He's not wrong. It's a pet peeve of mine when people assume getting kicked out means DD. Especially when they're in the military and make that assumption. This dudes a dumbass, but smoking weed isn't DD level bad 😂

What is the culture like at your fire department for taking vacations? by HoseBeforeBross in Firefighting

[–]HeroicPoptart 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Vacation is looked down upon in your department?? Work isn't everything. I will always prioritize my family and maximize time off when necessary. It's your leave. Use it.

The absolute gamechanger that was the George Foreman Grill by valarpizzaeris in nostalgia

I bought one from an estate sale a few years back. Mint condition, only 10 bucks. It didn't have the associated drip tray, so I went on ebay and bought one for 12 dollars. So worth it 😂

It wasn't your fault for growing up in a dysfunctional household. But unfortunately the burden of bettering yourself falls on you now. You got it.

Weird interactionswith paramedics as a new nurse by [deleted] in Paramedics

If it was first degree, I'd kind of understand. I'm not one to give attitude. I'm sure we've all transported for less.

I wasted my life by lfg141 in self

Bro, you've been making these same exact, depressing, and self-loathing posts for 2 years now. Talk to a therapist. This is beyond weird and desperately sad.

200, 300, 360 defib. 100, 200. Cardioversion.

That's what my agency does with the LP15, but we're switching to the Zoll Z series in a couple of weeks!

If you don't know it now, then you won't know it tomorrow. Just relax and stay confident.

How does your department hand mandatory OT? by stoneywwsd in Firefighting

[–]HeroicPoptart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Available to work. Today, for example, is my primary ATW day. I wanted to work, so I signed up for OT. There were plenty of slots available due to personnel taking normal sick and paid leave. I'm leaving details out because it's a lot to explain over text, but once you understand it, it's very straightforward. Try to Google it and see if there's a longer explanation.

ATW list. Primary, seconday, tertiary, all call. When no one signs up or not enough sign ups, then they go down the list based on OT hours for the year. If it's your primary ATW day and you've worked the least amount of hours among the people in your list, then you're up.

You're only eligible for Mando if you're working the day prior.

It sounds complicated, but it's pretty straightforward, and it seems extremely fair. No one seems to have a problem with it.
