himself, to just down right ignoring important details from callers.  Then at at some point he decided to quit, as we were just barely ready to release the trainee who was hired before him.   So now we are short staffed again, as such as been the norm for about the last 2 years off and on.  I don't think administration has anything to do with it. Eh, well I actually do.   The past year we have seen a major shakeup.  We saw not only a change of leadership in the agency, we also experienced changes of leadership o...
