GUESS WHO GOT TO CALL 911 LAST NIGHT!
So, I finally manage to get shit faced drunk and make it to bed without falling down and smashing my knees in (which is something of a tradition at this point), and I figure, yeah, I've broken my record, I'm in the clear now.
Until I get woken up at 2AM by screaming. And not the "I'm drunk, you're touching me" screaming that I can now sleep through. No, it's the "OMG there's blood everywhere" screaming, which is, thankfully, not nearly as annoying as the other kind. But still. I need to call 911 when theres that kind of screaming. I was just going to go back to sleep, 'cause I'm awesome like that, but I kept thinking about our Psych teacher telling us about how no one calls shit in because everyone assumes someone else will do it. Also, in my neighbourhood there's a good chance everyone else just shut their windows and/or turned the TV up.
So I get up, drunk and half asleep, to grab the phone, and head out to the balcony to see where I'm calling the cops and ambulance to exactly. And I think I've left the balcony door open, really it looks like it. So I walk towards it. Only it's not so much open as shut and really hard.
So I walked into the fucking door.
Eventually I make it outside, clutching my knee. And I find the people screaming (over a block away) and I call.
Wow, I haven't had to call since I worked the graveyard shift at a convience store. I'd forgotten the joy of getting the recording- Your life is important to us. Please stay on the line until someone can be bothered to get your information. Your position in the queue is 157. Someone will be with you just as soon as our limited budget and smarmy attitudes allow-
"Ugh, Is this for police, fire or ambulance?" came the smarmy ass voice.
Sigh "Police and Ambulance"
"Location?"
I give it to her. (*giggle*, give it to her).
Computer sounds "They've already been dispatched" In a tone of how dare I interupt her busy night. And then she hangs up on me.
Now that's the service I pay for with my taxes, by God. Although to be fair. I appreciate a hold message and bitchy operator over the calls back over an hour after I called 911 in the first place asking "Did I still need assistance?" Uh, no, thanks, I bled out already, but thanks for the call back.
Also, last nights Supernatural....
