Taking care of business? 2008-07-12 20:12:00 I realized it's been a few days since posting to the blog. I haven't had really much of anything happening. My priorities have been mostly focused on looking for work here in Atlanta.Since, I cannot get employment as an EMT here in Georgia with a basic certification, and the fact that sorting out my firefighting certification is a whole other ball game, I am looking for part-time work in retail fo Read more:Taking
Beck - Chemtrails 2008-07-09 22:11:00 I recently obtained Beck's new CD named "Modern Guilt". I had heard a preview of the song "Chemtrails" by him and wondered what the story was behind it.Ahh. Wikipedia. It says:The Chemtrail conspiracy theory holds that the trails seen behind some aircraft are not ordinary contrails, but are the result of high-altitude spraying of some kind of chemicals for some secret purpose. There are different
Economic Stimulus = EMT-I for me 2008-07-09 12:29:00 I will be one of the last recipients to receive the economic stimulus check from the government. I was blessed with a SS # with the last two digits in the 90's. Well, better late than never. My decision for the 600$ you ask? Go back to school and get that needed EMT-Intermediate training.I guess the bills will have to wait a little longer... Read more:Economic
A blog about Brittany! France that is... 2008-07-08 23:43:00 I was so happy to take on a mini-project with one of my dearest friends, Cheryl this past weekend. The two of us created a blog for her so that she could share stories of her life in Brittany
, France
.Her friendship to me is family. I am thrilled that her blog is up and running. I wish I could write as expressively and compassionately as she does. Her link is up on the personal links section or
To use Blogger or Wordpress? 2008-07-08 23:22:00 I am cross blogging at the moment. Fireman Ed (the blog) exists in two places at the moment. Wordpress
.com's "free blog space" and here at Blogger
.I admit that I love the freedom that I get here at Blogger, but Wordpress has a certain elegance in it's tools that I find irresistible.For now, I'll import the posts over from Blogger to Wordpress.Now, I am a Mac user true and true, but I just didn't
Question answered.. 2008-06-20 21:47:00 After really looking around on the web, my question about EMT-basics in Georgia according to the web site #employment states:The EMT-Basic represents the first component of the emergency medical technician system. An EMT-B is trained to care for patients on accident scenes, but in Georgia he or she cannot transport a patient. The EMT-B has the emergency skills to assess a pa Read more:Question
EMT-b vs. EMT-I vs. me 2008-05-15 00:27:00 Much to my dismay, I found out soon after arriving to Georgia that my Emergency Medical Technician Basic certification, which allowed me to work in Texas, and a lot of other states was not adequate enough for Georgia. All the ambulance services that I found in and around the Atlanta area hire only intermediate certified individuals.-----------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Georgia 2008-04-24 16:08:00 I have just rolled into Georgia
last night after a three month stay out in Dallas. I became certified in Firefighting and as an Emergency Medical Technician in Texas in 2007. My jump start in this career became derailed after some disappointing interviews, failed and unrealized promises and financial landmines. The decision was made to be closer to family and to transition my second career to the Read more:Welcome
Back to the books 2008-08-11 08:27:00 A little light at the end of the tunnel. I am now enrolled in the Emergency Medical Technician - Intermediate course. I hate to admit it but I really love being in school. My work is cut out for me though. The course is intense. There are 38 chapters and around 1500 pages to absorb. Target finish is December. I'm sure I'll have something to say about the content on the blog during this time
WoW - My way 2008-08-23 08:11:00 I play World of Warcraft. Defined by Wiki, World of Warcraft (commonly acronymed as WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). You might of heard of it via the South Park episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft."Like a lot of players of the game, I have max-ed my characters out to level 70, and become bored of the game. I really don't play well with others, and that seems to
#ems, #firefighters on Efnet 2008-09-23 09:02:00 Remember IRC?. Wiki description: Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet chat or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message, as well as chat and data transfers via Direct Client-to-Client.I first used IRC back in the mid 90's on Windows using the Mirc.
