It's my life, as I see it. It's my opinions, my thoughts, and my experiences. The content has changed over the years as my live has changed. The 40 something EMT Wife and mother, is now a Wife and Search Technician with Search Dogs Sussex and as for the age? Does that even matter!

Here, There and Everywhere
Yesterday I didn't manage to sleep very well before having to do the horses and collect Lit'lun from my mums then go back to work.
Once on station I found out I was single manned, as my crew mate was still booked sick, still I don't mind being single manned occasionally! Just after booking onto the vehicle I got a phone call from control, "Please go to another station 25 miles away to crew up with a trainee who is also single manned and change your call sign to the host stations!" Nooo!
My New crew mate turned out to be a really lovely man who was 3 months off his fully qualified assessment. I can't say as much for the work though! we were absolutely hammered.
Cover here,

Job, Central chest pain....

Then Joy of Joys, you may resume your regular call sign and return to your home dispatch point.... thank you!
I arrive back at base absolutely knackered! where control stand me down for my second meal break! great that is a 20 minute one there are 20 minutes till the end of my shift but they won't let me go home,.... how mean! The day crew arrive I am free to go home having done over 200 miles during the night.
I drive home, have a cup of tea and go to bed.....ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
