A Day in the Life: Take Two

1640: Paul asked me if I would help put the bags back in the truck, since we take them all out when we go out of service.

1644: We cannot find the keys. They are in Dispatch. Paul goes to start the car.

1700: The truck will not start. I stay in the office and sign in and chat with Charlie while Paul, Dan, and the supervisor try to fix it.

1720: The truck works! Something is wrong with the supervisor vehicle, though.

1730: Back in room. Waiting for Matt to call me back about dinner.

1800: Matt should be here soon. Reading a book for class.

1810: Call Matt to see where he is. He tells me that he's leaving now. He's rather slow at getting places.

1830: Went with Matt to Usdan, got burritos.

1854: in the C-store. Pager goes off. I mistake it for the bad music, then, realization dawns, and I go off. Crew splits to a second call. Mine is for a wrist injury, and it looks pretty bad. We treat and the pt is transported. Back to the office for write-up. Paul insists that the truck not starting earlier was a bad omen, and that we're in for a long night.

1959: Back in my room, I receive an e-mail stating that I have exceeded 15 GB of bandwidth. It's ridiculous, because there's no way that it actually happened. All I've done today was stream an episode of Trauma. Maybe the people in charge realize that it's terrible and are determined to keep me from watching it in the future. Highly doubt it, and will continue to watch Trauma in secret.

2133: Still reading "Stone Butch Blues" for class. Thinking of heading down to see how Matt's doing soon.

2150: In Matt's room. I do some readings, he playing video games. We watch "Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers" and I relive my childhood. He's been sick, so we cuddle for a while (mostly upon my request).

0030: We go to Einstein's for food. Mango bar!

1020: Leave Matt's. He's not feeling well at all, and didn't go to work today. =( I stop by the man in charge of the internet here, and he told me that he'll look into why I exceeded bandwidth. Back in my room, I have a hard time getting any wireless. I had a dream last night that I was transported to my home in an ambulance, standing. It was more of an RV than an ambulance.

1200: Went to class.

1318: Back in room, have a smoothie. Bringing lunch down to Matt before my next class. He's still sleeping =/

1700: Back in the office. Hand off to Mike, hang out for a few minutes, decide to go to Stats even though it's boring. Had Chamber Choir in the hot recital hall (it's 87 out and I'm in long pants) and in Theory we listened to atonal music. I don't get it. Not a bad shift, but I feel like such a whacker for craving more. Experience can't come fast enough.
