Sshhhhh


Last night I was again working with Roy, we booked ourselves onto the ambulance and were immediately sent on cover, there is one watch in the control room who likes to keep you out and has even been known to send a crew to another station on cover whilst sending the crew form that station to the first crews station, therefore just rotating two crews. (and yes I do have the proof!) this control team used to play a game, our area is split into two for control staff, and they would try and see which half could make crews do the most cover moves! Oh it all goes on. Well we were sent to cover in the town, and while we were sat in the ambulance by the side of the road, the two ambulances that cover this area were sent out on jobs, from their station! who's ground we were covering! Roy was on his last shift before joining management, so he phoned them to ask what was going on! Strangely we were immediately sent back to base. We didn't make it though, as we got a job, and ended up in the middle of a large group of 35yr old netball players who were all very disappointed that I wasn't a "good looking man!" haha. Our next patient was having a heart attack, he was quite young and lived in an enormous house. This is all I can say about this job, other than, read it in the papers..... I being the blonde I am didn't have a clue who he was until control rang us after the job for details for a press statement! we then had a male with a bowel blockage niccceee before being sent back to base for a meal break! It was two fifteen, we had been out since seven fifteen. That was it though and Roy and I were able to doze in the chairs on station. This evening when I put the horses in for the night the Sky looked amazing....
