Closer

This past week I worked my last day at the bookstore, and I can honestly say I am glad to be out of there! I also talked with someone from my EMT class who got hired by the same company as I did. They started there a couple weeks ago, so I was asking them how things were going and such.

Unfortunately, what they had to say was not good. Things about the company, the staff, the training, their policies... Granted, everything that was shared with me was from this person's perspective. So far my interactions with this company have been pleasant (for the most part) and so I was a bit shocked to hear some of the things this person had to share.

Needless to say, I'm getting a bit more anxious about Monday morning. But, alas. What can you do? I won't know anything for sure until I show up next week, go through my own orientation and training, and find out for myself. And either way, I'm still beyond excited!

Until then, any pointers/tips or words of wisdom for the newbie? :)

Also, I ended up getting a (pink) Littmann Classic II SE. Someone decided to get it for me as a gift, which was an unexpected delight!

Oh, and as you can tell the blog has got a new look. I got bored with the other layout. We'll see how long this one will last.

I got a job!!

Yupp. November 30th... The first day of my new job!!

I'm excited. And nervous. But, definitely excited. :)

I'll finally be a full-time EMT working with a good ambulance company. Yeah!

And I'll be sure to write more substantial posts in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.


Oh, and if you haven't heard about or checked out the Chronicles of EMS, you can go here, here or here. What they're doing is awesome. (Be sure to follow them on twitter and youtube too!)
