20 April, 2009. 10:31 AM.

So far, this has been an incredibly pleasant shift. Matt and I got to talk last night after he got back from the call, and then left to go do work and I went to sleep. He told me about the new primary, apparently doing fine but worrying about some things and forgetting his pager in places.

Went to see Matt after Theory lab—had to play a nice game of “can you find the EMT in this picture?” He’s curled up in bed under a blanket surrounded by clothes that he still hasn’t put away from break. He’s completely out of it, so I’m not going to try to interact with him. Adorable, though.

I was telling someone last night that when I was watching him run to the call, I felt a sense of admiration—he’s going to do important things. He’ll tell me that they don’t save lives, and who am I to argue with someone who knows what they’re talking about, but their work is important.
Also, I’d totally love to hang out with today’s crew—I know all of them (not counting the supervisor) and they’re all very cool people. I can BS my way through conversations with EMTs fairly well. Or we could talk about normal people things. Pshh.
