20 April, 2009. 7:22 PM.

Best shift ever and it is over. Ran into Kassie and unnamed primary in Usdan and talked about all sorts of random EMS things. Talked with Kassie about someone we know from BEMCo who tends to be moody, and she joked that he was PMS-ing, which I then changed to EMS-ing. Yay for bad puns!

Went by Matt’s room later—he wasn’t answering my calls, so I wasn’t sure if he would even be there. He was, asleep, and had been since I left him that morning around 11:30. He’s getting sick again. Been sick most of this semester. I’m getting sick too, which sucks for having to rehearse or perform for five hours every day this week.

Matt went to shift change at 5, I got to Slosberg at 5 and then had to go to the Castle to get a book before class started in Slosberg at 5:10—I almost made it. However, shift change went really fast and I didn’t get to walk back with Matt. Meh.

Another shift this Friday. Again—really happy with how shifts are feeling now. It’s just become another fact of our existence and isn’t so much a novelty anymore.

In rehearsal now. Not singing for fear of losing voice. Tired. Posts becoming more terse. Too exhausted to be verbose.

  1. It's always interesting to read how others describe a mutual expierence... You no longer need to be so secret about my identity-- my firt name does just fine.
    Some important and interesting reading and watching regarding EMS includes:
    Mother, Juggs and Speed (movie)
    The House of God (Book)
    En Route: stories of a paramedic, Kelly Grayson (book)
    A few episodes of Emergency! (TV show)
    some Dan Limmer (lecturer)
    EMTLife (Matt and my contributions to frustrations about EMS)
    I will add to this list later...
