Coug it!

October 8th, 2005

As much as I don’t want to talk about Couging It. That is what is the case. We started the day out at the fire station having a BBQ and a meeting before heading to the stadium for the Cougar Stanford game. We were favored to win. We should have won it, but we ended up Couging it. We threw the interceptions at the end when it really matters costing the game.

I was working in North Section Two. We did not have much in terms of things to do, but it was a bad place to see the game. With the people standing in front of us you could not see from the hash-marks to the sidelines. Then people would stand in front of us a lot and make it impossible to see things. I am going to work the East Endzone from here on out. Or I may do Resuce once or twice as well.

After the game I was on call. I was going to be on the Engine, but I was moved to Rescue. That was cool. I was hoping to have a lot of calls. But we sat around the Deuce waiting for calls and nothing came in. I finally went to get some dinner from a Mexican place. I wanted some nachos. I got them to go. Then I got some gas and pop from the gas station. I was parked at my office and I was getting out of my truck when the pager went off for a fire alarm. So my food was getting cold as I went to an apartment where someone’s fog machine set off the alarm.

After that we had several other calls through out the night. One of them came while we were en route from another call. We were pretty close to it. We got on scene first. The call was for someone who was drunk and needed detox. I did patient care and went to the hospital with the ambulance. By about two-thirty in the morning we had had our last call and I slept until it was time to do some golfing.
