Just a quick "I am not dead" post.
Most of you already knew that tho, what with my commenting here and there in your various journals.
Monday is my last day with Sprint. Beginning Wednesday I will be working for Lifeguard Ambulance services. Hooray and all. I will be able to focus more squarely on my Paramedical-type things. Maybe I'll finally remember all my drug doses and routes without using my field guide.
2 things about that though...
1) It's M-W-F, Noon to Midnight. T-Th will be taken up by the (unpaid) Clinical rotations I need to do. 20 in total, 10 ER, 5 L&D, 3 ICU and 2 NICU. Plus an additional 30 (unpaid) ambulance shifts after those. I have until June to finish all those. That's a lot of time I cannot spend with my beloved(s). By that I mean the wife and the Muy Thai kickboxer in her belly.
2) that schedule limits me to 36 hours a week, at a SEVERELY reduced rate of pay. I think I figured it out to be about 600 dollars LESS a month.
So, I may be in bad sorts over the coming months. Please don't take it personally if I am unavailable or generally in a funky mood. This is all for a greater good, as (hopefully) in June I can complete my paramedic training and get to the good money. And a better schedule.
If anyone has about $4000 to spare to supplement my income over the coming months, reply here and I will give you my paypal.
God, I hope I make it through this alive.
