What a day what a day what a day this has been. I ended up blowing 3 stop signs at 30 mph because i was needing to get to a medical emergency at my next door neighbors. This was actually my next door neighbor's friend that decided it would be cute and try and kill herself by drinking a whole bottle of nyquil when noone was looking. At my arrival she was pretty out of it. By the time the ambulance and fire truck arrived she was barely consious laying down and eyes closed. She was in bad shape. Well everything is going great from there as far as her going to the hospital and the police reports. We go to her dorm and found a suiside note on the computer. i am totally out of this whole process because it didnt involve me except that i called 911 and made sure the ambulance arrived at the right appt complex. I didnt know much else. Well i was stupid and became involved when her printer wouldnt work and the officers were unable to get a printout. I offer my help (mistake 1) in trying to print it from lab machines. I saved it on my pen drive (mistake 2) and printed it down to the police officers in the lobby. Well i call my supervisor thinking nothin of it and it turns into a HUGE departmental mess and it was all because of me. Just the fact that i am a resnet tech made this exponentially much worse even though they were totally uninvolved with my work duties. I was just trying to help the officers get the information they needed so they can be on their way. I do not know what the suicide note contained but it was LONG. two pages single spaced about 12 font or so. This was serious and i thought i needed to get this to the officers so they can determine what is going to happen. I was doing everything in my power to help and i get in trouble for it. it was not brought down the chain of command and it was all my fault. I didnt even know how this was related to my work. But just because i am a resnet tech makes it so anything i do on or off of work is reflected as me being a resnet tech. I have never felt so rotten in my life. How should i have known? Now i am up for a removal board tomorrow for not following procedures correctly. If that is so, then i am never helping a living soul ever again because i might be fired from my job for doing what i thought was the right thing. Forget this. I am going to bed. But why bother its only 445am and i have class at 10am. Ill never be nice again if this is the pain i have to go through.
