the story so far...
I have had a dream of working for CALM for agggess. Growing up seeing my father come home covered in black shit and smelling like bush fire. Seeing the raging fires on tv, hearing the war stories... I want to fight fires. Its a sick dream of mine.
However! Some cunt is keeping this dream...a dream. Ive been working with CALM for 7 weeks now and still havent seen running fire (asin ive seen flames, but no bush fire) Its like the slowest start to the season in years! I know it all comes down to luck, but sheesh! Today for example... Ive been working near the yard for a few weeks, and the FIRST time i leave the area.. we get a fire. So my entire crew is there except me. At first this didnt worry me as much, because Im going out tonight, but then i get back to the office, and theyve PUT ME ON STANDBY TIL 8! So not only do i miss out... i cant do fuck all until 8...
AND to top it all off! We didnt catch any pigs/goats today
I have this friday off, and im not on standby... so i bet we'll have the biggest fire in the history of the world, and ill be at home.
My life is destined to be mediocre.
(im aware this will probably change... but in the mean time! ARGH!)
