Working Saturdays

Working on Saturday sucks, not that I had big plans or anything, it just sucks to work on Saturday. For the majority of my EMS career I was working on Saturdays. In fact just about every Saturday, and for the Ambulance crews, Saturdays sucked. The demand on Saturdays was just about as strong on the weekdays, but we always understaffed. So if you were on a rig, Saturdays could be rough. I worked one 10 hour shift one day, from 10am to 8pm I believe, and we literally ran the whole day, non-stop. From the moment we jumped in the ambulance to the moment we got off shift there was no stopping, no luch breaks or anything, pretty nutty. Now I am sitting in an office with nothing but pretty menial office work to do. But hey at least I don't have to lift 400lbs diabetics, or have people vomit on me. Good Times.
