    Good. I did my first patient care all by myself this Sunday. I have been doing pt care for awhile now but always under someone. Then we had to call Paramedics so I had to give a report to the paramedics. Of course it was like the best paramedic. He said I did great.

    Of course i know Van and George. They're senior guys in my company (Truck 1). Van is a commissioner here and probably one of the nicest people i know and George is another one of the nicest people i know and he taught me hour to pour a beer correctly. Van's son is the captain of our company as well.
