Wow it's been a while. The reason for my lack of blogging has been an increase in work and a lack of change. There really isnt much to write as of late. However! Fear not, I have managed to collect the following exiting items of news. (I say fear not because I'm sure there's this intense terror rolling around everyone at not having heard the latest meaningless details of my life).
I am officially driving for the Juno's! Which means there is a possibility that I could be escorting celebrities around saskatoon. I'm not sure if I'll be driving Nelly Furtado or some sound equipment, but I received an email telling me not to under any circumstances ask the famous people for their autograph, so I'm thinking there's a chance. Jokes on them tho, they think I'm a professional driver. HA!
I discovered while working with one of my favorite paramedics (yes I have my favorites) that some of the ambulances have an option to make the siren sound like the british ones. If you heard an ambulance driving around downtown blaring a European siren, I was most definitely riding in it, laughing hysterically, and no don't confusing the locals trying to get out of our way.
I am learning that there is a fine line between self esteem and arrogance. Is it alright for me to feel proud of myself after doing a call to the best of my abilities? Or is that wrong, considering my success comes from Christ? That's an open question to anyone who wants to answer it. I know there's a boundary in there somewhere I need to find, I'm just not sure where it is. Speaking of being proud of myself, however, I recently got a 23/25 on an advanced life support test. Which basically means I did good on a test that is meant for those with higher training then myself, like paramedics and EMT-A's. Okay, that there might have been pure arrogance.
And I am absolutely loving this beautiful weather, even if the potholes make me have to drive 10km everywhere for fear that my muffler will fall off. It's been so long since we could drive with our windows open. I think in winter you forget what fresh air is like.

Two things...
1. I have definately forgotten what fresh air is like...it's in very low supply here...as in zero.
2. If you end up driving celebs...you could drive them by my place so I could ask them for autographs? There's no rule about that, is there? Actually I'm not a big fan of asking for autographs...
Heather I love you.
And about driving those celebrities...you can take me around town when I come home :)
And I don't think it's bad to be proud of yourself sometimes, especially when you know it's God that has given you the ability to do whatever task you are proud of that you did. But it is very very easy to get full of yourself...ahh fall of man...
"Is it alright for me to feel proud of myself after doing a call to the best of my abilities?"
In a word, yes; to be arrogant about it is not, and the difference is yours to decide.
If I was supposed to pick up a celebrity from the airport and it was a celebrity I didn't like,and they asked me to take them to their hotel, I would be tempted to drop him/her off in like, the middle of a really rough part of the city at some random apartment building and tell them its the fanciest hotel in Saskatoon, and be like see ya later sucka!
You would then of course have to leave town for a few months till the heat dies down but yeah...
how did you get this job????
i just wanted to comment about the fresh air. today was the first day i opened my bedroom window and it was so great to feel a breeze flow through!
heather i totally laughed out loud at the siren thing. i could just picture you doing that.
