Things that I hope to get done
These are things that I am hoping to get done later on today. 1.) Laundry get washed. 2.) Go to the fire house and finish the EMS supplies for the first-in bags. 3.) Talk to Car 53 and find out when I can get the O2 bottles filled (they are doing no good in the firematic storage area) 4.) Go to work and feel like something has been acomplished there. 5.) Possible get to bed early and get some real sleep. I think that is it for my to-do list for the rest of the day.
So, on to what happened before today. I decided to stay over for Tuesday night duty crew. Good move there. Everything was going fine we all ate and hung out. Some went to bed, others (Ryan, Matt, and myself) decided to stuff calendars. That's right you guesses it, it is Calendar Drive time once again. So roughly the three of us stuffed about 2-3 hundred. Matt and Ryan got tired so they decided to hit the hay. I decided to check my mail and livejournal it up before I called it a night. So I did and when I was about to go to sleep I heard the pager go off for Schuyler Heights, Menands for Truck 6, and Latham for the FAST team for a possible structure fire at everyones favorite D&H rail yard. So make things move along command calls a signal 30. They ask for another truck and a engine for Latham. Latham being called for the FAST team says they are going to scratch the FAST call due to lack of qualified members and so from there I figured that we would be the next on the box for FAST. Nope they call Colonie Village for FAST. Maple Wood for a cover company at Schuyler Heights. Bought is called for a cover company at Latham. Maple Wood gets changed they get bumped up to the scene. Now they call Shaker Road for the Cover company to Schuyler Heights station. We sat for 3 hours. It was 2:30 when they called us and we did not get back till 06:00 hours. I stayed around the station till roughly 8 and then went home. I decided to lay down after talking to my mom and fell asleep. I ended up waking at 12:30 and figuring that I could sleep another 1/2 hour. Nope I ended up waking up to my mom at 2:17 pm. I felt like shit, I was suppose to be at work at 2:00 pm. So I called work and told them that I over slept. Hooped in the shower and went to work. I finished work and played poker. I ended up making 5 bucks. Nice ending to a kind of shitty day.
OK, Good night to all.
