Quiet Night at Work

I left the house last night around 18:50 hours and headed up to Wal-Mart. I stopped there and talked to the manager and we set up two dates for up at Wal-Mart, August 22nd, and September 7th. I then headed up to Lykens to go to work. I stopped at Tower Mini Mart and grabbed some fig nutons and a pint of chocolate milk and then headed to the station. Once there I parked and then took my stuff inside and clocked in and then went out and did a rig check on 6-7 while I talked to Tim and Zach. I then filled out my paperwork and then I turned on the Olympics while Tim played on his laptop. We then called and order into Ciao's and then we walked down and picked it up. We then came back and ate dinner while we watched two episodes of Season 4 of Emergency. After we were done watching them, I turned the Olympics back on and we watched the Women's Team Gymnastic's. Tim then left around 23:00 hours and headed on home. I went to sleep around 04:00 hours when I finished watching the Olympics on TV. I woke up this morning around 07:45 hours when the alarm on my watch went off. I got up and put my pillow away and then put the stuff back on my belt. Tindell and Kathy then came in and we talked until they got a call for chest pains in Williamstown Borough. I then clocked out and headed on down to the Eville station. Once there I restocked supplies and put an order in and then headed on home. Once at home I changed into pj's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I woke up this afternoon around 13:45 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch while I read the paper. I then got a phone call from Bubba asking me if I knew who hit the front grill on the Federal Q Siren on the Engine. I said I didn't know and that I would be up in a few minutes. I got up there and he had the fron grill off and was baning the dent back out. We talked for about 45 minutes and then he headed on home to get a shower and I headed on home and got on the computer to do a few things. I then changed into my uniform and headed up to the fire house around 16:45 hours. I got there and parked and grabbed my gear and sat it beside the Engine. Bubba then came up and then LeeAnn pulled in and then Robin came up. I put my gear in the truck, as did Bubba and LeeAnn and then we got in and off we went, with me driving. We got up to the funeral home in Lykens and parked behind Carsonville's Engine and then Halifax pulled in. The crowd really packed in there and the memorial service actually got started around 19:30 hours instead of 19:00 hours. It lasted for about 15 to 20 minutes and then it was over. We were going to go back to Carsonville's station to eat and talk with people, bit after we saw the amount of people at the funeral home, we decided to just head back to the station. We stopped at Burger King to grab something to eat and then I stopped at Shell so we could top the tank off. Kathy and Tindell were there when we stopped to get fuel. I talked to her for a minute or two and then we headed back to the station. Once there I put my gear away and I talked to Bubba, LeeAnn and Troy for a little bit and then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
