Ten hour shifts

Today was one of those long days. Cold windy. The sun made you squint. At least it melted some of the ice away from yesterday's storm.

Ten hour shifts suck. The eights go quickly, the twelves you are there knowing you're working for the haul, the tens, just suck it out of you.

We did seven calls, nothing really interesting, but all sort of wearing.A cut finger, a difficulty breathing, a diabetic, a vomiting depressed person, an MVA, a return from a doctor's office, and a flu.
