We are still waiting to hear back from Bill's interview. Overall the store manager wanted to hire him, the 2IC was very insecure about him and they were offering a much lower salary than expected.
But I'm taking one day at a time and see what happens... will keep you posted :)
I had an ambo job at 1.30am this morning. I never do night jobs well ... it always takes about 10mins for my brain to kick into action.
On our way there COMMS came back saying two patients were at Waihi Police station so they reassigned our paramedic and one ambulance there and sent us (the other ambulance) to the scene to check there were no other occupants hidden, lost or abandaned at the scene.
When we got there we had a good look around the smashed up car and in the bushes, had a chat to the fire brigade and police and there didn't seem to be any patients unaccounted for.
I gave an update to COMMS ...
"We are R23 code 2"
Their reply ... "Sorry, Waihi Beach1 can you repeat that message!!!??!"
"We are R23 code 2 ... ohhhh ... ummm ... ooops ... sorry, correction ... (pause) ... we are R35!!! code 2"
I was so embarrased ... My boss's boss came on air next to say "Thankyou WaihiBeach1 you can stand down and return to station" with a chuckle in his voice ...
why was he (and everyone else listening to the radio) laughing???? ....
... because ... what I was supposed to say was ...
"R35 code 2" which means ...
R35 ... ambulance stand down ... code 2 ... patient gone by other transport
What I did say was ...
R23 ... PATIENT DEAD!!! code 2 ... and gone by other transport!!
I can't believe it did that!!! HOW EMBARRASING!! and infront of all those people!
Hmmm ... think I might be up for a blooper award on that one at the mid winter ambulance awards.
...
I'm very excited to say we are off for the weekend to go to Lee-Anne's wedding. Bill and I without the kids. The last time we went away without kids was ... I can't honestly remember!!
We've organised a babysitter to stay overnight with the kids, staff in the shop and my ambulance rosters to be covered... a big mission but we did it!!
Then we rang the babysitter to check we were all good for tomorrow and her reply "ohhh am I staying overnight??? I didn't know that ... ohhhh ..."
WTF???!!!??
We told her that at the start ... lucky Bill was on the phone to her not me. He was much more polite than I would have been!!
So yes to still do have a babysitter ... just as well!!!
We're off ... and boy do I need it!!!
Yay go Lee-anne!!!
