Very Tired

It has been quite a long week. This time last week I was working on medic time and it doesn't seem like I've had a chance to sleep since then. (of course I have but not well and not for long enough).

Sat was Dustin's going away party which was not what I expected. I really enjoy him and his family, shame they are headed to CA. Sunday followed with more medic time and a large auto accident in which I managed to make a bloody mess of the ambulance.

Work Monday was hectic - not enough people and way too many major incidents going on. Class Monday night ran over again and was unbearable. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday - all much of the same, work, class, lots of driving back and forth.

Today was the worst though. After working all night I had to stay up till 1pm today. I got in a quick nap and was back at work at 5:30pm. Now I about ready to pass out but I have to teach a CPR class at 8am. This is definitely burning the candle at both ends.

I think it wouldn't have been so bad if the calls tonight weren't all absolutely ridiculous and challenging. I think I got very close to telling a caller to shut up. My conclusion is that citizens in general are hot messes.

Hopefully the CPR class goes smoothly.....
