This was one of those days with nothing except for softball planned.  The way the weather was holding out I thought we might play.  I was starting to make serious plans to play.  But I found out around four o&#8217;clock PM that it was cancelled.  The cancellation of softball left it open for me to go to OTEP training in Albion.  We covered trauma assessments. <\/p>\n<p>As the day started out I did a lot on my computer.  I was reading up on some stuff online.  I tried to find some resources that will tell me how to get the alternator out of my motorhome.  I failed at that.<\/p>\n<p>After training I came home and got online again.  I chatted with someone online for about an hour talking about being a firefighter and houses.  I was watching NCIS when they paged for a transfer.  Then they paged for reserves.  I waited about one or two minutes to call in.  I have to get up early for my interview so I chose to allow someone else to take it so I could sleep.  I knew if I took it I wouldn&#8217;t get back until late.  I was the only one who called in.<\/p>\n<p>I was told I was working with Chia.  That would be interesting.  He thinks I am mad at him right now.  He tried to call me a while back and I didn&#8217;t call him back after he left a message.  But what I found is that after I left the fire department working full-time I was forgotten about and not asked to participate with stuff.  I came to the realization that we were co-workers who did some stuff outside of work rather than friends.<\/p>\n<p>That said, when I got the call from him I know he wanted me for something other than to hang out.  I figured it was something computer related or something related to the SO.  I figured I would get back to him when I could.<\/p>\n<p>A couple weeks ago he sent me a message on facebook saying that he hadn&#8217;t heard from me in a while and wanted to know if he did something to make me mad.  I never responded, but there is nothing I am mad about.  There have been many times where I sent him texts or said stuff on his facebook page with no response. <\/p>\n<p>We went to Spokane and dropped off our patient.  As we were coming back to Pullman, he said now that I have you trapped I want to know what I did to make you mad.  I told him nothing.  He pushed the issue several times, each time I told him I wasn&#8217;t mad.  Later we were driving down the road and he fell asleep.  I was thinking about how I could tell him what was up, but I didn&#8217;t know how to bring it up.  Then he woke up and again asked if I was ready to talk.  I wasn&#8217;t. <\/p>\n<p>I was also thinking about things at the SO.  I like the work, but I feel like every time I am in the same room with one guy he gives me a hard time.  I don&#8217;t mind that because he does that to everyone and I laugh about it.  But it also feels like I get &#8220;yelled&#8221; at for things.  It feels like I am being held to a higher standard than some of the other guys.  I am not sure if it is because more is expected of me or if it is something else.  He has also given me some nice atta boy&#8217;s too.  So, I am totally lost about how to read him.  I know I haven&#8217;t done anything wrong while I have been there, but it feels like I cannot walk across the floor correctly.  It makes going into the SO something I don&#8217;t want to do when that person is around.  Who know, I am probably being hyper-sensitive. <\/p>\n<p>But the whole trip back to Pullman I was very quiet.  I didn&#8217;t say much of anything at all.  When we got to the station I entered the call into the book.  Chia completed his stuff and then left the room without saying anything.  I left the station and went home to go to bed. <\/p>\n<p>I need to talk to Chia, but I am not sure how to say what I am feeling.  Really it is just that I feel like we are nothing more than co-workers.  But that said I should be able to talk to him like I can my other co-workers.  Last night was just a bad night with both of these things running through my head.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t know what today has in store for me.
