Another Firefighter Out..

Yes, our Fire Department just lost another firefighter.. To illness this time. Yes, I tested POSITIVE for Strep Throat. So, I am considered contagious for the next 2 days, which just adds to the Chief's scheduling problems. I also am working on a big project, which I wanted finished by FRIDAY, and is now delayed until after Christmas. GREAT. I spoke with my Division Chief on the phone, and his comment was, "Great, you got sick just in time for Christmas."

While at the nurses station, she asked me if my kid has had Strep lately. I replied "No, my wife did." Nurse smiled, then asked the dumbest question ever. "So do you know how you got it?" I replied, "Ummm... Ya, 10 years of marriage, we still kiss, and umm... Stuff!" She got a funny look on her face, and said, "Ya, I guess that should have been obvious! Sorry!"

So, look out! I am likely to be bored and posted all sorts of ridiculous crap on here!

BTW.... THANKS BABY CHICKEN!

On a brighter note, I received a letter in the mail Saturday.

From: City of ######
Bureau of Human Resources
