Christmas Party

Went to bed Friday night around 02:00 hours and got up Saturday morning at 10:00 hours. I got out of bed and ate breakfast and read the paper. I then got on the computer to do a few thigns before the xmas party tonight. I then got changed into a nice outfit and then headed on out to the Carsonville Hotel. Bill was in the parking lot when I got there and we talked for about 15 minutes and then we went inside. Bubba and Robin were already there along with the DJ's. People slowly started to trickle in. We ate dinner around 18:00 hours. The meal was good, Roast Beef, Ham, and all the trimmings. There was beer on tap of course. After dinner was over, the jackets were handed out along with the awards. I won the Most Improved Firefighter Award, Third Place Top Responder and Second Place Top Trainning Attendance. Other awards were given out and then some gag gifts were given out. After that we cleared a lot of tables out of the middle of the room so there could be some dancing room. We then had Karaoke and a few of the gang decided to play a little beer pong. I was the mediater of the game. It lasted only two rounds, cause then Andy finally was able to show us the video he had made for the night. We watched that and then everyone went back to what they were doing. Jess ended up giving me her digital camera halfway through the night and told me to just take pictures with it until the batteries died. Jess then was able to talk me into taking a drink of her beer. Needless to say I had one hell of a time and can't wait until next years party, or the next time we have a get together. I left there around 01:30 hours and headed on home. I got home by 01:45 hours and was in bed by 02:05 hours. I was rocked out of bed this morning at 09:22 hours when the fire pager went off for a structure fire at 74 Creek Drive. I jumped out of bed and scrambeled to find an old t-shirt to wear. I got dressed and then jumped in my car and headed up to the fire house. I got to the fire house and parked and ran inside. The Tanker was started and I ran over and got my gear on. Bruce then came in and I got in the Tanker. Bubba told me to get on the Engine so Bruce could go with him on the Tanker to work the CAFS system. Jamie then showed up and he started getting his gear on and then Dave and Matt showed up. We all got on the Engine and we took off. It ended up being a small fire in the back of a garage, but we think it might be arson. We were on scene for about an hour and then we headed into Shell to get fuel. I ran inside and got something to drink and eat and then we headed back to the fire station. When I was in Shell, was when I found out that the back button on my bunker pants popped off. Once back at the station I put my gear away and talked with the gang. They all left and I stayed there to look at my pants. Robbie then called the station and told me that Dave was coming back up to grab the Tanker. He told me to throw his gear on the Tanker and grab my gear also, along with the vent saw. So I did that and then Dave showed up and we headed on back down to the scene. The Fire Marshal was there already. So he did his investigation and then we cut the plywood off to expose the beam that was charred and then I wetted it down before we left. Dave and me then ran into Shell and got fuel in the Tanker and I grabbed something else to drink along with a tea for Bubba and then we headed back to the fire house. Once back there, me, Bubba, Robbie and Andy talked for awhile and then we all headed on home. Once at home I read the paper and then showed my mother the awards I won last night. I then ate dinner while I was on the computer. I then took a shower and am now eatting a snack. I am getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
