Where do I start, almost half the year so far consumed by panic. I am at a loss for words with the events we have seen this year. I've gone from scared to more like cautiously safe. I do things I shouldnt like go out without a mask.
Another year approaching the threshold entering new explorations, new challenges, the same game. Coworkers have came and went a few more than normal this past year and likely more any day now. I am starting to think more like a go with the flow person and less with a complainer attitude. I won't say this year was easy, there were many 12 hour shifts and shift coverages due to long term illness and resignations. Nearing 10 years in the seat behind the headset and at times I feel unwanted, unrespected. Then a day comes up where my officers thank me or have a discussion with me about nothing. But it shows they are people to who maybe forget dispatchers need asked if they are ok too.
