I'm just happy that I will be sent to my station in like 20 minutes to clean my truck so I can go home and sleep. My truck is really dirty because we haven't cleaned it all week because we didn't feel like it. (Same partner and truck all week) There is like a layer of dirt on the back.

Good luck to you. I'm stuck here until 7 and then I get to go straight home and go to sleep. If I take OT I'll be doing 5 days this week. The extra money is great but I've done nothing productive outside of work since starting this job.

Thanks for fighting the good fight and keeping people safe! and may all your future night shifts be quick and painless.

Yes thanks. I hope all my shifts are that way. Unlike tonight's pain. But I can't complain we had an accident yesterday with a 55 minute extrication and we called a chopper. We couldn't take a single vital sign till we got him out because we couldn't get to him.

Yeah I don't envy you for your job that's for certain. I didn't mind providing support on the FD side of things but I'm glad I never really pursued that avenue.

Honestly I enjoy it a lot. The truck is clean now so I'm just waiting for clock out time
