home again home again

Just got home from shift uno. I don't really like thinking about work when I'm not there. It's nice to take a break and not talk about it. But, in the anti-spirit of that thought, the first day was fine. It was pretty laid back because it was Christmas. We didn't run any calls, except one alarm activation that was canceled after we pulled out of the station. We didn't even drill much, just rifled through every compartment on the engine to make lists of what was inside. Still managed to stay up late and slept kind of crappy so I'm pretty tired right now. I wish I could write more about this but basically I ate two huge meals really fast (we all have to finish together and the guys eat fast and I put too much food on my plate so I paid for it and trained for an eating contest all at once) and got the low-down from our senior crew all day as we learned the ins and outs of our new shift. I'm sure I'll have more interesting stories later. Happy Boxing Day.
