I am a bit sleep but I can't go to bed yet, else I'll be up at 4am. :eek:

4am is my daily wake up. Doesn't matter when I go to sleep. 8pm, 1am, 4am I am wide awake and ready to face the world.

Do you drink a lot of coffee? :D

I'm usually up a bit before 6am regardless if it's a workday or not. I will sleep in to 6:30am to as late as 7am if I am kept up very late. But I just can't sleep late. Once it's light out, I'm up. It's the same reason I'm a terrible napper.

What is a nap? No, coffee is okay when it is cold, but typically not something I drink. I like water.

Today was a good day, until, after the last jobsite, we were driving home and I saw the motorcyclist on the road. He was face down, not moving. It had just happened and pissed me off my boss would not stop because it freaks him out. I am trained to help. It's in my nature to assist. I wanted him to stop. I can't get the image out of my head.

I am a water drinker also. But I do like a few sips of coffee in the mid afternoon to stave off the afternoon yawns.

Oh I am so sorry. That is truly awful. :( Were you able to call 911 to alert them? Or were there already emergency personnel on the scene?

There were people gathered, not sure if the car or truck hit him, but they were on the phone. The scene was that fresh. I knew my boss wouldn't stop no matter what I said. I didn't realize how much this would affect me. I think it may be time to start volunteering again.

I am glad there were people there and help was being notified. That is the most important thing. I can understand you wanting to stop and help. :) Maybe it is a sign indeed. There are many ways to volunteer and help out. Thankfully this fellow had people on sight.

What would you like to do as a volunteer?
 
S and C having similar sounds at times, and both being similar in utility in patterns is interesting. You see them and wrought-iron a lot. SSSSSSSSSSS or CCCCCCCCC

SCSCSCSCSCSCSCSCSCSCSCS.

All sorts of cool patterns!

I have jumped in and helped on fresh scenes. It's not something that I live for but I can keep a clear head and do what needs to be done. I've been lucky enough to never have to change modes from rescue and assistance to that of recovery. When you jump into a rescue, remember that your first job is to not be another statistic.
 
"Why yes, i would indeed like to waste more of my life completing the quick customer satisfaction survey at the end of this overly long and most unhelpful call (i will pay for on this months phone bill.)
I would however like to complete your survey whilst repeatedly slamming the nuts of your call centre staff member as hard as possible in his desk drawer,whilst leisurely massaging the oxygen from within his lungs with my free hand in an attempt to end the breeding cycle of these hopeless shit talking degenerates you repeatedly employ to operate your call centre.."
Godamn mother fucking drones.

Sigh.. Thanks for being there Lit.

:D
 
2 apple pies and a bonus peach one ready to be made due to a clear out of the freezer... i think we need to invite some people to help eat all this stuff; we've still got danish pastries and some gingerbread/cake to finish up! :eek:

In an eating contest, could you out-gobble Wings?

I keep an EMT bag in my truck. I've never had to use it, but it's there just in case. Like the condom that's been in my wallet since high school.

Well said and timely. I just had a similar experience.

The fucking phone company apparently expects me to pay for Robocalls and expects me to pay MORE money to buy Caller ID.

How many ways are there to say, "Ain't gonna fucking happen." They'll lose this customer first.

 
Apparently the warmth is coming. But the weather clairvoyants have been wrong before.
