9

It's been weeks and weeks and I've still been waiting for my paperwork to get processed. Once it all goes through, then i'll have my county EMT IM number. I'll need that to officially become affiliated with a station. I've been riding with a station called 899, but its a startup station and we havent had any techs come through regularly so taking the unit out has been far and few between. I think if things dont pick up soon, 899 is not going to last too much longer. Sad but true. Ironically, I got a call from a station that I visited months ago when I first started taking my EMT class. Bladensburg Station 9. I really liked riding with them, everyone was nice, and they seemed to have a decent call volume. Only problem was, my paperwork kinda got stuck in a grey area, I got discouraged, and never really looked back.

They called this afternoon, apparently they had some changing of the guard and asked if I was still interested. I hope I"m not burning bridges, but I said I am interested. Going there this weekend, so we'll see what happens. It's a bit of a drive - 40min - but I remember thats how long it took me to drive to school everyday back in college, so I think i can manage a few times a month.
