Man I'm so worn out after tonights shift. I was alone for the first time in a while. I got several calls. But most of them related to children who seemed to have one sort of problem or another. But they were fine. The most annoying thing tonight was some assholes dressed like... I don't even fucking know, a clown? A wrestler? A wrestling clown? Ehh fuck if I know...
All I do fucking know is he gave me the creeps. I went to visit the kid at her tattoo parlor and he and another weirdo came in bein creepy as fuck so I tried to get the fuck out of there. one guy tried to get in my vehicle... but apparently later he pulled a goddamned gun on people. Fucking asshole. Well anyway, the rest of the night was pretty chill. Still feel bad for lil though...
Fuck the Scooby Gang...
Today was a lot... I really need to get some friends. I decided to get go for a ride but popped into station to get out of the rain. Sadly an MVA started. Next thing I know all hell broke fucking loose and I can't fucking tell how many god damned calls I got tonight. Oh, to top it all off Brooklyn got kidnapped. Jesus fucking Christ. And she got fucking shot. Yay... today was fun. What am I gonna do without my driver... Anyway, I'll have to check on her soon. Oh, and call Jack.
It was much better today. I actually got to have a nice hiking date with Harley which was very fun. We decided to head up to Gordo and see what there was to see. The views, as always were exquisite. We definitely need to go back again... Oh, shit.... I forgot to ask Harley about Kai.
Another long shift at work today.
The day started pretty simple. I drove to work around the corner in Grapeseed for a bit. I love that cozy station. After that I did my rig check for medic 24. All was working fine there. I got a text from Kai again. I really worry if the kid's alright. They asked me how to take pills. I should really sit down and have that long chat about her to Harley. She seems like she really needs someone to help her and show her the ropes at this point.
Oh, I wasn't alone for once, as Knight and a firefighter Named Jake. I hadn't run any calls but I think he came to understand just how fucking cursed I actually am. Anyway, after I got that done I finally got to meet this Eris person i've heard about for a while now. Weird fucking lady I'll say that. She apparently called because she had a tooth ache and couldn't be bothered to drive her ass a couple blocks to a dentists. Whatever, not really my problem. Though she is apparently a cleptomaniac. Knight let me know when I got on scene. She even tried to steal my pen. Luckily I was vigilent and didn't lose my favorite pen. Also, Im not giving up my ballcap.
After that, nothing happened for a while till we got the Call for a Structure fire. And what a doozy it was. I knew I was already gonna need to call in help since we were undermanned, but I didn't expect what we got. It was worse than we expected. As I arrived on scene, Local Tankers assisted and I began to get a primary search. Jake then asked if we wanna page off-duties. I agreed and we went for it. It was real weird though. It felt like I was a line officer cuz everyone seemed to go with what I said. Idk... just not used to that. Well, whatever. We called it a 2nd alarm and I got help. Problem was the house began to collapse. I called to switch to defensive and begin deck gun operations. The rook collapsed. The worst part is that apparently there was someone trapped. I tried to get in there and search but I was unable to due to the fire's intensity. I can't put my finger on it but something feels fishy for the intensity of the fire for being as small as a house it was. Anyway, we got the body out with help of one of the off-duty responders. They were burned to a crisp. It's not my first time, but I can't help feeling responsible for not being able to do more. Well, that was that. Corrorner was called and I then got instantly onto another call.
The next 2 calls were a trauma. Apparently someone fell down the stairs and cut themselve open pretty bad. I had to do a ton of work before we transported them, but we got them there safely. The Final one was much worse.
apparently some guy decided to yeet himsel into a tree at mach jesus. The car was crumpled up like a tuna can. County fire helped us get him out but damn if they weren't near death. We rushed them to the hospital as quick as I could, but they had almost no blood in them. Not sure if they made it, but I hope they did. After that I went home and rested. Tbh, Im glad Im off for the next couple days. I really need the time off. Anyway Im getting tired as I write this, so Im heading to bed. Harley is the best comfort I could hope for.
Reading these journal entries is like sitting in a parked ambulance with someone too tired to edit their own pain into something pretty. Do you think writing this stuff down actually helps you process the bad shifts, or do you just do it so you don't forget how heavy some days get?
