Forgot to hide my work stuff so of course now I am getting grilled about where I work

What I’m doing
What days

Hours

Etc.

Holy Christ why are they so obsessive?!

I’m 30, an emt of 7 years and have a degree in psychology.

I’ve been trying to transition out of the field but recruiters seem to think I’m not a good fit because medicine is where I have experience(aka don’t want to train someone).

I’ve worked more than EMS, also worked some pharmacy at the same time, as well as volunteering for various groups.

What did you do prior and what do you do now? How long did it take, what did you have to do?

I’m in the US(seemed like it wanted me to have my locale)

So a few weeks ago, I interviewed at an EMS service very impromptu style and was sadly told they didn’t have any hours available.

They will hire eventually for full or part time but for now, no hours.

I am curious if it’s worth asking if I could go per diem, just picking up or covering for call outs.

Yay or nay? Experiences doing that?

I’ve been an emt for 7 years but this is a first for me question wise.

I did an impromptu interview and it went well, they just don’t have the hours for now to hire. They weren’t explicitly hiring so I get it, but I am debating asking if I could sign on per diem and just pickup shifts or cover for call outs.

They are a good place and backup a large city.

Should I ask? Should I wait?

This isn’t a bad post, more of a “I saw it and was a bit dumbfounded”

The bathroom, someone finished the roll of TP and there was a tower of new TP and it’s easy to switch. Why did this person not just… be nice and switch it?

I’m not working today, and I was just like “oh ok.”

Obviously things like, some don’t like misbehaved kids, etc.

What’s yours?

So the other day I made the mistake of going to a brewery and my father knew I was going so he joined.

I had just gotten my third(and last as that’s my limit) and my father started saying how I was drunk, shouldn’t drive, etc, everyone’s saying you’re drunk(he sent a longggg text). So instead of stopping me from driving, he leaves, so I went TO EVERYBODY I KNEW AND ASKED IF I WAS DRUNK.

Each person: No, and they would’ve taken my keys.

Asked the bartender and he goes: Do you feel ok?

Me: yep!

Him: good because agreed and if you were drunk I wouldn’t serve you and I’d take your keys, here’s a water too just because I know YOU have your rituals of have a few, have a water.

Cue today: my father is acting like I’m an alcoholic and saying again, everyone was so concerned, etc., how I was at a restaurant for hours(also why count how long I’m anywhere?) so I said no. It’s because you want control and to watch me, maybe I just won’t drink at all to which he THANKED ME AND SAID HED LOVE THAT.

So he went insane, cue another long text.

Y’all, I appreciate concern, but over the top is a no dog.

Which begs the questions: if they were, why didn’t they take my keys?

How is it that when they were my age, they’d go out and such, but now? I need to be like them in their 50’s.

Y’all, I appreciate concern, but over the top is a no dog.

Which begs 2 questions: why didn’t anyone take my keys if they were so concerned?

How is it that at my age, they were able to go out and such, but now I need to act like them at theirs? Aka not going out.

Yep.

He threw me under the bus for not doing anything (I did a card and chocolate) after saying oh let’s split for flowers.

Then Mother’s Day: throws me under the bus, throws a tantrum, calls me selfish.

Now my sister and him are demanding money (10$ because ya know, breaking the bank here boys!)

So paying kinda defeats the purpose as he threw me under the bus and said I did nothing.

I have 0 clue wtf is going on anymore.

I was at a bar tonight having dinner and a drink and it got quiet so it was just me, my buddy and my buddy the bartender.

My buddy. Was to my left

Bartender buddy? Was in front of me.

Then I saw it.

The shadow walk by me to my left, clear as day. And somehow clear through the blinds to the dining area.

I didn’t feel scared, or worried. It was almost as if a patron was walking by and saying enjoy sir. I say that because I felt warm as it walked by.

What’s your experience?

My parents… are obsessed with me. Namely the Nfather.

They’ll text every time I’m working asking if I’m working, if I’m still working and when I’m leaving? Seem to know and ask where I am.

If I go out? Same thing, obsessed texting.

I noticed they’re not like this with my sister.

Despite…. My having a degree, working full time, etc.

I don’t get any peace.

Anyone else?! Obsession?!

So Monday I had an interview for a job and I was told to send an email with resume and references.

My email was being a dink and didn’t send until yesterday.

I’m curious, would it be bad to call and essentially follow up so soon, even if it’s really to confirm my email was sent?

How to show I’ve matured and grown at interview?

So a few years ago I was going through a tough time as an emt and really burnt out, depressed, tired, and my partner got hurt during a shift at our other service.

I was not the best employee at the time to the other service we’d worked and so I called it.

How do I show emotional maturity and growth when going to an interview for them tomorrow?

Lemme preface this, I am nice to everyone. You are a part of a team and unless you’re lazy, detracting from patient care or rude, I will give you my 10000%.

Holy Jesus meatball Christ.

Just had a CNA snap at me for and insult me for being late(not their job).

That same CNA as I was in a trauma room, insulted me IN FRONT OF A FRICKIN PATIENT. Then proceeded to push me out of the way so she could put a Johnny on the way they wanted…. Sorry focusing on vitals and patient life is more important than if a Johnny is 100%.

I reported her to charge and the ER manager.

I’ve had some bad CNA’s, such as lazy or rude, but that was a new level.

I need a drink.

Edit: she walked by and made snarky remarks. Oh boy
