I am finally back in Whitman County! It took nearly two long weeks, but now I am back and I am happy. I got to work around nine-thirty after getting my table and chairs loaded into the back of my truck.<\/p>\n
Chris, Ricky, Noah, and I went to Crossroads mall for lunch. That is the first time we went there as a team. When I got back to the office there was a bug waiting for me to fix, so I worked on it and checked it in. Then I just sat around waiting for our meeting at three. But an e-mail went out saying it would probably get cancelled. So finally around two-forty-five it was cancelled. I got my stuff, locked my computer, and took off.<\/p>\n
I filled up with gas and got some pop for the road. Just as I was merging on to I-Ninety I got a phone call from Heston at PFD. He said that he spoke with the Lt’s and other Crew Leaders about the next Crew Leader. They said that it should be me. He wanted to know if I was interested. About a year ago I told him I did not want to be a Crew Leader, but in the last few months when the realization was hitting that Chuck may be leaving I started to really give it some thought. I talked with Michael a lot about it and I am more comfortable about what Crew Leaders can and can’t do. I was afraid a Crew Leader could never go on Rescue. I was told that was the Crew Leaders’ choice not to be on Rescue.<\/p>\n
I accepted the position and my first day as Crew Leader is going to be September Eleventh. That is a day I will never forget getting that promotion. I just got that Engineer crest on my helmet and now we will have to replace it before it even got broken in.<\/p>\n
I was flying, compared to normal. I usually will sit around seven over the speed limit the whole way, but I got with another car and we were doing about eighty to eight-five the whole way.<\/p>\n
When I got to the fair I was only a couple minutes past the time I had hoped to get there. Keith was already there. I went inside the booth and just hung out. Keith and I chatted with some of the other EMTs. Jamie was also working. We watched a bit of the rodeo and walked around the fairway for a tiny bit. We were working until close which was around eleven o’clock pm.<\/p>\n
When I got back to Pullman I got my table and chairs unloaded and put into the apartment. I also got all my clothes taken inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
