Ahh.. all work and no sleep kicks Mikey's Ass!
Ok, So here's how it goes down. Game goes late last night, I get my 3 hrs of sleep and get up expecting to work my normal 8 hour shift. I wish. So I have to leave my normal shift early to go stand post outside a bank in near Countryside Mall. Hooray, my 8hr day just became a 13hr day. and I've got 12 more hours to work tommorow. Joy. ANywho, not 5 minutes after I arrive, there is an accident at the intersection right next to the bank. Because my post is outside, I happen to be looking that way just in time to see a motorcycle plow into the side of a Jeep at about 40. Hooray, now I get to be a witness. The ambulance, fire, and police all respond within a minute and a half tops ( I was quite impressed by that) and the poor guy who was riding the bike (without a helmet I believe) gets attended to for about 10 minutes on the ground, then he's loaded into the waiting ambulance, which sits there for 20 more minutes while they work on him inside. Now, I don't claim to know anything about EMT procedures, but when trying to save someone life, it seems that getting them to a hospital fast is a good idea. Now, after sitting there for 30 minutes, the ambulance turns off its lights and drives slowly away. Using common sense, that would indicate one thing to me. The poor WIA just became a KIA and speed was no longer necessary. But I hope and pray that I am wrong about that. So, thats how my afternonn started. Granted, giving a statement to the cops wasn't too bad, but still, I could feel the I hate Rent-A-Cop vibes coming off of this guy. So whatever. Granted, despite seeing a possibly fatal motorcycle crash rignt in front of me is a bit rough, I'm still planning on getting a motorcycle for myself. I was talking to my family in Ohio and my Uncle has a 1985 Honda Something (Can't remember the name of the bike) with only 17k miles on it, that he will sell me for cheap. Yay family discounts. The only thing is that I would have to take a week off of work, get a one way ticket to Ohio and ride the bike back down here. Now, that would probably be a very enjoyable ride through the mountains, but damn thats a long time in a motorcycle seat. Eh, I'll probably do it anyway. Ah, so, my total hours for my first full week of working for Wackenhut is not going to be at 54 hours. At $11/hr I'm not knocking the overtime. Soooo tired though. Fatigue and a loaded weapon is not a good combo. Oh well, I go where they tell me and take what they give me. ANd of course, because I'm working a combination of mornings, afternoons, and nights, my poor body clock is all fucked up. I should be passed out right now, but I'm wide frickin awake. SO I guess I'll drink some roofie tea and hope it knocks me out. Cause 12 hours of fun awaits me tommorow. Boy, I love my life. Laters all.
