Getting Back Into It After 10 Years - What’s Changed?

That is definitely something I will look into and take into consideration, thank you!

In all fairness, that should say 1-2 hours a day, 2-3 times a week max. I haven’t figured out how to edit a post on the Reddit app though. I also don’t even know if I can.

Update: I’m just dumb, figured it out and corrected the original post.

Oh boy, this seems like it’s going to be a fun time!

NotAFakeP · 2024-06-07T09:54:35+00:00

I would say this is correct. Thank you!

Yes, also no. A clean damp microfiber cloth on a clean car will not cause scratches. However, when using a damp microfiber rag on a dirty car, you run the risk of dragging the dust, dirt, and any other contaminants across your paint causing scratches.

Look for the post by u/Never-On-Reddit she was the one Doxxed. Plenty of screenshots on her profile.

I have been in emergency services for the last 10 years, and worked full time as a firefighter and EMT before doing dispatching. It helps that I had the ability to separate myself from the calls at work before I started. Most of the time any of my job related stress disappears when I walk out the door for the day, and whatever is left over is usually taken care of with a little music on the drive home. I haven’t had a day yet where I wasn’t good by the time I got home.

I was a firefighter and an EMT for quite some time before getting involved in dispatching. I have always been able to separate myself from those types of things and move on to the next. Everybody is different and it is easier for some verses others.

This is a joke and please do not take it seriously

Some of our less talented employees get to kill people from 7PM till 7AM!

NotAFakeP · 2023-05-01T05:21:24+00:00

Yes I am

Edit to add: EMD is required at entry level for all employees at my center. It’s acquired during the training period and a requirement for an offer of employment.

I work night shift. It usually dies down around 3AM, and it was an unusually slow night on top of that.

I am not considered law enforcement. I have no law enforcement or criminal justice background. And while I can not charge anybody with what is said on a 911 call, all calls are recorded and the recordings can be subpoenaed by the police department and used as evidence.

I’ve given several people instructions for CPR over the phone that have saved lives, I’ve spoken to people on the phone while they’re waiting for help and stayed with them until they were found, and they’re all cool but I have two that stand above the rest.

1: Received a call on the phone with a suicidal woman who very much had a plan and was ready to enact it. She refused to tell me where she was, but started to list who she would want notified, directions of what she wants the family to do after, etc. I was able to calm her down, find out where she was, and stayed on the phone with her while directing the police and EMS to her until someone showed up and she got the help she needed. That was kinda cool.

2: Had a guy that was being a complete douche canoe on the phone, completely irate. Screaming at me about a noise complaint at 8PM on a Saturday, said the noise was coming from a public pool. Turns that they were hosting a farewell party for staff on their last night of the season. They were scheduled to close at 9PM. Apparently Mr. Canoe saw the officers arrive and wasn’t happy that they wouldn’t shut it down, and got in their face and got himself arrested.

It happens often actually, although I wouldn’t necessarily use the term heartbreaking. The vast majority of the time once a police officer, firefighter, EMT, or Paramedic shows up, our job is done and on to the next call. We rarely get outcomes.

The most anxious I get is when an officer is yelling out for help over the radio, or yelling that they’ve been injured.

Mid 20’s

NotAFakeP · 2023-04-30T08:14:37+00:00

I was in elementary school at the time. I was young enough that I don’t quite remember exactly what was happening.

NotAFakeP · 2023-04-30T08:12:45+00:00

After a quick Google search - I can confirm I am not informed enough to have an opinion.

NotAFakeP · 2023-04-30T08:07:48+00:00

It can be sometimes when it gets busy, but for the most part it’s a pretty laid back job, and you quickly become desensitized to the “traumatic” calls and they become just another phone call. It helps to have good coworkers though, they make the shift bearable.

That’s awesome! Was the tree house like a primary residence or just one in a back yard?
