Argh...Holy

Holy Shit, it all done hit the fan this time :)

I want to go on record and say I've never done this before, and hopefully will never do it again.
Tractor fire, right? Easy, just page out the rural FD and its good - not by a long freaking shot.
They just went to this new phone paging system which takes like 10 minutes to complete, on top of paging out at the same time.

Well, first off, it's been a while since I've paged anyone but the main city fd, and we have to change channels to page the others. So, I page them out but I forget to leave it on that channel in case they need anything. So, I subsequently page them like 4 times total. Then I'm having to get directions and call the rp back since she failed to give them to me (and I failed to ask, dumbass that I am). So I have PD yelling on the radio, two lines ringing and some irate ffs...

I wish..

Its amazing how much I would love to have a hamburger right now... I had to get my braces tightened yesterday morning and my mouth isn't happy :(

It's been a crazy busy night...everyone's getting ready for spring break I guess...

Blue Collar...

It's a typical Thursday, but a nice change from last week. :)

People never fail to amaze me, a lady came in the other morning wanting to report her social security card and bank card stolen. She was fully prepared with her own pre-written statement, and some bank printouts... the only thing is, she couldn't tell us when it was stolen, and she "assumed" this one person had taken it because this same person had applied for credit cards in her grandmothers name...and this lady had at one time went to the grandmother's house...

Then she proceeded to tell the officer that she had lost nearly 3k but hadn't discovered it until nearly 2 months later...

We received a warrant for her from a neighboring county the next day for bogus checks.

like I said, I don't get people sometimes... :)

tonight I'm watching Blue Collar comedy with one of the officers...

Jinxed :)

Hum..there must be a full moon tonight. Either that or some wiseass had to open his mouth before he went off shift...in 40 minutes we've had an out of control juvenile and a domestic call...

yay.

Monday, Monday...

Got home Sunday around 330 and was informed I had to be at work at 7 to work a twelve, which is fine except I wanted to sleep :).

I knew it was going to be interesting when I walked in the back door and we already had a "detainee". ( we average like, one every few days, apparently it was a busy week).The night included watching the Oscars with the guys and arranging a welfare check in another state.

It was a nice night to come back to, but tonight is my monday, so we'll see how much mischief the town can cause. Next week is spring break, for me and all the local schools. Hopefully, they all go out of town to party --- that's what I would do :)

Some days, I sit at that desk and wonder if I'm really as good at this job as I think I am... I still mess up, which I guess is normal, but in this business messing up can mean someone gets hurt.
I'm scheduled for a storm spotting class next week, its Spring Time in Oklahoma . . . we've already had one tornado this week.
