OK I must be showing my age but the recent heat wave is draining me... :(
It's 11 AM here in South Jersey and it's already 90 degrees. It's like Mexico heat but without the pools and all-inclusive drinks ;) lol...Thank God I'm off because the last two days at work sucked. Monday's highlight was some girl fainting behind the wheel and taking out four parked cars along Ocean Drive (the beach road) she wasn't hurt bad but I though I was gonna faint my ownself at the scene while getting her out of the car and lifting her into the amb. Two of the parked cars were owned by French-Canadians who although they spoke only broken english proceeded to go into a cellphone and digital camera frenzy while beating my ear...The other two cars belonged to a blonde and a brunette in bikini's who were together on the beach...so it wasn't a complete fiasco ;)
Yesterday three out of our little five man squad decide to call out sick....and we can only get one person to come in...Highlight is the Electric co. shutting down power to half the town for an hour...which of course dragged out to three....The phones went crazy...I had to have the Special Officers out directing traffic at the streetlights in relays so we wouldn't have any drop.
However, I did manage to keep my vest on both days...so I'm still got something left I suppose.
