Spokane Trip

November 30th, 2007

Got woken up by the pager asking for reserves to call the station about the transfer to Spokane. I said I could do it. It was not an emergency transfer so I was able to get a couple things done at work before leaving.

I went to the station and got Richards who was going with me. We picked up the patient and went to Spokane. As I was cleaning the cot in Spokane Richards started to ask what was wrong. He said he could tell something was wrong. I denied anything was wrong. He asked if he did something. I wasn’t telling him what the problem was.

I think it goes back to my last trip to Spokane I was making a joke about him and the other Blake having the same name but being different. I said how the other Blake’s wrist is as big as Richards’ bicep. I was not dogging on Richards, it is just the other Blake is a body builder.

Then he said well at least the other Blake and I have something in common, we can see our dicks when we go pee. It is funny I say that you have to choose to be offended. I wasn’t offended, but the comment cut deep. That seems to be one thing I don’t take well — fat jokes directed at me.

So I think I was feeling off because of the lingering effects of the joke, but I shouldn’t have let it bother me. The whole trip I was dead quiet. At a restaurant we stopped to eat at I was quiet there. The waitress even said something about me looking sad. I wanted to tell him, but I wasn’t sure how to say it. I figured it would be better to say nothing than open the can of worms.

When we got back to the station we washed the ambulance and I turned in my time card. Heston asked me to take the Santa suit to the Deuce. I dropped those off and went home.

I started to work hard on the work I missed out on today. I stopped for dinner and then went back to work. I was able to get the database issue fixed as well as one bug in my pipeline. I also got close on another one, but for some reason I am not sure why it doesn’t work. I got the example of how to do it directly from the source.
