A Night of Calls....For the Medic

I left the house last night around 19:20 hours and headed up to Eville to go to work. I got there and parked and got my stuff and then headed inside. Steve was there and when I waslked in I asked him if they found a medic for the night shift in Lykens and he said no and that was why he was there. I then put my Gatorade bottle in the fridge and then clocked in and sat my suitcase beside the couch. I then quickly went over supplies and everything was ok and I didn't need to order anything. Enders and John then got back from the Berrysburg Parade and I did a quick rig check on 6-3. I then found out that Bowser was out on a call with 13. Enders and John didn't stay very long and left shortly after getting back. I then got on the computer and filled out my rig check forum and then checked a few other things online. I then came out at 21:00 hours to watch the Dirty Jobs Shark Week episode on TV. Bowser got back around 20:20 hours and after restocking, went back to trying to put rear brakes on his car, which was in the squad bay. The tones went off for chest pains in Dalmatia. He got back around 23:30 hours and restocked his gear and once again went back to working on his car. He got to finsih this time. Myself and Steve talked a lot about different things while we watched TV. He laid down on the recliner around 23:30 hours. I stayed up and watched TV. The around 01:20 hours I heard over the scanner 1 20-1 box get hit for a structure fire in the borough. Naturally my ears perked up and I cracked open my fire pager and got on the computer in the day room and started posting on centralpafire and the upper county site. About 5 minutes later, Chief 20 went on the scene with a working structure fire and the box was upgraded to the working fire box. Steve woke up when he heard Eville's house siren go off and he asked me where the fire call was and I told him Millersburg. I ended up going to bed around 02:30 hours. Shortly after I laid down, the tones went off for breathing problems in Millersburg Borough. Bowser was still up working on his two charts from earlier in the night. He left in the squad and I fell asleep. I woke up around 06:00 hours when Bowser backed the sqaud in the bay. He then restocked his gear and came in and sat down on the blue couch to get some sleep. About 20 minutes later, once again the tones went off for breathing problems in Upper Paxton Township. He got up and got in the squad and left. I was now up as I could no longer get back to sleep. Stutzman came in around 06:50 hours and the three of us talked. Tindell then came in and I clocked out at 08:04 hours and then left shortly after that and headed on home. Once at home I changed into my pj's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I woke up at 11:30 hours and took the sheets off of my bed and took them downstairs. I then ate lunch and read the paper. I then put new sheets on my bed and then got on the PS2 to play some Outlaw Tennis. I then got off at 16:45 hours and made dinner and ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV. I then took a shower and am now 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.
