Oddly enough, at my still-fairly-new and super-grownup job... it's Spirit Week! This is actually National Telecommunicators Week, so you should all be a little more mindful of and generally thankful to the people on the other end of the phone when you dial 911. I don't mean me... at least not yet. The highlights of the week have been eclectic, for sure.
* Monday: Hawaiian Day - I got to type my first non-training 911 call next to a trainer. she talked... I typed. It was scary as CRAP, but frighteningly fun
* Tuesday: Sports Day - I got out of my pj's and into some really comfortable sweats and a hoodie for the day. I learned that KFC takes pot pie reservations
* Wednesday: Pajama Day - i slept in sweats and then got into pj's for the day. I attended an awards ceremony for a couple of call receivers and was impressed by their accomplishments and proud to work at the same place. The King County Medical Director was there, and a Fire Chief, and KING 5 news... and I was in pj's. There goes my award chances.
* Thursday: Camo Day - i kept referring to this as commando day, and thankfully no one dressed accordingly. The big fat deal for today was that I took and PASSED MY WRITTEN FINAL EXAM!!! All 6 of us passed, and passed well. The 2nd to last hurdle has been cleared. I almost have successfully completed my training... and I am even starting to feel ready to the job.
* Friday: Police/Fire/EMS Day - today people will dress in their fire station sweatshirts and Bacon Bowl hats and show support for law enforcement and fire/medic services. I am dressed "business casual" today because 7 people from Admin (including the director of the center) are taking us to a 2-hour lunch to celebrate us passing and to officially welcome us to Valley Comm... now that we haven''t flunked out. I feel a little bit important today. :)
The weekend hold busyness and volleyball and a lighter study load that previous weekends. I'll be putting the finishing touches on my reference book that will be my lifeline and guide to get me through my practical exam on Tuesday. All of that is days away though. Tonight I will doing some semi-serious partying with the 5 other girls who have battled hard and totally earned the right to be called a big fat deal!! Don't worry ... they aren't at all offended by that.
PARTY AT DOCK STREET!!!!!!!
