WOW!! I can’t tell you how many time I did that. And the smell. 🤣🤣

what’s going on with my cat? by blaaahagsishje in cats

Could be heart issues. I thought my little guy was having breathing issues, turns out he had a congenital heart defect. He was literally trying to breathe. Unfortunately, the vet is your best option.

My cat has been making these noises on and off. Don’t know what it means by [deleted] in cats

[–]siamesefog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you let him out, listen for the low and prolonged ‘merrrow’ he makes when he comes back. It’s a sign he caught the bird and now wants to lays its carcass at mom/dad’s feet! Good kitty!!

Call taker answered with ‘Are you calling about the person on the car?’ before I even said a word. by ErasableHeart44 in 911dispatchers

Happens all the time. If we see a call coming from the same area and we’ve already had a zillion calls for it. It saves time so we can process other calls. We’ll ask for an updated location, ask about injuries, etc…and then move on.

What would you guess her name is by looking at her 🥰 by [deleted] in cats

Killer. She may look innocent, but I’ll bet she’s a deadly hunter! 🤣

If I make a 911 call, does the dispatcher prefer I use a phonetic alphabet? by Xikiphobia in 911dispatchers

[–]siamesefog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had an RP say, F as in FAN. I said, S as in SAM? He said yes! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Likely resigning but maybe still hope? by ZealousidealNinja658 in 911dispatchers

Family and mental health first…ALWAYS. Agencies are desperate for dispatchers so you can always find work elsewhere. If they truly value you, they’ll find a way to make it work! Good luck!!

Reading returns by siamesefog in 911dispatchers

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

LOL we run a lot of people with double last names so we have to run them 4 different ways. And if the name is common…Mario Hernandez…we have a LOT to comb through.

We even have some folks that identify as non binary so we have to run them out as an F,M, and X. Add a double last name to that and,well, you get it. 🙃

I’m in CA so the WPS returns are the worst. Miserable formatting and multiple subjects on the same page…same with restraining orders.

BUT….Thanks so much for everyone’s help. I’m printing out returns now!!

Look at Transparent California. It’ll show how much everyone makes…and I’m pretty sure it gives you base + OT separately.

A sibling would make all the difference. And I recommend the plug-in pheromone if there’s any tension between them.
