The Weekend

I keep forgetting that this place is like a ghost town on the weekends.

I guess the big news is that I gave notice this week that I will be retiring on Sept 30, 2011. A year before I had originally planned. But life tends to present us with certain events and situations that require us to adjust our plans and adapt to life's little surprises.

While I plan to take some time to rest I know that I will not be inactive for long.

There is just something about this crazy, yet wonderful profession that has become a part of my being. I'm not sure what awaits around the next bend along the road of life, but it will in some way involve EMS.

How could it not.

Comment by Duncan Hitchcock on December 27, 2009 at 5:03pm: I probably shouldn't say this, but I've been on call for the the long holiday weekend and not a single page. Yes, I checked it. Its working. So is the cell phone. Interesting.

Comment by Duncan Hitchcock on December 20, 2009 at 8:08am: I grow tired of the tendency that every discussion deteriorates into the same old same old.....fire verses third services verses private and everyone verses volunteer. It's mind boggling (sp?).

I still think that those that want to become involved in kinda activity need a special subgroup in jems connect. We could call it the "Whiners Club. Bring your own cheese and crackers".

Comment by Duncan Hitchcock on December 11, 2009 at 6:19pm: And Friday nights are worse than the weekends.

just my two cents

Comment by Duncan Hitchcock on December 6, 2009 at 8:16am: And so, here we are early on another Sunday morning. Catching up on reading the different posts on the different forums. While the good news is that the broken record of sharking at each other over what type of system you think is best appears to have waned a bit, I'm sure that it will eventually make it past the skip in the record and return again....again....again.

Comment by Nathan on November 27, 2009 at 2:10pm: It was a great holiday. Ive been traveling around the upper North West for almost a year so its great to be back in the South East seeing family and friends.

Fact or fiction? Why not a little of both? "based on" your experiences....
I think you might be pleasantly surprised by the audience size. Nonetheless, if you keep the overhead low it wont matter too much if its not on Opera's book list. Then again you never know, it might end up a best seller....

Comment by Duncan Hitchcock on November 27, 2009 at 10:02am: Thanks, Nathan. Hope your holiday was cool. Turkey was great.

I, like many people, have thought about writing. The hard part is deciding between fact or fiction. Perhaps a both. A book of the ramblings of a crusty old fart and his experiences from the early days. Or a fictious book about the things we see and experience.

But the audience would be limited. Sorta like those standup comedians that can only do the medical seminar circuit. Then again, maybe that should be my audience, the folks in the business.
