Do you ever...

look at your life and wonder WTF you're doing? That's what I'm doing now. I look around at the situation at work and just can't believe the current situation that we are in. For the month of April, we will have lost 4 paramedics and a really good intermediate who is in paramedic school and supposed to finish in May. All because our management has their heads so far up their asses that there is no longer any chance of sunlight.

Then there's the whole relationship thing. ARG. I don't have the slightest freakin clue what to do currently. I feel like I'm at a real fork in the road, but can't help but wonder if I go down one fork if I will end traveling on the other fork anyway. Not sure if that makes sense, but eh, oh well.

We are so....

incredibly screwed.

It's not even funny to look at our schedule anymore. There are so many open spots that it's just nauseating. Of course, our wonderful leaders in management have decided that we need to add another truck to the schedule as a transfer truck but it needs a paramedic on it.

We can't even fill our current trucks and they are adding more????!!!!???? We have people with paramedic patches who I wouldn't trust with a dog that I didn't like who are in charge of trucks with basics that have just gotten out of school.

Of course, this just means that there will need to be even more screening of phone calls. It tickles me that some of our supervisors don't understand why people don't answer their phones when they call and ask for people to come in.
