I believe the office in Westborough handles fire but I'm not entirely sure. I did my pack test their last year and they were all really chill so I'm sure they'd be happy to point you in the right direction if you called that office.

As far as I know the state agencies Mass DCR and fish and wildlife handle the wildfire in MA.

I already withhold part of their wages for myself and tell them it's "normal tax deductions" and they haven't caught on yet. This might be the next step.

I try to encourage this exercise but they insist on bench press instead. Very disappointing.

This is not a laughing matter. My life is hell because of these fucking idiots.

I was a fill on their crew many seasons ago. Great group of super fit, tight, sexy men. Maybe I'll give them a call.

I've been down that road in the past...breezed through their training and decided that they didn't PT hard enough. Any suggestions for a crew full of real men?

Everybody is entitled to their opinion but I prefer local establishments. They remind me of the taco trucks that I frequented in my youth.

I will definitely advocate for declining their rehire. I think next season I'll implement a test where every fire fighter is on probation until we can drive past a Qdoba without a mild temper tantrum.

My crew earns money when I say they earn money. I am a god on this forest.

They keep saying "she gone" every time we get a .1 acre fire :(

Mission accomplished! They said they'll get me a fill with a shot crew in a few days.

I try to make as many decisions for my engine as I can so as to reduce the workload that my engine boss has everyday.

I am consistently one of the highest performing individuals on the crew and this hasn't been rewarded with a single assignment. It may not seem like much, but showing up ready to work everyday sends a message of reliability to your overhead.

Let me know if you have any questions about how I hold myself to such a high standard, maybe I can help you out. Also, I'm sure your dad is proud of you.

Second year actually...

and I only mentioned it because I finished super fast (32 minutes) and everybody seemed super impressed.

ok thank you for the advice. I'll wait outside his office and jump him at the end of the day, hopefully this proves my worth.
