The time has come for my 9 glorious days of time off/recovery to be over. Sadly it wasn’t the vacation you’re all envisioning, but it was a nice distraction from the world of work. Now that I’m back and on the clock, I’m hoping for an easy night or two but not optomistic…
We’ve been getting snow for the last few nights that, while gone by mid day, is a real pain in the ass for us competent people in the moring. See, incompetent people don’t seem to understand that just like last year and every year before, snow comes, causing the pavement to get wet and sometimes slick. This means you HAVE TO ADJUST YOUR DRIVING APPROPRIATELY! Seriously people.
Much of our job is the result of stupid people doing stupid things. Often times these stupid antics cause innocent people to be hurt or worse die. When you roll out onto the roads this winter(yes I know, it is only Fall, but Mother Nature changed her damn mind this year and I can’t control that) please take your time getting where your going. Worse than you getting hurt, is you hurting someone else. To my EMS/LEO friends: Watch your backs. Wear those stupid vests. No one can protect you like you can.
Godspeed friends.
Back to work…..
