Why are they two separate entities and where is the border? Isn’t it their job to pinpoint where you are/ask the address of the emergency??

Yesterday I called 911 for the accident behind me on 176 South and the operator asked me if I was in Parma or Cleveland. I was mid-panic; I was pretty sure I was still in Cleveland since the accident was right at the Spring Road entrance ramp. I said Cleveland and she told me “let me transfer you.”

The call transfers, and the new operator asks “Are you in Parma or Cleveland?” And I said the accident is in Cleveland on 176 South!!!! She said “Let me transfer you.” At this point, 90 crucial seconds have gone by.

I had told both operators the accident was on 176 South and they kept asking if I was in Parma or Cleveland. Why???? Then the second operator put me on hold while she conferred with the prior operator. She was still also trying to talk to me but her voice sounded very far away and there was a loud, pre-recorded message about “all operators being occupied and please wait for the next available operator” in both English and Spanish playing while she was trying to talk to me. It was all very stressful.

Additionally, I have had the same address for three years. The first drivers license I had issued when I moved here listed Cleveland as my city. This year, I got my motorcycle endorsement and a new ID; now my city is listed as Parma. I guess I live right on the edge…?

An rv just flipped over and wrecked really bad on 176 south, gonna be a long time to clean up. Sending prayers to all on board

I’m feeling the post festival blues heavy and it’s due to their total upheaval of the weekend. Melted my face, my brain, and my will to live. I hope I can see them again. Wild that Buck’s nearly 80 and still holds us in the palm of his hand.

How did you do it? I want to get out of the prison I’ve created for myself (blue collar cnc machine operation) but I know the grass ain’t always greener. Have you lied your way into a corporate position? Is it hard to play the games?

Edited to add: I’m not usually a person inclined to lie about my skills or certifications. I’m actually very good at what I do; just — after 7 years of watching the same fucks make 6 figures to do the same back asswards nothing burger that my managers have, it has me wondering…how hard could it be?

We just hired an outside new guy as our plant manager this year and he uses AI for all communication and meeting preps. I hate AI but a bitch could learn to use it if it means 6 figure salary.

Man, I wish I’d known this was in the works so I could’ve stopped in one last time. I hope whoever bought it doesn’t destroy it :(
