Not much new here, aside from the stupid amount of sun we’ve been exposed to. For God’s sake, this is the Pacific Northwest. we’re simply not used to not being rained on constantly. Everything I own has finally dried out and I’m lovin’ it!
I’m not working again until Thursday, when I’m pulling a fill in 24 for someone who needs a day off. The scheduling guru told me I can expect another week of float work until the new 24 hour shifts come on line. That’s fine with me. I’ve just been getting stuff done around the house. Haircut, bike tuneup, garage cleaning. The typical stuff that I never have time for.
As soon as I get word on the new shifts, I have to let the folks at the water park know. I’ve had them on hold until I know more about my “real” schedule. All of my friends with kids (and some without kids) have asked if I get free passes to the park. “Yep, I do.” All of the people that want to go have already put in their request. Don’t worry guys, I’ll hook ya up. I promise.
This early summer in Seattle rocks.
What does an EMT do at the water park? Is it mostly handing out band-aids?
Yeah, at the water park we're on Boo Boo patrol. Band aids for blisters, skinned knees and other miscellaneous scrapes and cuts. Some ice packs and compression wraps for twisted ankles and a couple of times a year someone needs serious help. A guest may become entrapped in a ride, suffer cardiac arrest, a maintenance staff member may get injured in the shop, food service worker gets burned… It's a very crowded place and while most of the time it's pretty mellow, it can get a bit nutty when things go sideways.
Send me some sun… We keep getting rain, rain, and more rain.
Oh, and I blogroll'd ya!
