Wakeman’s Last Duty Night

Today’s is Wakeman’s last day with the fire department. We are having a get-together for him tomorrow at My Office.

I had a softball game today. I am on duty as well, so I let Chuck know that I would be responding following the game. The new recruits were going through Rescue today therefore it would be used while that is going on. We got spanked by the Tax Dodgers. Our worst loss ever to them. We scored twelve runs in the whole game, and they scored that in the first inning alone. It was not pretty.

When the game was done I went to the station and talked to the guys down there. They asked me how the game went and I could not say anything other than we got crushed.

After that I went to my apartment and got ready to be oncall. I went to the station and hung out there until the Rescue got back. I stayed for a little while and finally decided it was time to leave.

I did not really get more than an hour of sleep when our first of three back-to-back-to-back calls on Nye street came out. Two of them were to the same guy. Following those calls I went home and within two hours we were back at the station going on a call for abdominal pain. Just as we finished that we got a second call for abdominal pain. On Wakeman’s last night we had five calls after midnight. Some of them we got to run code on. It was a decent last day for Wakeman.

I was well after seven in the morning when I finally got home and got some sleep.
