Dr appointment monday. I hope I don't chicken out and not mention my head being scrambled issues.
I've been talking to the other guys at the station and it sounds like there is many people getting burnt out. we did some rescearch and the last 6 years the call volume for our station has increased 500 calls per year, every year. So from the point I became a full time employee we have doubled our responses from 2,250ish to a projected 4,500ish this year. 4,500 calls averages out to 14ish calls a 24hr period. 1hr spent running the call and transporting, 1 hr paperwork per call. 5-6 people on shift each day. 2 ambulances, so my portion is 14hrs a shift just with calls and paperwork, We have station duties, equipment checks and other stuff going on during the day. Ugh....anyways I've been noticing the Captains trying to get people to get stuff done before paperwork starts...that's a bunch of crap. I'm looking at other places to work but it will have to wait a while. Got to get through July at least. I'm going to end this rant. Its boring.and I feel like this is going to read like a shitty high school math question. I guess what I'm saying is, It's nice to know I'm not the only one frustrated here. Now it's just to find out if my anxiety and emotional mood swings are just from work or if it is my head malfunctioning.
Went to see Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers last night
. It was a good show, but way too crowded 
. The show in Sebastopol will be much better. less people and food and drinks before. One day I'll go crazy fan and follow them on their California tour dates. That would be good times. 
I hope everyone out there is having a good weekend.
