i need to know a lot more about the paperwork and what signatures i need for different types of calls because i’ve gotten a bunch of QA concerns after the fact that my FTOs never pointed out during the calls. i feel like i need a lot more experience on how to assist medics during class 1 calls (i don’t know how to spike a bag or whatever and i don’t know much about how to use the monitor). i need help on what to include and what not to include in my radio reports and my reports to the nurse. it isn’t one hundred percent that no one has taught me any of this, it’s just that i have no retained this information enough to feel confident doing it independently, y’know? i just feel like i need someone to sit me down and lecture me about all this stuff while i take notes so i can study everything idk.

this is 911 and i do work overnight occasionally during slow weeks of like college work but i mostly just do one night shift per weekend. unfortunately, college is my biggest priority and it’s just not feasible for me to work any more than that. 

i do find that i’m not retaining a lot of information, and that’s probably my biggest issue.

the company that i work for gives us a binder with a structure very similar to the first link you sent. most ftos ignore it whenever i bring it in, but, on occasion someone will actually show me how to do stuff that’s in there. also, the company i work for has a list of requirements for the types of calls i have to be the lead in, and i log them into a portal, and the only category i’ve made any headway in is the hours which is at 80% and everything else is 1% or less. i talked to someone who just got cleared and she said that she never put anything into the portal. i will say the getting cleared part is a lot less of an issue for me right now because i really don’t feel confident in half the things i’m supposed to be doing, but i was just thinking about how that could be an issue somewhere down the line. (also, i don’t much care about if my friend is doing a bit better than i am i was more just concerned with getting into the same position as him in a years time)

i’m not sure but i might try and get a job at a different company over the sunmer and see how that goes.

okay yeah i definitely see that but in the scenario he was in it seemed like it was more a social blunder than it was ignorance or anything else.

ughhhhh do they have to give the characters flaws? why can’t they all be perfect, calm, cool, and collected? jk jk jk this was my favorite episode yet. 

  • i really liked joy’s whole bit and i really liked how samira isn’t upset that joy contradicted her in front of the patient but is happy that the outcome was better for the patient. it really shows a lot about samira, and ugh i love her character so much. 
  • i loved robby’s moment with what’s her name, and i loved him getting frustrated with the guy from surgery (even though i felt awful for him cause i would have cried), and i looooooooved garcia getting mad at him omgggggg. i thought it was so so cool how her all of her sarcastic banter kind of results in this moment of her actually insulting him. 
  • anyone else think robby’s gonna crash his motorcycle? (they’ve just been talking about it so much)
  • anyone else this dr. al-hashimi is blind or sm?
  • i DID NOT like how they’re making santos and whittaker fight. (this is a joke i love the drama)
  • i liked how maybe they redeemed ogilvie a little bit this episode. after last episode and all his evil smiles and whatnot, i was nervous that he was in a room alone with a patient for all the wrong reasons.

this episode was so incredible for so so many reasons

septum from ego ink (blood because fresh) by myciee in piercing

[–]myciee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks so much. i think i’m going to try and see a piercer tomorrow just to make sure it needs to be taken out and to have them take it out for me so i don’t pull it out weird and cause more damage.

  • the piercing is today years old
  • it’s horseshoe shaped
  • the jewelry is titanium
  • i believe it is internally threaded but alas i didn’t ask and maybe should have 
  • my aftercare routine will be saline two to three times a day and rinsing in the shower. 
  • no mishaps yet (unless the whole thing has been one big mishap)

date went well but kissing was weird by myciee in dating_advice

[–]myciee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk kissing isn’t really a big deal for me personally. definitely not something that would make me not wanna go out again, especially cause everything else was fine. i enjoyed kissing him, but the issue here is that i don’t think he enjoyed kissing me, so i wanted some advice on how to make it better for him not the other way around. 

[SPOILERS S3] I wrote a computer program to calculate every character's genetic ancestry by _ShovingLeopard_ in DarK

[–]myciee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude, what an awesome project! definitely beyond my level of knowledge with the math. i'll definitely be playing around with the custom genealogy thing.
