Yesterday was just a clusterfuck at work. If ever I needed a drink it was after a day like that. Our ambulance had no heat so we take it in to get it fixed, should be easy right? Wrong. Ends in us running a simple errand for the company that turned into both my partner and I in separate cars running out of gas 20miles from our destination and no gas cards in either vehicle. Pretty comical and outrageous. The even funnier part was when the company expected us to pay out of pocket for gas then submit a bill for repayment, which I know either takes a month or doesn't happen at all. Needless to say for all the little that this company does for us as employees I would rather run out of gas on side of road before putting a dollar of my own money into their tanks.
Once the situation was fixed, they had to send another crew to pay for gas, and errand was completed they gave us a new ambulance to check out. This ambulance was so old there was a layer of filth and dust piled on the cot so thick it took about half a box of Lysol wipes to clean and it still wasn't up to code. Half of the items needed were missing out of it and the stretcher had no straps, was ripped open on one side and the wheels were functioning like when I have one to many shots, wobbly and crooked.
After all this we still get held over a hour after our off time while other crews with later off times are being sent home. I won't complain though because that's extra money in my pocket but sometimes I wonder how dispatch was trained, surely not to be logical and give calls out in a fashion that makes sense, nope, just willy nilly, call here call, it's ok that you are no where near this but at least it's going to be taken care of.
Needless to say I skipped the much needed drink and went straight to bed, some days just never end.
