I was on the engine yesterday and we were dispatched to a medical with another station’s ambulance. I took over charting and documentation for the EMS crew and asked the Pt her date of birth.
“Well, I was born in ‘58, so I guess that would make me……6-7!”
The world is not entirely terrible.

I’m trying to plan dinner to include my parents, who are watching my girls tonight, and my step-mom can’t do gluten and my dad isn’t a big cheese guy.
I’m genuinely at a loss because both are at odds with my normal Midwestern winter menu options.

Saw something for the first time in the firehouse today:
A guy brings his own cast iron to cook with because he doesn’t like the seed oils used to season the station ones.
That’s…..something.

I’m working today and we realized we were a bit short on supplies for dinner so we took the squad out to stock up. Descended upon the only convenience store in our district that was open and it was a madhouse. Pure hilariousness watching everybody trying to stock up but good moods all around.

I was fired from job helping veterans find jobs in Iowa for moving a mini fridge away from a construction zone. My wife asked me what I was interested in doing and I said emergency management/services.

I made scrambled eggs and wanted to try using Bourdain’s recipe. Put a twist on it and used crème fraiche instead of sour cream. Mixed the eggs in with sweet peppers, white bottoms of green onions, & bacon & then topped it with goat cheese & green onions.
And now I have a new way of making eggs.

Just warms my cold little heart to hear that a former coworker, who had numerous harassment allegations against him, has been fired from his new job for being a dick and is now scrambling to find an FD and can’t because the word is out on how toxic he is.

Hegseth: "We don't need to be a military of beardos anymore. Do you know how many troops claim to be Nordic Pagan? No, suddenly it's become this real fake religious affiliation inside the Pentagon where troops came to be Nordic Pagan so they can grow a beard and nobody challenges them on it."
