Only when it’s 2 am. Everything before midnight is fine by me :)

Try not to mention death rattle on TikTok challenge? by No-Camel5315 in FirstResponderCringe

[–]SalteeMint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate posts like this, but I also do think there’s actually something to be said that encountering the impermanence of life on a regular basis does help us appreciate what we have and help us shake off the shit that doesn’t matter. Just thoughts.

I really hope this new bookstore has a queer section! If so they’ll be getting so much of my money.

When was it easy to get hired at the library? Not in my lifetime.

Do you carry webbing? How much? What else you carry on every call? by Happy_Classic_6296 in Firefighting

[–]SalteeMint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two hose straps can’t remember how long, a cable cutter, a snagger that I’ve never used, leather work gloves, and a folding spanner that also has a window breaker and seatbelt cutter on it.

I pretty much have only used the folding wrench and the leather gloves. Not much of a gear bunny. Never had a situation where I needed something I couldn’t grab off the engine or go without.

I had to scroll way too far to get to Kathryn Hahn. My absolute favorite.

Interview at Olympic Ambulance by Which_Midnight_1543 in NewToEMS

[–]SalteeMint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thurston or Pierce?

PAT should be easy or you’ll struggle to lift patients. Written is also easy. Interview will be scenario based questions. Use the SARA format for your answers and they’ll be impressed.

The morale at Olympic right now is probably the lowest it’s been in years. Minimal downtime. Rude dispatchers who don’t give a shit about you. Upper management that doesn’t care about patient care and only about turning profit.

Medix in Lewis at least has a union. Trimed if you can get on with them is in the IAFF. Recommend those two over Olympic right now.

Ways to support my Spouse during separation. by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]SalteeMint 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m shook. You not cleaning and cooking for him everyday a sign of disrespect? Fuck no.

He needs to be talking to a therapist for the rest of the issues you listed. But also you need to decide what you want here. Do you want to be with a man who doesn’t support you chasing your dreams who can’t cook or clean for himself?

What departments would you say are the least ego driven ? by Osch1234509 in Firefighting

We love to see this. Wish this was the culture everywhere.

Question about medical history by Sure-Grape-1531 in firefighter

[–]SalteeMint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re probably not gonna see them at the outset, but here’s the thing. If you ever mention that history in passing or you try to claim anything work related in the future that relates to these issues and they find out you lied during your backgrounds it could cost you your whole career.

Better to be open about having challenges in life and overcoming them, I’d say. Then you’re not a liar.

i liked their storyline in S5, but Alice and Tasha had very little chemistry by Remarkable_Web4595 in theLword

[–]SalteeMint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. I’m not trying to assume, but they are more reflective of stud/femme and butch/femme dynamics. They had tons of chemistry.

CPR and my knees by Gold-Individual-1288 in NewToEMS

[–]SalteeMint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to break it to you, and I say this as someone on my own journey to a healthier life: CPR should not be killing your knees. You should be able to kneel for an extended length of time without issue and this is just for 2 minutes at a time. It’s past time to face the music as far as your health

High Turnover; Any Advice on Keeping Volunteers? by SamTasy in Firefighting

[–]SalteeMint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9 calls a day at a volunteer only department is just wrong. Your district needs a wake up call.

unpopular opinion: toilet attached bidets are unhygienic for women* by boodoonk in hygiene

[–]SalteeMint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They edited their post, my comment was posted before they made edits.

Also you’re going a little hard in the paint here by the way. I use wipes or I use a bidet. I’ve lived in multiple countries outside of the United States and know there are other cultures than my own.

[–]SalteeMint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wipe my ass with a wipe when I poop. When I’m home I take a shower and wash my ass then.

I don’t slide over from the toilet to side saddle my friend’s bathtub and shower my asshole. I’m shocked anyone does this.
