    Well mine went from uneventful to dead, if you get my meaning. I hate listening to a mother sob bc she found her son deceased... :heartbreak: I don't miss having to take those medical calls one bit.

    EMT or nurse? I'm in law enforcement, don't like those notifications either

    @Dreamcrusher16 911. The center I worked for before did LE, fire, and ems dispatching. I now work for a 911 center that just does LE. All fire/medical calls get transferred to another agency.

    I'm border patrol, thankfully we don't have to do a lot of those calls.

    Had my 1st shift last night. It went pretty well! My patrol officer (the person who will check in on me) told me "off the record" that I can totally sleep and when the best time to do that will be. I have to admit, it will help a lot to at least know I won't get in trouble if I get caught sleeping.

    I hate those ones enough when it's animal related, can't even imagine dealing with people and death.

    Haha, tonight's meal prep was wasted. Work got busy so my only food was half a bag of chips and a sugar free monster.

    Night crew is on. The only cases I've seen tonight were rechecks. Two were pretty upset clients. I had to swear at the one to get her to shut up and listen. She said she is going to report me to the board for that. I told her go ahead. I think she was surprised. She shut up and listened and it all worked out just fine.

    You can learn SO much by listening and observing.

    Do you ever have one of those days when you wonder why you don't just climb in the truck and head for parts unknown and hope no one ever finds you?

    I wish the woman my partner and I are training would stop running her mouth and just listen. I don't know how she worked at the 911 center she came from with the attitude that she has; rude to us, the officers, brass, and the public. She's been here 6 weeks and my partner and I want to throw our hands up. Between my partner and I, we've trained at least 10 successful 911 telecommunicators. We've both tried different ways to help her and nothing is working. Yesterday our supervisor wanted us to throw the book at her and today wants us to coddle her.

    I'm over it. I want to eat carbs, lay in bed, and wait for TOM to show up :tired_face:

    Been off work, on drugs (naproxin 500's and Tylenol 3's scrips), and can't do anything but read, listen to the radio, eat stuff I shouldn't because it's easy to handle with one arm/hand, and watch DVD's.
    Very badly strained deltoid and biceps on my dominant arm - done at work - I will be off for another week & 1/2 if all goes well. Come Monday I will have to deal with WorkSafe BC but they shouldn't give me too much problem as I just need to get paid time off and coverage for rehab facilities, it's not like this is going to cripple me for life.
    Going crazy because I need to balance resting my injured muscles with movement of joint or I will be sorry. I have a background in Physio Rehab so I will be doing my own physio, but I don't have access to a bunch of lovely machines - will be doing old skool stuff, lol.

    OD'ing on those darned mini peppermint candy canes (they were on sale 800g for 50 cents - Christmas clearout), the only exercise I'm getting is squats up & down off the couch as I walk across the room to the covered wooden candy dish.

    I'm left hand typing and mousing so pardon any weird spelling/grammar.

    @canadjineh All is forgiven! :relaxed:

    @bethanie0825 I know that training frustration. Had a waitress like that once. I don't know HOW she managed to EVER make money where she was at before. She didn't make money with us and quit 3 days out of training. :trollface:

    I hope everyone's night is going fairly well. :smile:
