Aurielius Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Since most politicians are whores of sorts we might already have a strumpetocracy.... :ohmy: Though IMO children could hardly so any worse than what the in place adults are doing... :facepalm:http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac177/Aurielius/despairdemotivationalposter.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidus44 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Well, my day was pretty much preterpluperfect (more than perfect). In fact, it was entirely awesome. Got a new rescue boat motor and had to go mount it on the boat and then test it today. The lake/river runs through a park and it's a pretty popular spot for people, especially on nice, warm sunny days like today.The water rescue trainer and I pull up in the apparatus with the boat in tow and launch it, and just as we are getting dressed in our gear, 28 young ladies in bikinis show up to see what is going on. They are the local football teams cheerleaders, out in the park practicing their routines and doing yoga exercises.The crew that was supposed to show up about a 1/2 hour after we got on site got called to a hazmat call, so I spent most of today surrounded by absolutely gorgeous ladies in bikinis as I showed them what we do in water rescue and all the gear we use. I love being a fire fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurielius Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 pallaesthesia-. - sense of vibration. Last night I heard a vibrational noise from my study, when I investigated it I found the gas works crews tearing up the street looking and planting probes in my front lawn searching for the source of a main gas leak...from 6pm to 2am. Fortunately they did not quit until they achieved success. http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac177/Aurielius/perseverancedemotivationalposter.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidus44 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 philomath: a lover of learning; a scholar. Things I learned this week:Submitting purchase requests for blinker fluid, muffler bearing lube, winter/summer air for tires, canopy lights, or batteries for glow sticks to Administrative Branch is frowned upon.When operating an apparatus attempting something “I saw in a cartoon” or suddenly yelling loudly, “I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar” over the PA system is not acceptable.The proper response to a safety briefing is not “That’s what you think”.A “Safety Dance” and a “Safety Briefing” are not required to be combined and performed prior to training or operations.Submitting maintenance reports for apparatus such as; number three turbine has frequent flame-outs, flux capacitor emits loud whine when engaged, primary buffer panel missing, etc. are not appreciated by Logistics.“Stoner Approved” stickers are not to be placed on any apparatus or equipment.If this keeps up this job is going to actually begin to be work-like.
