Where is time going?

I have so wanted to put something on here.  I have been doing some reading lately and neglecting my visitors to my blog, which I can see we are getting with nearly 100 views since I put up the tracking tool.  I don't know if these are unique views or just reloads, or people coming back to check again. 

I have been slammed for several shifts.  I get through to about the down side and the last few hours beat my butt.  I have had calls come in at the same time and no units to handle the calls.  I hate that stress, but I can't make units from toothpicks or dust which we seem to have a lot of, which I found out a few nights ago.  I had to do some quick repairs and diagnostics and climbed under the desk, which is very dusty an dirty.  I found myself surrounded in dust, and debris.  I stood up and dusted myself off, shedding the dirt which I thought I had left from previous jobs for a desk job. 

I guess I was mistaken.  But I enjoy doing something different now and then it breaks the tedious nature of the job.  But it always seems like if something can go wrong it does when I am in the middle of something.  But I solved the problem with some help over the phone from the supervisor and was back running in under 15 minutes.

I really cannot think of anything to funny or interesting that has happened to myself recently.  I have been enjoying the warmer than normal weather, which I think is about to leave at least for the next week or so.  

Things have really been going well for myself and my family lately, I cannot complain.  I had never expected to be enjoying things as well as I do.  I find myself digging further into my job to look for projects I can work on, instead of watching TV, and doing nothing between calls.  I have always been a helper, sometimes I get in a slump.  And I just want to watch TV, but it comes and goes maybe even in the same day.  I wish that I had more to write about so it wasn't so boring for the readers.  Although no one seems to comment so I wonder if anyone reads, or if my blog is just being crawled over by bots.  I really enjoy writing, and I saw something about e-publishing the other day and how more are looking to it in this technological age.  I have given it thought, but I have nearly 35 pages of typed document to go over and review and edit to tell the stories I have written and am writing.  I wonder if it would be worth my time.  What would I title my work?  Who would read it?  How would I market it?  How do I sell it?   The answers circle my head, and my anticipation of the day I make a decision lingers. 

I hope everyone the best and don't leave me yet, I will bring my blog, just got to get into a better groove of putting time in for it.  And remembering to make myself notes when things do come up.

Thanks for reading to those who are reading.  Feel free to comment even just to let me know you are reading.  I appreciate you all!

Days back

I wrote this several days ago, maybe weeks, I am behind putting them up so there might be several days blasted with updates and blogs which are longer. When did I book the trip on this insane train? I was enjoying some computer games when I heard some thunder . Shortly after that it began to rain, I mean POUR! I am hearing radio traffic like crazy, police, city crews, sheriff's department, Department of Transportation, WATER IS EVERYWHERE, and the highways are even impassable and are close to traffic. 1 hour later, I get a call from work, They need me in for a transfer of a critical patient, and we are taking a nurse. I tell them I will do my best to get there. My street has a few places where water is running over the road, I go a few blocks and then find more water. I have never seen this much water standing and moving, at least not here! There is a stress you have to deal with in this situation, you have to worry your vehicle will be carried by the water as you go through the wa...

The LZ

ATV's can be dangerous, as I have found out through a few calls. We are dispatched for an ATV accident, we go to the location, which is a few miles from the road. My partner takes off and goes down, while I get the truck turned around and try to get things setup for her. She calls back for me to radio for a helicopter. In just a few minutes she knew we needed a chopper. I called for a chopper telling dispatch to go ahead and dispatch a rescue crew to setup an LZ for us, since the fire department was already on scene with us assisting. The male was riding with a young girl on the back, they had went down into a creek, and then on the way out, the four wheeler front end lifted up, he was able to throw the younger girl off, but he wasn't able to clear himself from the path, as it fell backwards onto him. He was partially in the creek and underneath the large ATV. He was cold, and pale, he looked like he was dead, and his respirations were shallow, all the primary signs of...

Downward Spiral

The past month has started a rapid downward spiral, not totally on me.  I thought things were going good, we were almost to the point of being fully staffed, it was kind of exciting.  And then IT happened.  One of the rather new rookies had a bad day, I mean it was bad, but not terrible.  They fumbled, they struggled, but they made it out at the end of the day, as well as everyone they sent.  But they complained that it was a terrible day and they were not coming back.  The next day was a new day, they showed up.  They did the job they were paid to, the one they were hired for, and went on with the day like the day before had not been any issue.  Then it happened I was off and got a message to call in when I had a chance.  I called in and the supervisor informed me that the employee had quit and was no longer on the schedule so it would affect the entire schedule.  I was asked if I could take any other shifts, I reluctantly drudged thr...
