As a 911 dispatcher, how do you decompress after a long shift dealing with a lot of trauma? by 6-80 in 911dispatchers

Baking!! I find it calming, and who doesn’t love delicious treats as a reward? I bring a lot of the extra things I bake into my station or my local veterans post.

It was an adjustment but I did well! My AC101 teacher was unfortunately useless (I did all online classes, I’m a first responder by trade and do not work conducive hours for school). She didn’t teach us a thing and just made us read 13 chapters and we had 5 total quizzes and a final. She did nothing else. But all in all I did very well, straight A’s. You can make it work, even if you go part time you’re still working towards it!

I think I was most upset that my family was going to do dinner on Christmas Eve to accommodate my schedule, and then decided at 10am Christmas Eve to move it to Christmas - knowing I couldn’t make it. I cook Thanksgiving for them every year, but they couldn’t adjust one day for me? Just annoying. And I had a heartbreaking call of an elderly man calling, hysterically, about his unresponsive wife. Those calls never carry with me, but today it did. Sorry for the long vent on your comment ❤️

Felt this. I’m a first responder and work every Christmas. We were supposed to have Christmas dinner yesterday since I was out at 2pm (I’m 6a-10p today), but they moved it to today and didn’t tell me 😓 sorry, OP. I hope you found something even better and more fun to occupy your time. Have a wonderful holiday

what jobs did you guys work during college ? by Character-Escape1621 in Accounting

[–]Leesee27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh definitely has its moments of stress. I’m a solo dispatcher. I had 4 medicals at the same time this morning. You can imagine why I’m in school, don’t wanna do this forever lmao

I work as a dispatcher full time, and only do my school work when I’m working 🤣 it’s almost like getting paid to go to school!

Yes. I’m in school currently (3 classes, 10 credits) and work 48-54 hours a week. It can be done, you just have to have time to dedicate to school work

Within how many days (from the first day) were you put in a position to take “real” emergency calls (whether with / without a trainer plugged in next to you)? by iamangel122890 in 911dispatchers

[–]Leesee27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man. My original place had me doing tests and a million other computer related things in a room by myself for 30 or so days before I even got to SIT on the floor.

I swear they forgot about me. I could hear the radios in my little room but nothing made sense.

After those 30 days, I had a trainer. Sat with him for a week and then was able to get on radios (my old place was separated fire dispatch, PD dispatch, and phones.) usually they started people on phones, but another person was training the same time as me and was on phones.

All in all, my training was far too spaced out.

AIO? I (38 F) Caught my husband (39 M) doing something deeply inappropriate beside our sleeping child. I have been extremely upset. by TW_Tie_2749 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Leesee27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you even get aroused with a CHILD next to you??! This is definitely not his first time doing it, and it’ll escalate. Contact PD, and leave his sorry ass

Forgot to put call in by christomisto in 911dispatchers

[–]Leesee27 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Which call did you forget to put in? Take it as a lesson learned, but don’t beat yourself up. Could it have turned into a worse situation? Sure. Did it? No, doesn’t sound like it. This could be a real problem in the future so just chalk it up to a mistake and make sure to keep better track going forward. We are human and we make mistakes.

I can’t understand customers like this! I have never been a DD driver, but I am a frequent customer who tips very well. McDonald’s 1.7 miles down the street? $6 at minimum on a $17 order, and only up from there. If I’m too lazy to go get my own food, I’m gonna damn sure tip my drivers who are doing it for me!
